The ability to determine the location of a sound source is fundamental to hearing. However,
auditory space is not represented in any systematic manner on the basilar membrane of the …

Joris, PX, CE Schreiner, and A. Rees. Neural Processing of Amplitude-Modulated Sounds.
Physiol Rev 84: 541–577, 2004; 10.1152/physrev. 00029.2003.—Amplitude modulation …

The shapes of the head and ears of mammals are asymmetrical top-to-bottom and front-to-
back. Reflections of sounds from these structures differ with the angle of incidence …

Sound location in azimuth is signaled by differences in the times of arrival (interaural time
difference, ITDs) and the amplitudes (interaural level differences, ILDs) of the stimuli at the …

Our concepts of sound localization in the vertebrate brain are widely based on the general
assumption that both the ability to detect air-borne sounds and the neuronal processing are …

There is a new trend in the education of audiologists that emphasizes the basics of hearing--
Hearing: Its Physiology and Pathophysiology addresses this trend. It covers not only the …

Monaurally deaf people lack the binaural acoustic difference cues in sound level and timing
that are needed to encode sound location in the horizontal plane (azimuth). It has been …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: The goal of this study is to ascertain worldwide experience
with bilateral cochlear implantation (BCI) with regard to patient demographics, trends in …

Spatial hearing skills are essential for children as they grow, learn and play. These skills
provide critical cues for determining the locations of sources in the environment, and enable …

Humans and other animals use spatial hearing to rapidly localize events in the environment.
However, neural encoding of sound location is a complex process involving the computation …
