Neural Coding and Perception of Sound
HST.723J · Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Health Sciences and Technology · Graduate · Spring 2005
Dr. Bertrand Delgutte, Prof. Jennifer R. Melcher, Prof. John Guinan, Prof. M. Christian Brown, Prof. Andrew Oxenham
This course focuses on neural structures and mechanisms mediating the detection, localization and recognition of sounds. Discussions cover how acoustic signals are coded by auditory neurons, the impact of these codes on behavioral performance, and the circuitry and cellular mechanisms underlying signal transformations. Topics include temporal coding, neural maps and feature detectors, learning and plasticity, and feedback control. General principles are conveyed by theme discussions of auditory…
