My dissertation focuses on dyanamic state transitions and receptive field transformations in the mammalian auditory thalamocortical system. The long-term applied goals of our laboratory include improving hearing aids and cochlear implants for the hearing impaired. Stimulus-based state control in the thalamocortical system. Synchronous oscillations in the thalamocortical system and the effects of naturalistic ripple stimuli. Functional connectivity in the auditory thalamocortical system.
Naturalistic stimuli reveal contrast tuning in the cat auditory midbrain.
Synchrony in the auditory thalamocortical system of the cat, and its modulation with dynamic ripple stimulation. Functionally dynamic isofrequency and non-isofrequency convergence in cat auditory cortex.
