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 …

Time provides a fundamental dimension for perceiving sounds (Viemeister & Plack 1993;
Eddins & Green 1995; Phillips 2012). Temporal processing is essential for the detection of …

Humans show a very robust ability to localize sounds in adverse conditions. Computational
models of binaural sound localization and technical approaches of direction-of-arrival (DOA) …

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 …

Deaf people who use cochlear implants show surprisingly poor sensitivity to the temporal
fine structure of sounds. One possible reason is that conventional cochlear implants cannot …

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 …

Human speech primarily contains low frequencies. It is well established that such
frequencies maximally excite the cochlea near its apex. But, the micromechanics that …

The location and motion of sounds in space are important cues for encoding the auditory
world. Spatial processing is a core component of auditory scene analysis, a cognitively …

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

The medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) receives excitatory input from giant
presynaptic terminals, the calyces of Held. The MNTB functions as a sign inverter giving …
