Mechanisms of sound localization in mammals

B Grothe, M Pecka, D McAlpine - Physiological reviews, 2010‏ - journals.physiology.org
The ability to determine the location of a sound source is fundamental to hearing. However,
auditory space is not represented in any systematic manner on the basilar membrane of the …

[PDF][PDF] Neural mechanisms of binaural processing in the auditory brainstem

TCT Yin, PH Smith, PX Joris - Compr Physiol, 2019‏ - researchgate.net
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 …

Correlation index: a new metric to quantify temporal coding

PX Joris, DH Louage, L Cardoen, M van der Heijden - Hearing research, 2006‏ - Elsevier
The standard procedure to study temporal encoding of sound waveforms in the auditory
system has been Fourier analysis of responses to periodic stimuli. We introduce a new …

Binaural and cochlear disparities

PX Joris, B Van de Sande, DH Louage… - Proceedings of the …, 2006‏ - pnas.org
Binaural auditory neurons exhibit “best delays”(BDs): They are maximally activated at
certain acoustic delays between sounds at the two ears and thereby signal spatial sound …

Binaural hearing, sound localization, and spatial hearing

GC Stecker, FJ Gallun - Translational perspectives in auditory …, 2012‏ - books.google.com
The ability of listeners to localize sound sources has been a subject of great interest to
natural philosophers, physicists, and physiologists (and later to psychophysicists and …

Auditory abstraction from spectro-temporal features to coding auditory entities

G Chechik, I Nelken - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012‏ - pnas.org
The auditory system extracts behaviorally relevant information from acoustic stimuli. The
average activity in auditory cortex is known to be sensitive to spectro-temporal patterns in …

Coincidence detection in the medial superior olive: mechanistic implications of an analysis of input spiking patterns

TP Franken, P Bremen, PX Joris - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2014‏ - frontiersin.org
Coincidence detection by binaural neurons in the medial superior olive underlies sensitivity
to interaural time difference (ITD) and interaural correlation (ρ). It is unclear whether this …

Axonal recordings from medial superior olive neurons obtained from the lateral lemniscus of the chinchilla (Chinchilla laniger)

P Bremen, PX Joris - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013‏ - jneurosci.org
Interaural time differences (ITDs) are a major cue for localizing low-frequency (< 1.5 kHz)
sounds. Sensitivity to this cue first occurs in the medial superior olive (MSO), which is …

Auditory midbrain and nerve responses to sinusoidal variations in interaural correlation

PX Joris, B van de Sande, A Recio-Spinoso… - Journal of …, 2006‏ - jneurosci.org
The human sensitivity to interaural temporal differences in the acoustic waveforms to the two
ears shows remarkable acuity but is also very sluggish. Fast changes in binaural parameters …

Temporal properties of responses to sound in the ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus

A Recio-Spinoso, PX Joris - Journal of Neurophysiology, 2014‏ - journals.physiology.org
Besides the rapid fluctuations in pressure that constitute the “fine structure” of a sound
stimulus, slower fluctuations in the sound's envelope represent an important temporal …
