The human superior temporal gyrus (STG) is critical for extracting meaningful linguistic
features from speech input. Local neural populations are tuned to acoustic-phonetic features …

Since the early days of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), retinotopic map**
emerged as a powerful and widely-accepted tool, allowing the identification of individual …

Understanding the neural basis of speech perception requires that we study the human
brain both at the scale of the fundamental computational unit of neurons and in their …

Ultrasound has received widespread attention as an emerging technology for targeted, non-
invasive neuromodulation based on its ability to evoke electrophysiological and motor …

Perception is characterized by a reciprocal exchange of predictions and prediction error
signals between neural regions. However, the relationship between such sensory mismatch …

Sensory organ damage induces a host of cellular and physiological changes in the
periphery and the brain. Here, we show that some aspects of auditory processing recover …

Calcium imaging using two-photon scanning microscopy has become an essential tool in
neuroscience. However, in its typical implementation, the tradeoffs between fields of view …

Cortical sensory processing is modulated by behavioral and cognitive states. How this
modulation is achieved by changing synaptic circuits remains largely unknown. In awake …

Peripheral sensory organ damage leads to compensatory cortical plasticity that is
associated with a remarkable recovery of cortical responses to sound. The precise …

Animals require the ability to ignore sensory stimuli that have no consequence yet respond
to the same stimuli when they become useful. However, the brain circuits that govern this …
