Responses to combinations of motion clouds were well explained by a simple summation mechanism of the individual components.

Finally, a subset of neurons exhibited responses that could distinguish different speeds.

We found that motion features were encoded in a temporally ordered sequence: orientation and spatial frequency emerged within 120 ms after stimulus onset, while temporal frequency and direction followed at later latencies.

We reveal a hierarchical gradient for background invariance in ferret auditory cortex with #fUSI 🔬, as found in humans by @joshhmcdermott.bsky.social.

Hierarchical encoding of natural sounds mixtures in ferret auditory cortex
Extracting relevant auditory signals from complex natural scenes is a fundamental challenge for the auditory system. Sounds from multiple sources overlap in time and frequency. In particular, dynamic ...

@magdalenasabat.bsky.social used 🔌 ephys to show that ferret auditory cortex neurons integrate sounds within fixed windows (~15–150 ms) that increase in non-primary auditory cortex, independent of information rate.

Neurons in auditory cortex integrate information within constrained temporal windows that are invariant to the stimulus context and information rate
Much remains unknown about the computations that allow animals to flexibly integrate across multiple timescales in natural sounds. One key question is whether multiscale integration is accomplished by...
