Localization of sound sources is a central aspect of auditory processing. A unique feature of
mammals is the smooth, tonotopically organized extension of the hearing range to high …

Acoustic playback is commonly used to study wild birds, with applications as diverse as
investigating behaviours, ascertaining the presence of rare and elusive species, and …

The mechanisms of sound localization are actively debated, especially which cues are
predominately used and why. Our study provides behavioural data in chickens (Gallus …

The large size and electromagnetic interference of microphone arrays are long standing
challenges for sound source localization. Here, an all-fibre vector acoustic sensor based on …

Sound localization is crucial for the survival and reproduction of animals, including non-
auditory specialist animals such as the majority of avian species. The chicken (Gallus gallus) …

The sound localization behavior of the nocturnally hunting barn owl and its underlying
neural computations is a textbook example of neuroethology. Differences in sound timing …

Processing multimodal sensory information is vital for behaving animals in many contexts.
The barn owl, an auditory specialist, is a classic model for studying multisensory integration …

The optic tectum (OT) is an avian midbrain structure involved in the integration of visual and
auditory stimuli. Studies in the barn owl, an auditory specialist, have shown that spatial …

At first sight, echolocating bats face a difficult trade-off. As flying animals, they would benefit
from a streamlined geometric shape to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase flight …

The auditory midbrain is the location in which neurons represent binaural acoustic
information necessary for sound localization. The external nucleus of the midbrain inferior …
