In primates, the sense of touch has traditionally been considered to be a spatial modality,
drawing an analogy to the visual system. In this view, stimuli are encoded in spatial patterns …

An essential task of the auditory system is to discriminate between different communication
signals, such as vocalizations. In everyday acoustic environments, the auditory system …

The cochlear nuclei are the first central processors of auditory information and provide
inputs to all the major brainstem and midbrain auditory nuclei. Although the local circuits …

We report evidence of mode-locking to the envelope of a periodic stimulus in chopper units
of the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN). Mode-locking is a generalized description of how …

Information processing in the nervous system critically relies on temporally precise spiking
activity. In the auditory system, various degrees of phase-locking can be observed from the …

Counts of spike coincidences provide a powerful means to compare responses to different
stimuli or of different neurons, particularly regarding temporal factors. A drawback is that …

The impact of thalamic state on information transmission to the cortex remains poorly
understood. This limitation exists due to the rich dynamics displayed by thalamocortical …

Neuronal communication forms the basis for all behavior, from the smallest movement to our
grandest thought processes. Among the many mechanisms that support these functions …

Measurement of the information flow along the ascending auditory pathway from the
periphery to the auditory cortex (AC) has been given much attention in neurocomputation …

The fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have vastly expanded in the
past decade, with a variety of modern applications, ranging from computer vision to …
