Exogenous delivery of neurotrophic factors into the cochlea of deafened animals rescues spiral ganglion cells (SGCs) from degeneration. To be clinically relevant for human cochlear implant candidates, the protective effect of... more
The information in musical signals—including recordings, written music, mechanical or electronic storage files and the signal in the auditory nerve—are compared as we trace the information chain that links the minds of composer, performer... more
MFCC are features commonly used in speech recognition systems today. The recognition accuracy of systems using MFCC is known to be high in clean speech environment, but it drops greatly in noisy environment. In this paper, we propose new... more
The responses to sound of auditory-nerve fibers are well known in many animals but are topics of conjecture for humans. Some investigators have claimed that the auditory-nerve fibers of humans are more sharply tuned than are those of... more
We develop a computational modeling framework to study information processing in the auditory pathway. Complex sounds consisting of a series of frequency modulated sweeps were used as test stimuli for our system. Frequency modu lation is... more
There is growing evidence that the dynamics of biological systems that appear to be exponential over short time courses are in some cases better described over the long-term by power-law dynamics. A model of rate adaptation at the synapse... more
Discharge patterns recorded from single auditory-nerve fibers have demonstrated long-range dependence, with the count variance-to-mean ratio growing as a power of the counting time for times greater than 0.1-1 s. The intent of this study... more
This paper outlines a taxonomy of neural pulse codes and reviews neurophysiological evidence for interspike interval-based representations for pitch and timbre in the auditory nerve and cochlear nucleus. Neural pulse codes can be divided... more
