  1. Recanzone and Sutter Presented by Joseph Schilz Review: The Biological Basis of Audition

  2. Outline • Introduction • Organization of Audition • Auditory Spatial Processing Interactions with visual stimuli Ventriloquism effect Ventriloquism after-effect • Auditory Temporal Processing Temporal integration Forward masking Gap detection

  3. Introduction • Audition and vision major sensory systems • Audition does not have the significant history of research that vision does • Differences between audition and vision • Tasks in decoding audition: Where a sound came from Spectral properties Temporal properties Identifying what sound represents • Review's focus: location and temporal properties

  11. Auditory Spatial Processing • Cues • Interactions with visual stimuli Ventriloquism effect Ventriloquism after-effect

  12. Fig 3. Recanzone and Sutter Auditory Spatial Processing Cues

  14. Auditory Spatial Processing Ventriloquism effect • Definition • Cognitive factors “unity assumption” • Non-cognitive factors Timing Compellingness Spatial discrepancy/agreement

  15. Auditory Spatial Processing Ventriloquism effect • Early studies assumed that the more precise modality would “capture” the less precise modality. • Later studies showed a near optimal “mixing” of modality reports, respecting the measure-error variance of each modality.

  17. Auditory Spatial Processing Ventriloquism after-effect • If subject is presented with audio/visual stimuli of a consistent spatial disparity, subjects spatial perception of acoustic space shifted after • Long lasting • Does not transfer across frequencies • Different from other adaption illusions: lasts tens of minutes, does not transfer across frequencies, in the same direction of adapting stimulus.

  18. Auditory Spatial Processing Ventriloquism after-effect Fig 4: Design and ResultsRecanzone

  19. Auditory Spatial Processing Ventriloquism after-effect • Difficulty of single unit recording in illusions. • Direct projection from auditory to visual (observed in primates)‏ • Direct projection from visual to auditory (observed in ferrets) • Several areas in brain with multisensory response • Ghanzafar study

  20. Auditory Temporal Processing • Definition • Temporal integration • Forward masking • Gap detection

  21. Auditory Temporal Processing Definition • Can mean processing of temporal aspects of stimuli or ability of neurons to encode stimulus by temporal aspects of firing • We refer to former • Temporal processing could be interpreted to include spectral processing • We don't consider spectral processing here

  22. Auditory Temporal Processing Temporal integration • Our environments are noisy; audition might wait a bit and let noise average itself out before passing on a percept • On the other hand, some decisions need to be made quickly; audition shouldn't hold onto information for too long • How to assess? At what levels is this occurring?

  23. Auditory Temporal Processing Temporal integration Fig 4. Dallos and Olsen

  24. Auditory Temporal Processing Temporal integration • Varies with loudness, frequency, duration • Bloch's Law (Loudness x Duration = k)‏ • Leaky integrator model • Mean integration times of 30-40msec in humans

  25. Auditory Temporal Processing Temporal integration • Clock et al. found similar constants of integration in chinchilla cochlear nucleus neurons and chinchilla behavior • Exponential leaky integrator fit model well • But, auditory nerve neurons had time constants much larger • Explanation

  26. Auditory Temporal Processing Forward masking • Two sounds presented sequentially, with some gap, sometimes subject will not perceive second sound. • Depends on many factors • Generally measured as afunction of first sound's duration. Fig 4. Recanzone and Sutter

  27. Auditory Temporal Processing Forward masking • Likely a result of adaptation.

  28. Auditory Temporal Processing Gap detection • Temporal resolution vs. temporal integration • One paradigm for temporal resolution: gap detection • Humans able to detect gaps in noise as small as 1-2msec • Auditory nerve firing shows gaping pattern • Likely some role of cortex in detecting gaps, as shown by lesion, deactivation studies
