Abstract

In acute experiments on cats anesthetized with chloralose and nembutal interaction between visual, auditory, and electrodermal stimuli in neurons of the parietal association cortex was studied. Two types of interaction were found; the first characterized by inhibition or by inhibition followed by facilitation of the response to the test stimulus, the second by facilitation or by facilitation followed by inhibition of spontaneous impulses. Interaction between stimuli of different modalities was shown to depend on the properties of the neuron. In polysensory neurons ability to interact was much higher than in bimodal or monomodal neurons.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.
