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

Key points During the computation of sound localization, neurons of the lateral superior olive
(LSO) integrate synaptic excitation arising from the ipsilateral ear with inhibition from the …

Sound localization can be defined as the ability to identify the position of an input sound
source and is considered a powerful aspect of mammalian perception. For low frequency …

The mammalian auditory system is able to extract temporal and spectral features from sound
signals at the two ears. One important cue for localization of low-frequency sound sources in …

The lateral superior olive (LSO) is one of the earliest sites in the auditory pathway involved
in processing acoustical cues to sound location. LSO neurons encode the interaural level …

Sounds in the real world originate from specific sources, either alone or in combination, so
that a natural description of a sound includes its location and other spatial properties. The …

Interaural level difference (ILD) is one of the basic binaural clues in the spatial localization of
a sound source. Due to the acoustic shadow cast by the head, a sound source out of the …

Having two ears enables us to localize sound sources by exploiting interaural time
differences (ITDs) in sound arrival. Principal neurons of the medial superior olive (MSO) are …

Sound localisation is defined as the ability to identify the position of a sound source. The
brain employs two cues to achieve this functionality for the horizontal plane, interaural time …

Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) and lateral superior olive (LSO) of the auditory
brainstem code for sound-source location in the horizontal plane, extracting interaural time …
