Bottom-up and top-down mechanisms of context effects during auditory scene analysis

Abstract

This project will use 1) behavior to identify context effects in segregation of mistuned harmonics and determine whether they arise from separate processes, 2) event-related potentials to study the neural basis of context effects in the auditory system, 3) functional magnetic resonance imaging to gain detailed spatial resolution of context effects in the brain, and 4) computational modeling to test the extent to which bottom-up and top-down mechanisms are involved in context effects.
