... EEG: Scalp electrodes. Very small potentials when neurons are active. But because there are a lot of neurons and because neighboring neurons frequently are active close together in time we can pick up signal. ERP: time-locking the recording of the EEG to the onset of events (such as a person reading ...

Invariant selectivity of auditory neurons due to predictive coding
... Spectro-temporal receptive field (STRF) is the interpretation of auditory neurons as linear filters 1. We propose that auditory neurons are predictors rather than filters of their input and we hypothesize that they have a "true selectivity" independent of stimulus context 2. ...
