Talk:Spectro-temporal receptive field

Spatio- vs Spectro-
I believe there is a major error in this article. STRFs in the auditory system typically refer to spectrotemporal receptive fields, NOT spatiotemporal receptive fields, as the receptive field for a neuron responding to auditory stimuli would have an auditory frequency component along with its temporal component.

This is even mentioned in the figure, which is of a spectrotemporal RF. Sirshane13 03:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Sirshane. I only know spatiotemporal receptive fields in the context of the visual processing of apparent motion. These receptive fields are thought to perform a convolution of spatial and temporal input into spatiotemporal energy... . In principle however it might also be possible that spatiotemporal receptive fields exist in the auditory modality. However even if these should exist, the visual ones would have to be mentioned first, because the visual modality is definitively the most important source of motion perception. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.89.159.187 (talk) 23:00, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
