The auditory system of female crickets allows them to specifically recognize and approach
the species-specific male calling song, defined by sound pulses and silent intervals …

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 …

The ability to localize a sound source in complex environments is essential for
communication and navigation. Spatial hearing relies predominantly on the comparison of …

Interaural time difference (ITD) sensitivity with cochlear implant stimulation is remarkably
similar to envelope ITD sensitivity using conventional acoustic stimulation. This holds true for …

The auditory brain stem response (ABR) is an evoked potential that indexes a cascade of
neural events elicited by sound. In the present study we evaluated the influence of sound …

Neurons of the lateral superior olive (LSO) in the auditory brainstem play a fundamental role
in binaural sound localization. Previous theoretical studies developed various types of …

Two of the cues to sound source location in azimuth are the interaural difference in level
(ILD) and time (ITD). ILDs result from the frequency-and direction-dependent modifications …

Spatial hearing remains one of the major challenges for bilateral cochlear implant (biCI)
users, and early deaf patients in particular are often completely insensitive to interaural time …

Computational modeling has a central role in understanding the mechanisms behind
experimental observations. This chapter describes how models of binaural processing are …
