The ability to use cues from multiple senses in concert is a fundamental aspect of brain
function. It maximizes the brain's use of the information available to it at any given moment …

Although much traditional sensory research has studied each sensory modality in isolation,
there has been a recent explosion of interest in causal interplay between different senses …

Recent studies, conducted almost exclusively in primates, have shown that several cortical
areas usually associated with modality-specific sensory processing are subject to influences …

Accurate auditory localization relies on neural computations based on spatial cues present
in the sound waves at each ear. The values of these cues depend on the size, shape, and …

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 …

The auditory cortex is critical for perceiving a sound's location. However, there is no
topographic representation of acoustic space, and individual auditory cortical neurons are …

Plasticity of vision mediated through binocular interactions has been reported in mammals
only during a “critical” period in juvenile life, wherein monocular deprivation (MD) causes an …

Inactivation experiments in auditory cortex (AC) produce widely varying results that
complicate interpretations regarding the precise role of AC in auditory perception and …

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 …

Is sound location represented in the auditory cortex of humans and monkeys? Human
neuroimaging experiments have had only mixed success at demonstrating sound location …
