Abstract

Central auditory neurons exhibit a preference for complex features, such as frequency modulation and pitch. This study shows that the stimulus preference for these features can be replicated by a network model trained to maximize information transmission from input to output. The network contains three layers: input, first-output, and second-output. The first-output-layer neurons exhibit auditory-nerve neuron-like preferences, and the second-output-layer neurons exhibit a stimulus preference similar to that of cochlear nucleus, medial geniculate, and auditory cortical neurons. The features detected by the second-output-layer neurons reflect the statistical properties of the sounds used as input.
