Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s #ColumbiaGivingDay. Your support allows us to maintain and expand important neuroscience research at a critical time. The funding raised from Giving Day will directly fuel our mission and the talented people who make it possible.
Today is #ColumbiaGivingDay! In a rapidly changing world, with shifts and uncertainty in research funding, it is now more important than ever to invest and support basic science and the talented people that make it happen.

Temporal integration in human auditory cortex is predominantly yoked to absolute time - Nature Neuroscience
Temporal integration throughout the human auditory cortex is predominantly locked to absolute time and does not vary with the duration of speech structures such as phonemes or words.
