摘要

While motion is important for parsing a complex auditory scene into perceptual objects, how it is encoded in the auditory system is unclear. Perceptual studies suggest that the ability to identify the direction of motion is limited by the duration of the moving sound, yet we can detect changes in interaural differences at even shorter durations. To understand the source of these distinct temporal limits, we recorded from single units in the inferior colliculus (IC) of unanesthetized rabbits in response to noise stimuli containing a brief segment with linearly time-varying interaural time difference ("ITD sweep") temporally embedded in interaurally uncorrelated noise. We also tested the ability of human listeners to either detect the ITD sweeps or identify the motion direction. Using a point-process model to separate the contributions of stimulus dependence and spiking history to single-neuron responses, we found that the neurons respond primarily by following the instantaneous ITD rather than exhibiting true direction selectivity. Furthermore, using an optimal classifier to decode the single-neuron responses, we found that neural threshold durations of ITD sweeps for both direction identification and detection overlapped with human threshold durations even though the average response of the neurons could track the instantaneous ITD beyond psychophysical limits. Our results suggest that the IC does not explicitly encode motion direction, but internal neural noise may limit the speed at which we can identify the direction of motion.
