Cross-Correlation in the Auditory Coincidence Detectors of Owls [PDF]
, 2008 Interaural time difference (ITD) plays a central role in many auditory functions, most importantly in sound localization. The classic model for how ITD is computed was put forth by Jeffress (1948). One of the predictions of the Jeffress model is that the

Development of Binaural Sensitivity: Eye Gaze as a Measure of Real-time Processing
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2020 Children localize sounds using binaural cues when navigating everyday auditory environments. While sensitivity to binaural cues reaches maturity by 8–10 years of age, large individual variability has been observed in the just-noticeable-difference (JND ...

Coding of auditory space [PDF]
, 2003 Behavioral, anatomical, and physiological approaches can be integrated in the study of sound localization in barn owls. Space representation in owls provides a useful example for discussion of place and ensemble coding. Selectivity for space is broad and

Interaural Time and Intensity Difference and the MLD [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1965 Masking-level differences (MLD) for a 600-cps low-pass transient were explored as a function of (1) interaural time difference (Δt; (2) interaural intensity difference (ΔI); and (3) combinations of Δt and ΔI. Masking-level difference here is the difference between two levels of coherent noise (N0), one required to mask a given condition of click, the ...

Time and intensity cues are processed independently in the auditory system of the owl [PDF]
, 1984 Space-specific neurons, found in the barn owl's inferior colliculus, respond selectively to a narrow range of interaural time and intensity differences. We show that injecting a local anesthetic into one cochlear nucleus, nucleus magnocellularis, alters ...

Spectral integration of interaural time differences in auditory localization [PDF]
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2013 This study investigates how the auditory system integrates spatial information across frequency. In experiment 1, discrimination thresholds for interaural time differences (ITDs) were measured as a function of both reference ITD and center frequency (CF) of noises with bandwidth of one ERB. In addition, discrimination thresholds were also measured as a
