چکیده
Presented at the Eighty-second Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, Dallas, Oct 2-6, 1977. topic, and symmetric fashion to NL on both sides of the brain. This highly ordered projection contributes to the binaural response properties and tonotopic organization of NL neurons and suggests a mechanism for the differential transmission delay required by a "place" model of low-frequency sound localization. The resulting model predicts the anatomic locus of maximum neuronal response to stimuli emanating from a fixed source and the change in position of this locus of excitation as the azimuth of the stimulus is altered. The assumptions of the model and the supporting data will be discussed.

Calculation of the drop in sound pressure level and frequency analysis of aerospace engine test cell (Research Article)
Aerospace engines testing is a source of noise pollution and determining the low frequency acoustic characteristics of the test cell, plays an important role in optimally control of the sound field and reducing the level of sound pressure and pollution. In this study, the drop in average sound pressure level is numerically predicted by constructing a test cell according to ISO 140 standard. To ...

This paper investigates the effect of the wind-generated bubble layer on the underwater sound source localization in the Persian Gulf shallow-water environment through computer simulation and the matched field processing technique. An underwater sound source of 2-10 kHz located at depths of 10, 45, and 75 m was considered at a distance of 4 km from a linear vertical receiver array. The estimati...
متن کاملDistribution of interaural time difference in the barn owl's inferior colliculus in the low- and high-frequency ranges.
Interaural time differences are an important cue for azimuthal sound localization. It is still unclear whether the same neuronal mechanisms underlie the representation in the brain of interaural time difference in different vertebrates and whether these mechanisms are driven by common constraints, such as optimal coding. Current sound localization models may be discriminated by studying the spe...
متن کاملPerception and coding of high-frequency spectral notches: potential implications for sound localization
The interaction of sound waves with the human pinna introduces high-frequency notches (5-10 kHz) in the stimulus spectrum that are thought to be useful for vertical sound localization. A common view is that these notches are encoded as rate profiles in the auditory nerve (AN). Here, we review previously published psychoacoustical evidence in humans and computer-model simulations of inner hair c...

Background and Aim: Noise is one of the most effective exogenous factors affecting the processing mechanisms of the human brain, which has a major role in the occurrence of human error and occupational accidents. Low frequency noise is usually produced by sources such as ventilation systems, pumps, compressors, diesel engines and gas turbines, and so on. For this reason, the sound is in additio...
