An investigation of the interaural time difference threshold for speech [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1978 The interaural time difference threshold for speech has been reported to be approximately 35 μsec (Cherry & Sayers, 1956), a value substantially larger than the 6 ~sec reported for broadband noise signals by other experimenters (e.g., Tobias & Zerlin, 1959).

Adjustment of Interaural-Time-Difference Analysis to Sound Level [PDF]
, 2010 To localize low-frequency sound sources in azimuth, the binaural system compares the timing of sound waves at the two ears with microsecond precision. A similarly high precision is also seen in the binaural processing of the envelopes of high-frequency complex sounds.

Frequency-Invariant Representation of Interaural Time Differences in Mammals [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2011 Interaural time differences (ITDs) are the major cue for localizing low-frequency sounds. The activity of neuronal populations in the brainstem encodes ITDs with an exquisite temporal acuity of about 10 μs. The response of single neurons, however, also changes with other stimulus properties like the spectral composition of sound.

Anatomical limits on interaural time differences: An ecological perspective [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 Human listeners, and other animals too, use interaural time differences (ITD)to localize sounds. If the sounds are pure tones, a simple frequency factorrelates the ITD to the interaural phase difference (IPD), for which there areknown iso-IPD boundaries,

Change in the coding of interaural time difference along the tonotopic axis of the chicken nucleus laminaris [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015 Interaural time differences (ITDs) are an important cue for the localization of sounds in azimuthal space. Both birds and mammals have specialized, tonotopically-organized nuclei in the brain stem for the processing of ITD: medial superior olive (MSO) in

A Bayesian computational basis for auditory selective attention using head rotation and the interaural time-difference cue. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The process of resolving mixtures of several sounds into their separate individual streams is known as auditory scene analysis and it remains a challenging task for computational systems.

An adaptable ellipsoidal head model for the interaural time difference [PDF]
1999 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing. Proceedings. ICASSP99 (Cat. No.99CH36258), 1999 Experimentally measured head-related transfer functions reveal that the interaural time delay varies from person to person. Furthermore, it is not constant around a cone of confusion, but can vary by as much as 18% of the maximum interaural delay. The major sources for this variation are shown to be the shape of the head and the displacement of the ...

Adaptation in sound localization processing induced by interaural time difference in amplitude envelope at high frequencies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: When a second sound follows a long first sound, its location appears to be perceived away from the first one (the localization/lateralization aftereffect).

Reliability of Interaural Time Difference-Based Localization Training in Elderly Individuals with Speech-in-Noise Perception Disorder [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017 Background: Previous studies have shown that interaural-time-difference (ITD) training can improve localization ability. Surprisingly little is, however, known about localization training vis-à-vis speech perception in noise based on interaural time ...
