Sustained firing of model central auditory neurons yields a discriminative spectro-temporal representation for natural sounds.

The processing characteristics of neurons in the central auditory system are directly shaped by and reflect the statistics of natural acoustic environments, but the principles that govern the relationship between natural sound ensembles and observed responses in neurophysiological studies remain unc...
