Sound location in azimuth is signaled by differences in the times of arrival (interaural time
difference, ITDs) and the amplitudes (interaural level differences, ILDs) of the stimuli at the …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the psychophysical evidence for the role of
spectral cues in sound localization and the manner in which they are combined with the …

The role of the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) in directional hearing was evaluated by
measuring sound localization behaviors before and after cats received lesions of the dorsal …

The head-related transfer function (HRTF) of the cat adds directionally dependent energy
minima to the amplitude spectrum of complex sounds. These spectral notches are a …

At the level of the cochlear nucleus (CN), the auditory pathway divides into several parallel
circuits, each of which provides a different representation of the acoustic signal. Here, the …

Listeners show systematic errors in vertical-plane localization of wide-band sounds when
tested with brief-duration stimuli at high intensities, but long-duration sounds at any …

Sound localization is known to be a complex phenomenon, combining multisensory
information processing, experience-dependent plasticity, and movement. Here we present a …

ventral cochlear nucleus of the cat: effects of level, background noise, and behavioral state …

The lateral superior olive (LSO) is one of the earliest sites in the auditory pathway that is
involved in processing acoustical cues to sound location. Here, we tested the hypothesis …

Listeners use monaural spectral cues to localize sound sources in sagittal planes (along the
up-down and front-back directions). How sensorineural hearing loss affects the salience of …
