Reference frame of the ventriloquism aftereffect.

2 Nov 2009 Seeing the image of a newscaster on a television set causes us to think that the sound coming from the loudspeaker is actually coming from the screen. How images capture sounds is mysterious because the brain uses different methods for determining ... Read more...

Processing of auditory location changes after horizontal head rotation.

12 Oct 2009 Under natural conditions, our sound localization capabilities enable us to move constantly while keeping a stable representation of our auditory environment. However, since most auditory studies focus on head-restrained conditions, it is still ... Read more...

Mechanisms underlying directional selectivity for frequency-modulated sweeps in the inferior colliculus revealed by in vivo whole-cell recordings.

12 Oct 2009 Auditory neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) show remarkable selectively in that they can distinguish between complex sounds that have identical spectral energy but different temporal structure, such as frequency modulations (FMs) that sweep ... Read more...
