A number of auditory models have been developed using diverging approaches, either
physiological or perceptual, but they share comparable stages of signal processing, as they …

The perceived azimuth of a target sound is determined by the interaural time difference and
the interaural level difference (ILD) and is subject to contextual effects from precursor …

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) greatly improve spatial hearing acuity for CI users, but
substantial gaps still exist compared to normal-hearing listeners. For example, CI users have …

The ability to localize a sound source in complex environments is essential for
communication and navigation. Spatial hearing relies predominantly on the comparison of …

Interaural time difference (ITD) sensitivity with cochlear implant stimulation is remarkably
similar to envelope ITD sensitivity using conventional acoustic stimulation. This holds true for …

Neurons of the lateral superior olive (LSO) in the auditory brainstem play a fundamental role
in binaural sound localization. Previous theoretical studies developed various types of …

Computational modeling has a central role in understanding the mechanisms behind
experimental observations. This chapter describes how models of binaural processing are …

Cochlear implant (CI) recipients with preserved acoustic low-frequency hearing in the
implanted ear are a growing group among traditional CI users who benefit from hybrid …

Sound localization relies on minute differences in the timing and intensity of sound arriving
at both ears. Neurons of the lateral superior olive (LSO) in the brainstem process these …

Auditory perception involves cues in the monaural auditory pathways as well as binaural
cues based on differences between the ears. So far auditory models have often focused on …
