Rostro-caudal networks for sound processing in the primate brain

Abstract

Sound is processed in primate brains along anatomically and functionally distinct streams: this pattern can be seen in both human and non-human primates. We have previously proposed a general auditory processing framework in which these different perceptual profiles are associated with different computational characteristics. In this paper we consider how recent work supports our framework.
