Representations of Pitch and Timbre of Instrument Sounds in the Inferior Colliculus
Purpose: The neural representation of pitch and timbre in complex sounds has previously been studied using synthetic, controlled stimuli to investigate underlying encoding mechanisms. These studies provide information about how single attributes of sound are represented in the inferior colliculus (IC), a critical hub of the auditory pathway where neurons are sensitive to stimulus periodicity and…
