Sound-by-sound thalamic stimulation modulates midbrain auditory excitability and relative binaural sensitivity in frogs
Descending circuitry can modulate auditory processing, biasing sensitivity to particular stimulus parameters and locations. Using awake in vivo single unit recordings, this study tested whether electrical stimulation of the thalamus modulates auditory excitability and relative binaural sensitivity in neurons of the amphibian midbrain. In addition, by using electrical stimuli that were either lo...
متن کاملEvaluating spatial sound with binaural auditory model
Directional qualities of spatial sound systems are studied with a binaural model of human direction perception. The evaluated spatial sound systems are pairand triplet-wise panning and firstand second-order Ambisonics.
متن کاملNonlinear spectrotemporal sound analysis by neurons in the auditory midbrain.
The auditory system of humans and animals must process information from sounds that dynamically vary along multiple stimulus dimensions, including time, frequency, and intensity. Therefore, to understand neuronal mechanisms underlying acoustic processing in the central auditory pathway, it is essential to characterize how spectral and temporal acoustic dimensions are jointly processed by the br...
متن کاملLong-Lasting Sound-Evoked Afterdischarge in the Auditory Midbrain
Different forms of plasticity are known to play a critical role in the processing of information about sound. Here, we report a novel neural plastic response in the inferior colliculus, an auditory center in the midbrain of the auditory pathway. A vigorous, long-lasting sound-evoked afterdischarge (LSA) is seen in a subpopulation of both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the central nucleu...
متن کاملDiscriminative Binaural Sound Localization
Time difference of arrival (TDOA) is commonly used to estimate the azimuth of a source in a microphone array. The most common methods to estimate TDOA are based on finding extrema in generalized crosscorrelation waveforms. In this paper we apply microphone array techniques to a manikin head. By considering the entire cross-correlation waveform we achieve azimuth prediction accuracy that exceeds...
