temporal coding

temporal coding Temporal coding is a way the auditory system represents sound by timing neural firing so that activity stays synchronized with changing features of the stimulus.

Temporal coding is a way the auditory system represents sound by timing neural firing so that activity stays synchronized with changing features of the stimulus. In the early auditory pathway, this timing-based representation can be preserved or converted into a firing-rate pattern that reflects temporal modulation without phase locking.
