Sensitivity to interaural time differences in the medial superior olive of a small mammal, the Mexican free-tailed bat [PDF]
, 1998 Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) are thought to encode interaural time differences (ITDs), the main binaural cues used for localizing low-frequency sounds in the horizontal plane. The underlying mechanism is supposed to rely on a coincidence of

Hearing Loss: From Basic to Clinical Science
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.Abstract Hearing loss (HL) affects over 1.5 billion people globally, with genetic factors accounting for ≈50% of congenital cases. Therefore, HL has become a global health issue, driving extensive research from basic science to clinical applications. This Special Collection includes a total of 31 papers, among which 9 are review papers, 21 are research

Improving elevation perception with a tool for image-guided head-related transfer function selection [PDF]
, 2017 This paper proposes an image-guided HRTF selection procedure that exploits the relation between features of the pinna shape and HRTF notches. Using a 2D image of a subject's pinna, the procedure selects from a database the HRTF set that best fits the ...

The Neural Organization of Visual Information in the Auditory Cortex of the Congenitally Deaf
Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 2, February 1, 2026.Using fMRI and pRF modeling, we show that visual spatial information is represented in the auditory cortex of congenital deaf individuals through deactivation signals. These negative BOLD responses suggest a novel mechanism of cross‐modal plasticity.

The role of perceived source location in auditory stream segregation: separation affects sound organization, common fate does not [PDF]
, 2013 The human auditory system is capable of grouping sounds originating from different sound sources into coherent auditory streams, a process termed auditory stream segregation. Several cues can influence auditory stream segregation, but the full set of cues
