以色列耶路撒冷希伯来大学ELSC脑研究中心主任 Director of the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
教授 Professor
Prof Israel Nelken is a world acknowledged, highly influential specialist in auditory physiology who has spent years of focus on the study of information processing in the auditory system and has been the Director of the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences since 2017, which is one of the top facilities for brain sciences in Israel and Europe, specializing in combining theoretical, biological and computational approaches to decipher the information processing mechanisms of the brain.
报告题目:
The auditory cortex: auditory and non-auditory activity
报告摘要:
The auditory system is composed of a complex network of subcortical and cortical areas, connected by feedforward and feedback connections. While processing in early stages of the auditory system is largely determined by the initial sensory representations generated in the inner ear, higher stations of the auditory system show activity that is strongly related to behavior and to the behavioral context in which sounds occur. I will illustrate this using two case studies: the first is the emergence of neurons that respond to a complex sound, but not to its components, when this sound becomes behaviorally-relevant; and the second is the emergence of 'time neurons' that encode time within the behavioral trial, rather than (or in addition to) the identify of incoming sounds, in rats trained to perform a self-initiated task in a naturalistic environment.
