Population Coding of Interaural Time Differences in Gerbils and Barn Owls [PDF]
, 2010 Interaural time differences (ITDs) are the primary cue for the localization of low-frequency sound sources in the azimuthal plane. For decades, it was assumed that the coding of ITDs in the mammalian brain was similar to that in the avian brain, where ...
