Topic: cochlea model

The computational principles driving the transformation of sound information throughout the auditory system remains an intense subject of research. Here, we used large-scale samples of neuronal activity from the auditory cortex, thalamus and inferior colliculus in mice and from a detailed cochlea model to identify key transformations of population representations of simple, short (~500ms) time-varying sounds in the auditory pathway. Using noise-corrected metrics, we measured the similarity of evoked population patterns across sounds. In subcortical regions, this measure shows that the full tem
