In a typical auditory scene, a listener can focus auditory attention toward the location of any target. The dynamic nature of spatial listening has been demonstrated by psychophysical studies showing ...

Auditory brainstem processing underpins our ability to determine the location of sounds in space, a function that is essential for navigation, communication, and environmental awareness. At the heart ...

Prof. Emeritus Robert A. Butler, whose research focused on hearing—particularly involving the localization of sound and auditory perception—died Feb. 5 after a brief illness. He was 98 years old.

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series C (Applied Statistics), Vol. 62, No. 4 (AUGUST 2013), pp. 515-534 (20 pages) Auditory localization experiments are conducted to evaluate human ability ...

In the ventriloquism aftereffect, brief exposure to a consistent spatial disparity between auditory and visual stimuli leads to a subsequent shift in subjective sound localization toward the positions ...

Oligodendrocytes with different morphological features work together to support precise binaural integration for sound localization in the chick brainstem auditory circuit.

Humans can estimate distances to sound sources better when they move and exploit auditory motion parallax. The ability to estimate distances to sound sources accurately can be crucial for survival. A ...

In the mammalian auditory system, sound waves impinging on the tympanic membrane of the ear are transduced into electrical signals by sensory hair cells and transmitted via the auditory nerve to the ...

Auditory Localization It is well known that the ability to determine the direction of sound depends on having two ears. But how does the brain use the information from the ears to make the ...
