Humans can estimate distances to sound sources better when they move and exploit auditory motion parallax. The ability to estimate distances to sound sources accurately can be crucial for survival. A ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- The ability to locate sounds in the surrounding environment is a remarkable feature of the human ear. Typically, people with good hearing use both ears to detect and interpret ...

Prof. Emeritus Robert A. Butler, whose research focused on hearing—particularly involving the localization of sound and auditory perception—died Feb. 5 after a brief illness. He was 98 years old.

The auditory cortex is critical for perceiving a sound's location. However, there is no topographic representation of acoustic space, and individual auditory cortical neurons are often broadly tuned ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- The importance of a Soldier's ability to hear a wide range of sounds is critical to survival and mission success on the battlefield. In today's military environment, ...

For the first time, researchers have provided physiological evidence that a pervasive neuromodulation system - a group of neurons that regulate the functioning of more specialized neurons - strongly ...

The ability to estimate distances to sound sources accurately can be crucial for survival. A new study carried out under the direction of Professor Lutz Wiegrebe at the Department of Biology at Ludwig ...
