Human Auditory Cortex: In Search of the Flying Dutchman
Understanding the roles played by auditory areas of human cerebral cortex in enabling us to perceive and respond to sounds in our environment continues to elude us. This is surely not because of lack of trying...

Direct Recordings from the Auditory Cortex in a Cochlear Implant User
Electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve with a cochlear implant (CI) is the method of choice for treatment of severe-to-profound hearing loss. Understanding how the human auditory cortex responds to CI st...

Chapter
Invasive Research Methods
Auditory cortex, in the classic sense of the term, is taken to be the cluster of anatomically and physiologically distinct areas of temporal neocortex that are uniquely and reciprocally connected with one anot...

Chapter
Auditory Evoked Potentials and Their Utility in the Assessment of Complex Sound Processing
Human auditory cortex is, in the classical sense, composed of multiple fields distributed both on the exposed surface of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) and on the areas buried within the Sylvian fissure on ...

Passive eye displacement alters auditory spatial receptive fields of cat superior colliculus neurons
The superior colliculus (SC) is thought to use a set of superimposed, topographically organized neural maps of visual, auditory, somatosensory and motor space to direct the eyes toward novel stimuli1,2. Auditory ...

Spatial Receptive Field Properties of Primary Auditory Cortical Neurons
The brain of a listener must compute the direction of a sound source that originates in free space by using the acoustic features present in the pressure waves that reach each eardrum. Because the two ears are...

Chapter
Spatial Receptive Fields of Single Neurons of Primary Auditory Cortex of the Cat
Neurons in the primary auditory cortical field (AI) have been shown to be sensitive to the direction of a sound when the source is either in an anechoic free field (Middle- brooks et al, 1980; Rajan et al, 199...

Chapter
An Implementation of Virtual Acoustic Space for Neurophysiological Studies of Directional Hearing
Sound produced by a free-field source and recorded near the cat’s eardrum has been transformed by a direction-dependent ‘Free-field-to-Eardrum Transfer Function’ (FETF) or, in the parlance of human psychophysi...

Thermal images of somatic sensory cortex obtained through the skull of rat and gerbil
Infrared images of the skull surface were obtained in urethane-anesthetized rats and gerbils before, during and after mechanical stimulation of the face and mystacial vibrissae on one side. Areas of increased ...

Chapter
An Overview of Central Auditory Processing
A listener’s perception of the world of sound is but an abstraction of physical reality. It is determined initially by the linear acoustic transformation performed by the head, pinnae and external ear canals, ...

Chapter
Auditory System
The auditory system is remarkable in the range of sound frequencies and intensities it can detect and in the small differences in these parameters it can discriminate. A young listener can hear sounds ranging ...

Chapter
Auditory Cortex
Auditory cortex refers, in the classical sense, to the temporal region of cerebral cortex that receives a major ascending afferent input from the medial geniculate body of the thalamus and contains neurons res...

Auditory Cortical Areas in Primates
Our knowledge of auditory areas of cerebral cortex in the primate begins with the published work of David Ferrier (4, 5). Following the experiments of Fritsch and Hitzig on the frontal lobe of the dog, Ferrier...

Chapter
The Auditory Cortex
Auditory cortex receives input from two major fiber systems. One system consists of the thalamocortical fibers that are the final link in the synaptic chain connecting the ear to the cerebral cortex. It is thi...
