Organization of Excitatory and Inhibitory Receptive Fields of Cat
Posterior Auditory Field Neurons." Text was inadvertently omitted
after the fourth sentence of the section entitled SPECTROTEMPORAL RFS (page 477). The corrected paragraph,
with the missing text included, is presented
below.
SPECTROTEMPORAL
RFS. Spectrotemporal receptive
fields (STRFs) were constructed for each neuron. STRFs, representing
the average stimulus preceding each spike in the form of a
spectrograph, were constructed by a standard "reverse correlation"
algorithm that computed the average spectrograph preceding each action
potential (DeAngelis et al. 1993; deCharms et al. 1998a). By
convention, the STRF time axis is inverted so that the average stimulus
is represented in negative time and the time of each spike is defined
as zero. Portions of the average stimulus that precede the action
potential by a greater amount of time are found at more negative times.
We also computed STRFs as three-dimensional histograms where the
y-axis represents the frequency of 50 ms pure tone stimuli,
and the x-axis represents the time of action potentials
relative to tone onset. The color at each coordinate represents the
number of action potentials that responded to a particular frequency
with a particular latency. Since the time dimension represents the
spike time relative to stimulus onset, each action potential
contributes to only one point in this type of STRF plot. This STRF
analysis was used for Fig. 8 and Table 1. The temporal resolution of
the STRFs was 1 ms; the frequency resolution was the same as for the
pure-tone FRA because these tones were used to derive the STRF. Each
STRF was smoothed by a circular Gaussian (standard deviations: 2 ms along the time axis; dependent on the range and number of frequencies used along the frequency axis).
