The team found that approximately five percent of the neurons in
the higher auditory cortex reacted to the tutor song and that this could be indicative of where the early auditory memory is located in the brain.

Schlee's results suggest that the
higher regions of the brain send their own feedback to the
auditory cortex, amplifying its false signals.
«This allows us to search for what parts of the brain are generally activated by
auditory stimuli,» he says, «and to separate an
auditory field — for example [the] primary
auditory cortex from
higher auditory fields.»
By looking at activation of different brain regions while test subjects were exposed to different listening conditions, Dr. Johnsrude's research has revealed that the early processing of sound, which occurs in a brain region called the primary
auditory cortex, depends on
higher - level linguistic knowledge encoded in other regions of the brain.
Because the oscillatory profile determines the time constants with which speech is segmented, and the neural code presented to
higher order language brain regions due to temporally spike reorganization, functional isolation of
auditory cortex should strongly impair on - line speech decoding.
