Professor Song will also talk about his work on auditory information processing.
Functional specialization of auditory cortidal subfields

Like the visual cortes, the auditory cortex has many subfields. In contract fo the visual cortex, the role of each subfield, or the functional specialization of the subfield, in th auditory cortex is unknown. Using real-time opticl imaging techniques, our labortor has made some contribution to the parcellation of auditory cortex into subfields, in a number of species. Current model of the auditory cortex proposes that the auditory cortex has a core region surrounded by a belt region; each region has several svbfields. In this seminar, I will present our recent evidence on the functional specialization of subfields in the core region
