Classification of the response properties of neurons according to functional grouping, the major contour versus texture grouping proposed by Eggermont (2001), and in terms of their potential roles in mediating auditory sound qualities important in human auditory perception

Functional group Contour/texture Perceptual quality
BB(F) and BB(M) Contour Rhythm
BB(S) Contour Timbre
WB Contour and texture Timbre
NB-T Contour and texture General
