Auditory research has a rich history of combining experimental evidence with computational
simulations of auditory processing in order to deepen our theoretical understanding of how …

A rich history of comparative research in the auditory field has afforded a synthetic view of
sound information processing by ears and brains. Some organisms have proven to be …

The integration of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs is fundamental to neuronal
processing. In the mammalian auditory brainstem, neurons compare excitatory and …

The brainstem's lateral superior olive (LSO) is thought to be crucial for localizing high-
frequency sounds by coding interaural sound level differences (ILD). Its neurons weigh …

In mammals, localization of sound sources in azimuth depends on sensitivity to interaural
differences in sound timing (ITD) and level (ILD). Paradoxically, while typical ILD-sensitive …

Lateralization of complex high-frequency sounds is conveyed by interaural level differences
(ILDs) and interaural time differences (ITDs) in the envelope. In this work, the authors …

The binaural interaction component (BIC) of the auditory brainstem response is a
noninvasive electroencephalographic signature of neural processing of binaural sounds …

In computational biology, modeling is a fundamental tool for formulating, analyzing and
predicting complex phenomena. Most neuron models, however, are designed to reproduce …

Temporally, precise correlations between simultaneously recorded neurons have been
interpreted as signatures of cell assemblies, ie, groups of neurons that form processing …

Environmental noise and reverberation challenge speech understanding more significantly
in children than in adults. However, the neural/sensory basis for the difference is poorly …
