Cortical mechanisms of spatial hearing

K van der Heijden, JP Rauschecker… - Nature Reviews …, 2019 - nature.com
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Recent advances in understanding the auditory cortex

AJ King, S Teki, BDB Willmore - F1000Research, 2018 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Our ability to make sense of the auditory world results from neural processing that begins in
the ear, goes through multiple subcortical areas, and continues in the cortex. The specific …

[HTML][HTML] Many but not all deep neural network audio models capture brain responses and exhibit correspondence between model stages and brain regions

G Tuckute, J Feather, D Boebinger, JH McDermott - Plos Biology, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Models that predict brain responses to stimuli provide one measure of understanding of a
sensory system and have many potential applications in science and engineering. Deep …

[HTML][HTML] Where is the cocktail party? Decoding locations of attended and unattended moving sound sources using EEG

A Bednar, EC Lalor - NeuroImage, 2020 - Elsevier
Recently, we showed that in a simple acoustic scene with one sound source, auditory cortex
tracks the time-varying location of a continuously moving sound. Specifically, we found that …

How aging impacts the encoding of binaural cues and the perception of auditory space

AC Eddins, EJ Ozmeral, DA Eddins - Hearing research, 2018 - Elsevier
Over the years, the effect of aging on auditory function has been investigated in animal
models and humans in an effort to characterize age-related changes in both perception and …

Evidence for cue-independent spatial representation in the human auditory cortex during active listening

NC Higgins, SA McLaughlin… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Few auditory functions are as important or as universal as the capacity for auditory spatial
awareness (eg, sound localization). That ability relies on sensitivity to acoustical cues …

Neural tracking of auditory motion is reflected by delta phase and alpha power of EEG

A Bednar, EC Lalor - NeuroImage, 2018 - Elsevier
It is of increasing practical interest to be able to decode the spatial characteristics of an
auditory scene from electrophysiological signals. However, the cortical representation of …

Active sound localization sharpens spatial tuning in human primary auditory cortex

K van der Heijden, JP Rauschecker… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Spatial hearing sensitivity in humans is dynamic and task-dependent, but the mechanisms in
human auditory cortex that enable dynamic sound location encoding remain unclear. Using …

[HTML][HTML] Widespread and opponent fMRI signals represent sound location in macaque auditory cortex

M Ortiz-Rios, FAC Azevedo, P Kuśmierek, DZ Balla… - Neuron, 2017 - cell.com
In primates, posterior auditory cortical areas are thought to be part of a dorsal auditory
pathway that processes spatial information. But how posterior (and other) auditory areas …

Left frontal eye field encodes sound locations during passive listening
