A hierarchical sparse coding model predicts acoustic feature encoding in both auditory midbrain and cortex.

The auditory pathway consists of multiple stages, from the cochlear nucleus to the auditory cortex. Neurons acting at different stages have different functions and exhibit different response properties. It is unclear whether these stages share a common encoding mechanism. We trained an unsupervised...
