The paper investigates how pitch and timbre of instrument sounds are represented in the inferior colliculus using extracellular recordings and decoding models.

The paper investigates how the inferior colliculus encodes tone-in-noise stimuli, finding that wideband TIN responses involve broad inhibition while narrowband responses depend on envelope fluctuations.

This study demonstrates that carbon fiber electrodes can record intracellular activity and stimulate neurons in intact nervous systems, offering a stable and scalable alternative to traditional methods.
