DESCRIPTION:The early auditory system decomposes incoming sounds into a col
 lection of sine waves with different frequencies. But we would not describ
 e our everyday experience of hearing sound as one of “perceiving frequenci
 es”. Rather\, we hear complex and behaviourally relevant sound features\, 
 such as reverberation\, timbre and pitch. Pitch is our perception of the t
 onal quality of sounds\, and plays key roles in our experience of speech a
 nd music. The neural underpinnings of pitch perception remain poorly under
 stood and heavily debated. I will discuss our electrophysiological\, behav
 ioural and 2-photon calcium imaging experiments in ferrets\, which offer i
 nsights into how populations of neurons in auditory cortex encode the pitc
 h of sound. I will discuss the extent to which well-known tonotopic maps o
 f sound frequency in the brain may contribute to pitch processing\, and th
 e open question of whether auditory cortex may contain a specialized pitch
  processing centre.\n\nThis seminar will be given online via Zoom. Details
  in attached poster.\n
