Understanding Auditory Spectro-Temporal Receptive Fields and Their Changes with Input Statistics by Efficient Coding Principles
Figure 1
A schematic example of a typical spectro-temporal receptive field, plotted with a reversed abscissa.
This STRF has one excitatory and three inhibitory regions, prefers frequency , and evokes response at a typical latency
. Since the response at time
is
, an input stimulus
exactly as depicted in this plot is most likely to elicit a large response
at time
, or indeed a spike.
