Modelling neural coding in the auditory midbrain with high resolution and accuracy.

ABSTRACT: Computational models of auditory processing can be valuable tools for research and technology development. Models of the cochlea are highly accurate and widely used, but models of the auditory brain lag far behind in both performance and penetration. Here we present ICNet, a convolutional encoder-decoder model of neural coding in the inferior colliculus. We developed ICNet using large-scale intracranial recordings from anaesthetized gerbils, addressing three key modelling challenges that are common across all sensory systems: capturing the full statistical structure of neuronal response patterns; accounting for physiological and experimental non-stationarity; and extracting features of sensory processing that are shared across different brains. ICNet provides highly accurate simulation of
