Adaptation is an essential feature of auditory neurons, which reduces their responses to
unchanging and recurring sounds and allows their response properties to be matched to the …

Psychotic disorders affect 3% of the population at some stage in life, are a leading cause of
disability, and impose a great economic burden on society. Major breakthroughs in the …

Schizophrenia is a major mental disorder that affects approximately 1% of the population
worldwide. Cognitive deficits are a key feature of the disorder and a primary cause of long …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the human event-related potential (ERP) is
frequently interpreted as a sensory prediction-error signal. However, there is ambiguity …

Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA), the reduction of neural activity to a common stimulus that
does not generalize to other, rare stimuli, is an essential property of our brain. Although well …

Typical everyday sounds, such as those of speech or running water, are spectrotemporally
complex. The ability to recognize complex sounds (CxSs) and their associated meaning is …

Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a component of the difference waveform derived from passive
auditory oddball stimulation. Since its inception in 1978, this has become one of the most …

Rapid detection of novel stimuli that appear suddenly in the surrounding environment is
crucial for an animal's survival. Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) may be an important …

The insular cortex is believed to be involved in a wide range of auditory functions in the
mammalian brain. We studied the organization and basic response properties of auditory …

Neuromorphic computer models are used to explain sensory perceptions. Auditory models
generate cochleagrams, which resemble the spike distributions in the auditory nerve …
