Correlating stimulus-specific adaptation of cortical neurons and local field potentials in the awake rat.

2 Nov 2009 Changes in the sensory environment are good indicators for behaviorally relevant events and strong triggers for the reallocation of attention. In the auditory domain, violations of a pattern of repetitive stimuli precipitate in the event-related ... Read more...

Reference frame of the ventriloquism aftereffect.

2 Nov 2009 Seeing the image of a newscaster on a television set causes us to think that the sound coming from the loudspeaker is actually coming from the screen. How images capture sounds is mysterious because the brain uses different methods for determining ... Read more...

Dynamic range adaptation to sound level statistics in the auditory nerve.

2 Nov 2009 The auditory system operates over a vast range of sound pressure levels (100-120 dB) with nearly constant discrimination ability across most of the range, well exceeding the dynamic range of most auditory neurons (20-40 dB). Dean et al. (2005) have ... Read more...
