Interaural time differences (ITDs) represent an important cue in sound localization and
auditory scene analysis. To assess this cue the auditory system internally delays binaural …

Communication in the nervous system occurs by spikes: the timing precision with which
spikes are fired is a fundamental limit on neural information processing. In sensory systems …

The medial superior olive (MSO) is a binaural nucleus that is specialized in detecting the
relative arrival times of sounds at both ears. Excitatory inputs to its neurons originating from …

The robust representation of the environment from unreliable sensory cues is vital for the
efficient function of the brain. However, how the neural processing captures the most reliable …

'Auditory temporal processing'determines our understanding of speech, our appreciation of
music, our ability to localize a sound source, and even to listen to a person in a noisy crowd …

Interaural time differences (ITDs) are a major cue for sound localization and change with
increasing head size. Since the barn owl's head width more than doubles in the month after …

The binaural masking level difference (BMLD) is an auditory phenomenon where binaural
tone-in-noise detection is improved when the phase of either signal or noise is inverted in …

Axons from the nucleus magnocellularis form a presynaptic map of interaural time
differences (ITDs) in the nucleus laminaris (NL). These inputs generate a field potential that …

Extracellular field potentials (EFPs) are an important source of information in neuroscience,
but their physiological basis is in many cases still a matter of debate. Axonal sources are …

Extracellular field potentials (EFP) are widely used to evaluate in vivo neural activity, but
identification of multiple sources and their relative contributions is often ambiguous, making …
