Title
Frequency-specific attentional modulation in human primary auditory cortex and midbrain.
Abstract
Paying selective attention to an audio frequency selectively enhances activity within primary auditory cortex (PAC) at the tonotopic site (frequency channel) representing that frequency. Animal PAC neurons achieve this ‘frequency-specific attentional spotlight’ by adapting their frequency tuning, yet comparable evidence in humans is scarce. Moreover, whether the spotlight operates in human midbrain is unknown.
