Single neuron auditory responses are mapped through controlled stimulus repetition

Evidence

In such neurophysiological studies, sounds are presented to the animal, and the activity of single neurons or groups of neurons is then recorded. By carefully controlling the stimulus, and with a high number of repetitions, the representation of the auditory signals and analysis performed by the neurons can be figured out. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 814
