Adaptation is an essential feature of auditory neurons, which reduces their responses to
unchanging and recurring sounds and allows their response properties to be matched to the …

Listening in noisy or complex sound environments is difficult for individuals with normal
hearing and can be a debilitating impairment for those with hearing loss. Extracting …

Sensory systems preferentially strengthen responses to stimuli based on their reliability at
conveying accurate information. While previous reports demonstrate that the brain reweighs …

Humans and animals constantly face challenging acoustic environments, such as various
background noises, that impair the detection, discrimination and identification of …

Efficient information coding (EIC) is a universal biological framework rooted in the
fundamental principle that system responses should match their natural stimulus statistics for …

Highlights•Sound perception in noisy environments is a major challenge for the auditory
system.•Adaptation to sound statistics helps to form noise-tolerant neural representations.• …

Coordinated neuronal activity has been identified to play an important role in information
processing and transmission in the brain. However, current research predominantly focuses …

Sensory experience during development has lasting effects on perception and neural
processing. Exposing juvenile animals to artificial stimuli influences the tuning and …

Sound information is transmitted from the ear to central auditory stations of the brain via
several nuclei. In addition to these ascending pathways there exist descending projections …

Cortical processing of auditory information can be affected by interspecies differences as
well as brain states. Here we compare multifeature spectro-temporal receptive fields …
