Subject: [AUDITORY] Seminar Announcement - September 14 - E.A.R.S. (Electronic Auditory Research Seminars) From: "Vogler, Nathan" <Nathan.Vogler@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2021 15:52:06 +0000--_000_MN2PR04MB6127FF8371F7651D304CF42BC8D49MN2PR04MB6127namp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear fellow neuroscientists, We would like to invite you to join us on Tuesday, September 14 at 1:00 pm = EDT (UTC-4) for the next edition of E.A.R.S. (Electronic Auditory Research = Seminars), a monthly auditory seminar series with the focus on central audi= tory processing and circuits. Please pre-register (for free) and tune in vi= a Crowdcast (enter your email to receive the link for the talk): https://ww= w.crowdcast.io/e/ears/10 (Note: for optimal performance, we recommend using Google Chrome as your br= owser). Speakers: Dr. David Schneider (New York University): =93Motor-related expectation dri= ves predictive processing in mouse auditory cortex=94 In the auditory cortex of mice, monkeys, and humans, self-g= enerated sounds (e.g. vocalizations or footsteps) are processed differently= than are other environmental sounds. Here, we describe and quantify a beha= vioral paradigm for studying how the brain processes self-generated sounds = and we provide evidence that expectation-related modulation in the cortex d= erives from a precise, movement-based internal model. Dr. Laurel Carney (University of Rochester): =93Neural Representations of S= timulus Envelopes: What=92s Inside?=94 Most studies of envelope processing have focused on either = the wideband stimulus envelope, or on the envelopes of a linear filterbank = representing the auditory periphery. This talk will introduce the transform= ation of stimulus envelope that occur from the auditory periphery through t= he auditory midbrain. Nonlinear transduction of sensory receptor cells in t= he cochlear, together with nonlinear cochlear amplification, result in sign= ificant distortion (or enhancement) of stimulus features related to the env= elopes of complex sounds. Consideration of the neural representation of sti= mulus envelope features provides a different insight for considerations of = psychophysical sensitivity to this aspect of complex sounds. Additional upcoming E.A.R.S. seminars: October 12, at 1:00 pm ET November 30, at 1:00 pm ET December 14, at 1:00 pm ET With kind wishes, Maria Geffen Yale Cohen Steve Eliades Stephen David Alexandria Lesicko Nathan Vogler Jean-Hugues Lestang Huaizhen Cai --_000_MN2PR04MB6127FF8371F7651D304CF42BC8D49MN2PR04MB6127namp_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w=3D"urn:sc= hemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/of= fice/2004/12/omml" xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3DWindows-1= 252"> <meta name=3D"Generator" content=3D"Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"> <style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @xxxxxxxx {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @xxxxxxxx {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:#0563C1; text-decoration:underline;} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:windowtext;} span.apple-converted-space {mso-style-name:apple-converted-space;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;} @xxxxxxxx WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style> </head> <body lang=3D"EN-US" link=3D"#0563C1" vlink=3D"#954F72" style=3D"word-wrap:= break-word"> <div class=3D"WordSection1"> <p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"color:black">Dear fellow neuroscienti= sts,<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-variant-caps= : normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-size-adju= st: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span style=3D"color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-variant-caps= : normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-size-adju= st: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span style=3D"color:black">We would like to invite you to join us on = <b>Tuesday, September 14 at 1:00 pm EDT</b> (UTC-4) for the next editi= on of E.A.R.S.
