Binaural beat salience [PDF]

Hearing Research, 2012
Previous studies of binaural beats have noted individual variability and response lability, but little attention has been paid to the salience of the binaural beat percept. The purpose of this study was to gauge the strength of the binaural beat percept by matching its salience to that of sinusoidal amplitude modulation (SAM), and to then compare rate ...

Localization performance of cochlear implant users with a real-time bilaterally-synchronized sound coding strategy that provides explicit interaural timing cues with mixed rates of stimulation

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionBilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs) do not restore sound localization abilities to the full extent exhibited by typical hearing (TH) listeners, partly due to poor encoding of interaural time differences (ITDs). ITD cues have been provided and

Sound-by-sound thalamic stimulation modulates midbrain auditory excitability and relative binaural sensitivity in frogs

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
Descending circuitry can modulate auditory processing, biasing sensitivity to particular stimulus parameters and locations. Using awake in vivo single unit recordings, this study tested whether electrical stimulation of the thalamus modulates auditory ...

Low-Intensity Steady Background Noise Enhances Pitch Fusion Across the Ears in Normal-Hearing Listeners

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Binaural pitch fusion is the perceptual integration of stimuli that evoke different pitches between the ears into a single auditory image. This study was designed to investigate how steady background noise can influence binaural pitch fusion.

Relationship between early musical training and detection of binaural gap based on interaural correlation change

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionThe auditory fusion of binaural sounds and the perceived auditory image are determined by the similarities of the sounds at the two ears. Sensitivity to the change in interaural correlation, a measure of interaural similarity, is crucial to ...

Frequency response areas in the inferior colliculus: nonlinearity and binaural interaction

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
The tuning, binaural properties, and encoding characteristics of neurons in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (CNIC) were investigated to shed light on nonlinearities in the responses of these neurons.

Unilateral Conductive Hearing Loss Disrupts the Developmental Refinement of Binaural Processing in the Rat Primary Auditory Cortex

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Binaural hearing is critically important for the perception of sound spatial locations. The primary auditory cortex (AI) has been demonstrated to be necessary for sound localization. However, after hearing onset, how the processing of binaural cues by AI

A Perceptual Evaluation of Individual and Non-Individual HRTFs: A Case Study of the SADIE II Database

Applied Sciences, 2018
As binaural audio continues to permeate immersive technologies, it is vital to develop a detailed understanding of the perceptual relevance of HRTFs. Previous research has explored the benefit of individual HRTFs with respect to localisation.

Binaural and cochlear disparities [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
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 location. BDs arise from delays internal to the auditory system, but their source is controversial.

Relating age and hearing loss to monaural, bilateral, and binaural temporal sensitivity

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
Older listeners are more likely than younger listeners to have difficulties in making temporal discriminations among auditory stimuli presented to one or both ears.
