Auditory brainstem processing underpins our ability to determine the location of sounds in space, a function that is essential for navigation, communication, and environmental awareness. At the heart ...

When underwater, humans cannot determine where a sound comes from. Sound travels about five times faster there than on land. That makes directional hearing, or sound localization, nearly impossible ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists developed a computer model that can localize sounds. The model, which consists of several convolutional neural networks, not only performs the task as well as humans do, it also ...

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 auditory cues. Science X ...

Researchers have discovered that the subtle squeaking sounds in the ear generated by eye movements can indicate where the eyes are looking. In 2018, a team at Duke University (NC, USA) led by Jennifer ...

Physiologists have a furthered understanding of the bird neural circuitry that allows them to distinguish where a specific sound is coming from. Their findings could help scientists understand the ...
