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 …

Spatial hearing, and more specifically the ability to localize sounds in space, is one of the
most studied and best understood aspects of hearing. Because there is no coding of …

Sound localization critically depends on detection of differences in arrival time of sounds at
the two ears (acoustic delay). The fundamental mechanisms are debated, but all proposals …

Precise timing of synaptic inputs is a fundamental principle of neural circuit processing. The
temporal precision of postsynaptic input integration is known to vary with the computational …

Many mammals, including humans, are exquisitely sensitive to tiny time differences between
sounds at the two ears. These interaural time differences are an important source of …

Developing an energy‐efficient artificial sensory system is of great significance for
neuroprosthesis, neurorobotics, and intelligent human–machine interfaces. Inspired by the …

The trapezoid body (TB) contains axons of neurons residing in the anteroventral cochlear
nucleus (AVCN) that provide excitatory and inhibitory inputs to the main monaural and …

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

Inhibition plays a crucial role in neural signal processing, shaping and limiting responses. In
the auditory system, inhibition already modulates second order neurons in the cochlear …

Many sensory neurons encode temporal information by detecting coincident arrivals of
synaptic inputs. In the mammalian auditory brainstem, binaural neurons of the medial …
