The ability to determine the location of a sound source is fundamental to hearing. However,
auditory space is not represented in any systematic manner on the basilar membrane of the …

As an animal navigates its surroundings, the sounds reaching its two ears change in
waveform similarity (interaural correlation) and in time of arrival (interaural time difference …

This paper introduces the major phenomena of binaural hearing. The sounds arriving at the
two ears are rarely the same: usually one ear will be partially shadowed from the sound …

Objectives:(1) Measure sentence recognition in co-located and spatially separated target
and masker configurations in school-aged children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) and …

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 …

Binaural auditory neurons exhibit “best delays”(BDs): They are maximally activated at
certain acoustic delays between sounds at the two ears and thereby signal spatial sound …

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 …

This study assessed whether audiometrically-defined “slight” or “hidden” hearing losses
might be associated with degradations in binaural processing as measured in binaural …

Sound in noise is better detected or understood if target and masking sources originate from
different locations. Mammalian physiology suggests that the neurocomputational process …

Efficient coding of wideband audio has gained large interest during the last decades. With
the increasing popularity of mobile applications, internet and wireless communication …
