Sound externalization, or the perception that a sound source is outside of the head, is an
intriguing phenomenon that has long interested psychoacousticians. While previous reviews …

The growing availability of efficient and relatively inexpensive virtual auditory display
technology has provided new research platforms to explore the perception of auditory …

Researchers in the field of active perception study how sensory processes coalesce with
motor actions to extract information from the world. Such actions intrinsically alter perceptual …

Background When stimuli are presented over headphones, they are typically perceived as
internalized; ie, they appear to emanate from inside the head. Sounds presented in the free …

Natural listening involves a constant deployment of small head movement. Spatial listening
is facilitated by head movements, especially when resolving front-back confusions, an …

Objectives: We assessed if spatial hearing training improves sound localization in bilateral
cochlear implant (BCI) users and whether its benefits can generalize to untrained sound …

Localising sounds means having the ability to process auditory cues deriving from the
interplay among sound waves, the head and the ears. When auditory cues change because …

Localizing a sound source requires the auditory system to determine its direction and its
distance. In general, hearing-impaired listeners do less well in experiments measuring …

A key function of the brain is to provide a stable representation of an object's location in the
world. In hearing, sound azimuth and elevation are encoded by neurons throughout the …

Acoustic sensitivity of the vestibular apparatus is well-established, but the contribution of
vestibular receptors to the late auditory evoked potentials of cortical origin is unknown …
