What is auditory mapping?

In auditory cortex, auditory field maps (AFMs) are defined by the combination of tonotopic gradients, representing the spectral aspects of sound (i.e., tones), with orthogonal periodotopic gradients, representing the temporal aspects of sound (i.e., period or temporal envelope).

What is receptive field CNN?

So what actually is the receptive field of a convolutional neural network? Formally, it is the region in the input space that a particular CNN's feature is affected by. More informally, it is the part of a tensor that after convolution results in a feature.

How does the size of the receptive field influence sensitivity?

Large receptive fields allow the cell to detect changes over a wider area, but lead to a less precise perception.

What is the receptive field?

Receptive field: A specific region of sensory space in which an appropriate stimulus can drive an electrical response in a sensory neuron.
