Synchronous Activity in the Auditory Forebrain Represents Temporal Landmarks in Vocal Communication Signals.

Precise temporal segmentation of sound is critical for identifying and interpreting complex acoustic signals such as human speech (Pisoni and Luce, 1987) and bird song (Gentner, 2008). Using the zebra finch model system, we investigated the neural coding of the songs' temporal features. We recorded neural activity from...
