DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nRegister for In-Person\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n
 \nHost: Robert Zatorre\n\n\nFrom Sound to Meaning: Neural Coding Principle
 s Underlying Speech and Music Perception\n\nAbstract: The ability to disti
 nguish speech from music is a hallmark of human auditory cognition\, yet t
 he neural principles supporting this distinction remain debated. Competing
  theories propose either specialized cortical networks dedicated to distin
 ct sound categories or a domain-general organization in which categorical 
 perception emerges from efficient coding of acoustic features. To support 
 the latter view\, a growing body of evidence suggests that the brain’s rep
 resentation of sounds can be understood in terms of spectrotemporal modula
 tions—joint variations in frequency and time that capture essential featur
 es of natural auditory scenes. By examining how the auditory cortex encode
 s these modulations\, our recent intracranial recordings reveal that patte
 rns of neural activity aligned with these features are sufficient to predi
 ct whether a sound is perceived as speech or music. This perspective suppo
 rts a domain-general framework in which the brain’s sensitivity to fundame
 ntal acoustic statistics gives rise to higher-order perceptual categories\
 , linking the physics of sound to the emergence of meaning.\n\nJérémie Gin

 ory\, The Neuro\, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ\n\nJérémie Ginzburg is a postdoctoral 
 researcher in the Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience laboratory at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ uni
 versity\, led by Prof. Zatorre. He previously achieved his PhD at the Cent
 re de Recherche en Neurosciences de Lyon (France)\, under the supervision 
 of Dr. Caclin\, where he studied behavioral and neurophysiological markers
  of verbal and musical cognition during child development. He is now study
 ing efficient neural coding of naturalistic complex sounds using intracran
 ial recordings and 7-Tesla fMRI.\n
