Sensory Prediction in the Auditory Cortex during Vocal Production
The overall objective of this research is to understand the role of sensory prediction in the auditory cortex. The ability to predict the sensory consequences of one’s actions plays an important role in shaping sensory coding and guiding behavior. In the auditory system, this prediction is used during vocal production, allowing us to monitor feedback of the sound of our voice. However, the neural mechanisms of this auditory self-monitoring are unknown. This proposal focuses on determining the mechanisms and neural circuits by which sensory prediction changes sensory coding in the auditory cortex during vocalization, and the behavioral role played by such predictions. We approach this using…
