In early tetrapods, it is assumed that the tympana were acoustically coupled through the
pharynx and therefore inherently directional, acting as pressure difference receivers. The …

Temporal models of pitch and harmonic segregation call for delays of up to 30 ms to cover
the full range of existence of musical pitch. To date there is little anatomical or physiological …

Background When sound arrives at the eardrum it has already been filtered by the body,
head, and outer ear. This process is mathematically described by the head-related transfer …

Interaural time differences are an important cue for azimuthal sound localization. It is still
unclear whether the same neuronal mechanisms underlie the representation in the brain of …

Data are reported from a population of untrained individuals under lag-and single-click
conditions in a discrimination suppression precedence-effect task. The cue to be …

In birds and mammals, precisely timed spikes encode the timing of acoustic stimuli, and
interaural acoustic disparities propagate to binaural processing centers. The Jeffress model …

Interaural time and intensity differences (ITD and IID) are important cues in binaural hearing
and allow for sound localization, improving speech understanding in noise and …

The study aimed to design and then build a test station to measure the characteristics of
headphones, where the effect of different acoustic materials used for filling the acoustic …

The auditory systems of humans and many other species use the difference in the time of
arrival of acoustic signals at the two ears to compute the lateral position of sound sources …

A digital signal-processing (DSP) technique for rapid generation of complex auditory motion
stimuli based on dynamic linear changes in interaural delay is described. In this technique, a …
