Developmental fine-tuning of medial superior olive neurons mitigates their predisposition to contralateral sound sources.

PLoS Biology
Having two ears enables us to localize sound sources by exploiting interaural time differences (ITDs) in sound arrival. Principal neurons of the medial superior olive (MSO) are sensitive to ITD, and each MSO neuron responds optimally to a best ITD (bITD).

A Model for Interaural Time Difference Sensitivity in the Medial Superior Olive: Interaction of Excitatory and Inhibitory Synaptic Inputs, Channel Dynamics, and Cellular Morphology

Journal of Neuroscience, 2005
This study reports simulations of recent physiological results from the gerbil medial superior olive (MSO) that reveal that blocking glycinergic inhibition can shift the tuning for the interaural time difference (ITD) of the cell (Brand et al., 2002 ...

Temporal Fine-Structure Coding and Lateralized Speech Perception in Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Listeners

Trends in Hearing, 2016
This study investigated the relationship between speech perception performance in spatially complex, lateralized listening scenarios and temporal fine-structure (TFS) coding at low frequencies.

Directional Sensitivity of Echolocation System in Bats Producing Frequency-Modulated Signals [PDF]

, 1973
1. Radiation patterns of the 55, 75 and 95 kHz components in frequency-modulated sounds emitted by the grey bat (Myotis grisescens) were studied. FM sounds similar to species-specific orientation sounds were elicited by electrical stimuli applied to the ...

Real world sound localization by using the binaural model

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
In this study, we proposed a sound localization method by using the binaural model for a real environment, in which the reflected sound and background noise is present.

Auditory localization: a comprehensive practical review

Frontiers in Psychology
Auditory localization is a fundamental ability that allows to perceive the spatial location of a sound source in the environment. The present work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms and acoustic cues used by the human perceptual ...

Coherent Coding of Enhanced Interaural Cues Improves Sound Localization in Noise With Bilateral Cochlear Implants

Trends in Hearing, 2018
Bilateral cochlear implant (BCI) users only have very limited spatial hearing abilities. Speech coding strategies transmit interaural level differences (ILDs) but in a distorted manner.

Soma-Axon Coupling Configurations That Enhance Neuronal Coincidence Detection [PDF]

, 2019
Coincidence detector neurons transmit timing information by responding preferentially to concurrent synaptic inputs. Principal cells of the medial superior olive (MSO) in the mammalian auditory brainstem are superb coincidence detectors.

Subjective evaluation of an emerging theory of low-frequency sound source localization in closed acoustic spaces [PDF]

, 2014
An earlier reported theory of low-frequency sound-source localization within closed acoustic spaces proposed that virtual image acuity is strongly dependent on sufficient inter-arrival time between a direct sound and its first reflection.
