Wiener and Volterra analyses applied to the auditory system
TLDR
The correlation method has revealed that neural synchronization is less affected by intensity changes and damage to the hair cells than is neural firing rate and a particular form of second-order analysis, the Spectro Temporal Receptive Field, offers an alternative to first-order cross-correlation when phase-lock is absent.About:

Mechanics of the Mammalian Cochlea
Luis Robles,Mario A. Ruggero +1 more
TL;DR: The high sensitivity and sharp-frequency tuning, as well as compression and other nonlinearities (two-tone suppression and intermodulation distortion), are highly labile, indicating the presence in normal cochleae of a positive feedback from the organ of Corti, the "cochlear amplifier."

Do we know what the early visual system does
Matteo Carandini,Jonathan B. Demb,Valerio Mante,David J. Tolhurst,Yang Dan,Bruno A. Olshausen,Jack L. Gallant,Nicole C. Rust +7 more
TL;DR: Research is progressing with the goals of defining a single “standard model” for each stage of the visual pathway and testing the predictive power of these models on the responses to movies of natural scenes, which would be an invaluable guide for understanding the underlying biophysical and anatomical mechanisms and relating neural responses to visual perception.

Spectral-Temporal Receptive Fields of Nonlinear Auditory Neurons Obtained Using Natural Sounds
TL;DR: The results show that the STRF model is an incomplete description of response properties of nonlinear auditory neurons, but that linear receptive fields are still useful models for understanding higher level sensory processing, as long as the STRFs are estimated from the responses to relevant complex stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectro-temporal response field characterization with dynamic ripples in ferret primary auditory cortex.
TL;DR: It is shown that for most neurons, the lack of full separability stems from differences between the upward and downward spectral cross-section but not from the temporal cross-sections; this places strong constraints on the neural inputs of these AI units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal encoding in nervous systems: A rigorous definition
TL;DR: A rigorous definition for the term temporal encoding as it is applied to schemes for the representation of information within patterns of neuronal action potentials is proposed, and temporal encoding schemes from those based on window-averagedmean rate encoding are distinguished.

Measurement of basilar membrane motion in the guinea pig using the Mössbauer technique
TL;DR: It is suggested that most of the frequency response and nonlinear behavior of inner hair cells and afferent fibers may be found in basilar motion.

Measurement of the Wiener Kernels of a Non-linear System by Cross-correlation†
Y. W. Lee,M. Schetzen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a practical and relatively simple method of measuring the Wiener kernels of a non-linear system is presented, which is based upon cross-correlation techniques and avoids orthogonal expansions such as those of the original Wiener method of measurement.

Rate versus level functions for auditory‐nerve fibers in cats: tone‐burst stimuli
Murray B. Sachs,Paul J. Abbas +1 more
TL;DR: Average discharge rate of single auditory‐nerve fibers in cats was measured in response to 400‐msec tone bursts using a simple model consisting of a mechanical stage followed by a saturating nonlinearity (transducer stage) and input‐output function for the transducer is developed empirically.

Responses to amplitude-modulated tones in the auditory nerve of the cat.
Philip X. Joris,Tom C. T. Yin +1 more
TL;DR: AM responses of single auditory-nerve fibers of the cat are studied, systematically varying modulation depth, frequency, and sound level, and changes in average rate due to modulation were small, and could be enhancement or suppression.
