Abstract
Neural dynamics, or the neural behavior, of a cortical field has recently become one of the controversial matters related to the coding of sensory information, such as that of auditory, visual and somatosensory information in the mammalian cortex. Temporal neural coding such as dynamical neural assembly coding and dynamical population coding in the cortex have come to be considered much more important than was thought ten years ago (Buzsáki et al., eds. 1994), but despite extensive physiological study of the auditory cortex, we still do not know how complex sounds like natural sounds are encoded in the auditory cortex nor whether the specialized processing of vocal calls is carried out in the cortex (Pelleg-Toiba and Wollberg 1990, Wang et al. 1995, Eggermont 1995, McGee et al. 1996).
