On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract: In auditory cortex, temporal patterns within a sound can be represented by either a neuron’s discharge rate or spike timing. While previous work has provided a detailed description of how temporal and rate codes represent acoustic information, what determines whether a neuron is a “rate” or “temporal” coder remains unclear. In this talk I will describe how three basic features of neural circuits- inhibition, adaptation, and recurrent connections can provide a parsimonious explanation of the diverse types of neural codes observed in auditory cortex.
