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...


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...
