Models optimized for real-world tasks reveal the task-dependent necessity of precise temporal coding in hearing

Abstract Neurons encode information in the timing of their spikes in addition to their firing rates. Spike timing is particularly precise in the auditory nerve, where action potentials phase lock to sound with sub-millisecond precision, but its behavioral relevance remains uncertain. We optimized ma...
