Auditory Nerve Stochasticity Impedes Category Learning: the Role of Cochlear Nucleus and Inferior Colliculus in Stabilising Auditory Nerve Firing
Irina Higgins, Simon Stringer, Jan Schnupp
This study shows that auditory nerve stochasticity hinders category learning, and subcortical preprocessing in the cochlear nucleus and inferior colliculus stabilizes firing patterns to enable efficient learning.
