2.06 - Entrainment in Human Auditory Cortex: Mechanism and Functions

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Auditory entrainment is a fundamental neural mechanism subserving auditory perception. It has been deployed to study a wide range of problems in temporal processing. We examine the concept of entrainment, compare it to similar phenomena, and then take a systemic view, examining the functional roles of auditory entrainment at the cortical level. We aim to chart future directions of research, hoping to stimulate a transition from using the auditory entrainment as a toolkit to understanding its computations and functions.
