The eardrums move when the eyes move: A multisensory effect on the mechanics of hearing

KG Gruters, DLK Murphy, CD Jenson… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Interactions between sensory pathways such as the visual and auditory systems are known
to occur in the brain, but where they first occur is uncertain. Here, we show a multimodal …

Parametric information about eye movements is sent to the ears

SN Lovich, CD King, DLK Murphy… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Eye movements alter the relationship between the visual and auditory spatial scenes.
Signals related to eye movements affect neural pathways from the ear through auditory …

Detection of Spatially Localized Sounds Is Robust to Saccades and Concurrent Eye Movement-Related Eardrum Oscillations (EMREOs)

F Bröhl, C Kayser - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Hearing is an active process, and recent studies show that even the ear is affected by
cognitive states or motor actions. One example are movements of the eardrum induced by …

The moving minimum audible angle is smaller during self motion than during source motion

WO Brimijoin, MA Akeroyd - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
We are rarely perfectly still: our heads rotate in three axes and move in three dimensions,
constantly varying the spectral and binaural cues at the ear drums. In spite of this motion …

A quantitative study of auditory-evoked saccadic eye movements in two dimensions

MA Frens, AJ Van Opstal - Experimental Brain Research, 1995 - Springer
We investigated the properties of human saccadic eye movements evoked by acoustic
stimuli in the two-dimensional frontal plane. These movements proved to be quite accurate …

The vestibulo-auricular reflex

DJ Tollin, JL Ruhland, TCT Yin - Journal of …, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
The mammalian orienting response to sounds consists of a gaze shift that can be a
combination of head and eye movements. In animals with mobile pinnae, the ears also …

Right parietal cortex is involved in the perception of sound movement in humans

TD Griffiths, G Rees, A Rees, GGR Green… - Nature …, 1998 - nature.com
Abstract Changes in the delay (phase) and amplitude of sound at the ears are cues for the
analysis of sound movement. The detection of these cues depends on the convergence of …

Visual cortex responds to sound onset and offset during passive listening

D Brang, J Plass, A Sherman… - Journal of …, 2022 - journals.physiology.org
Sounds enhance our ability to detect, localize, and respond to co-occurring visual targets.
Research suggests that sounds improve visual processing by resetting the phase of ongoing …

Influence of head position on the spatial representation of acoustic targets

H Goossens, AJ Van Opstal - Journal of neurophysiology, 1999 - journals.physiology.org
Influence of head position on the spatial representation of acoustic targets. Sound
localization in humans relies on binaural differences (azimuth cues) and monaural spectral …

Sound-evoked vestibulo-ocular reflexes (VOR) in trained monkeys

W Zhou, W Mustain, I Simpson - Experimental brain research, 2004 - Springer
Acoustic stimulation of the vestibular system has been well documented in humans and has
been accepted as a useful tool to diagnose vestibular disorders. The goal of this study was …
