[PDF][PDF] Stochastic model shows how cochlear implants process azimuth in real auditory space

M Drapal, P Marsalek - Chinese J Physiol, 2010 - cps.org.tw
Interaural time difference (ITD) is a major cue for sound azimuth localization at lower sound
frequencies. We review two theories of how the sound localization neural circuit works. One …

Modeling sound localization with cochlear implants

M Nicoletti, C Wirtz, W Hemmert - The technology of binaural listening, 2013 - Springer
This chapter describes a model framework for evaluating the precision of as to which
interaural time differences, ITD, are represented in the left-and right-ear auditory-nerve …

A unifying theory of ITD-based sound azimuth localization at the behavioral and neural levels

V Benichoux, M Stimberg, B Fontaine, R Brette - BMC Neuroscience, 2013 - Springer
In many species, azimuthal sound source localization relies on the processing of fine
temporal differences between the incoming signals at both ears (interaural time differences …

Plasticity in human directional hearing.

AR Javer, DW Schwarz - The Journal of otolaryngology, 1995 - europepmc.org
Interaural time difference (ITD), the main cue for localization of low-frequency sound in
azimuth, is widely thought to be evaluated according to Jeffress' model. This theory …

Adaptive sound localization with a silicon cochlea pair

VYS Chan, CT Jin, A Schaik - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2010 - frontiersin.org
A neuromorphic sound localization system is presented. It employs two microphones and a
pair of silicon cochleae with address event interface for front-end processing. The system is …

Sensitivity to interaural time differences with binaural implants: Is it in the brain?

J Tillein, P Hubka, A Kral - Cochlear implants international, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
Auditory localization is essential for orientation in the auditory space. It enhances auditory
discrimination by exploiting the spatial separation of the sound sources. In normal hearing …

Localization cues with bilateral cochlear implants

BU Seeber, H Fastl - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
