Abstract
It is often thought that the central nervous system processes sensory information in a rather hierarchical manner. A good example would be the visual pathway, where input from essentially linear (simple) lower order cells is processed in a feed- forward manner to construct the non-linear response properties of V1 complex cells. Could this progression from simple (approximately linear) to complex (highly non-linear) be a general organising principle, which is equally applicable to other sensory systems? This notion has not yet been tested systematically in the auditory system. Here we propose to test this idea by recording, modelling and comparing neural spike data from several structures along the mammalian auditory pathway.
