Episode 339 - Edward Bartlett, PhD

On October 15, 2026 we spoke with Dr. Edward Bartlett about how the auditory system detects and encodes rapid changes in sound amplitude essential for the detection of speech sounds. He explained the temporal sensitivity of single neurons in the upper brainstem auditory structures, the inferior colliculus and thalamus, which are essential for this process.
