Distinct neural ensemble response statistics are associated with recognition and discrimination of natural sound textures

The paper shows that distinct neural response statistics in the auditory system encode sound texture features for recognition and discrimination, with fast spectrum-based discrimination and slow correlation-based recognition.

Spiking network optimized for noise robust word recognition approaches human-level performance and predicts auditory system hierarchy

A hierarchical spiking neural network achieves near human-level noise robust word recognition and mirrors properties of the auditory pathway.
