Abstract: Few studies have examined the physiology of the auditory cortical processing streams in the context of information transfer among cortical areas. This study examines information transfer in two cortical areas in the ventral auditory processing stream in an awake macaque. We show conditional information examined over different durations of neural responses provides insight into the time scale and direction of cortical hierarchical processing.
