The fundamental perceptual unit in hearing is the'auditory object'. Similar to visual objects,
auditory objects are the computational result of the auditory system's capacity to detect …

Our concepts of sound localization in the vertebrate brain are widely based on the general
assumption that both the ability to detect air-borne sounds and the neuronal processing are …

Although the auditory cortex plays a necessary role in sound localization, physiological
investigations in the cortex reveal inhomogeneous sampling of auditory space that is difficult …

It is well known that many stimulus parameters, such as sound location in the auditory
system or contrast in the visual system, can modulate the timing of the first spike in sensory …

The timing of the first, and sometimes only, spike of auditory neurons evoked by an acoustic
stimulus depends on a variety of parameters. Recent studies have suggested that several of …

Humans and other animals use spatial hearing to rapidly localize events in the environment.
However, neural encoding of sound location is a complex process involving the computation …

The neural representation of meaningful stimulus features is thought to rely on precise
discharge characteristics of the auditory cortex. Precisely timed onset spikes putatively carry …

Localization of sound sources is a considerable computational challenge for the human
brain. Whereas the visual system can process basic spatial information in parallel, the …

Multisensory interactions are a fundamental feature of brain organization. Principles
governing multisensory processing have been established by varying stimulus location …

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 …
