Evolution of sound localisation in vertebrates: head size, sound frequency and neural phase-locking

听觉是我们进行人际交流的最重要的感觉，然而我们对正常听觉的基本机制却只有零星的了解。这个项目解决了声音的位置是如何在大脑中表示的问题，通过处理声音到达双耳的微小时间差。这一结果最终将使我们能够推断出人类大脑如何定位声音，并在改善虚拟听觉现实和助听器方面得到实际应用。

Hearing is our most important sense for interpersonal communication, yet we have a fragmentary understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in normal hearing. This project addresses the question of how sound location is represented in the brain through the processing of minute time difference with which sounds reach the two ears. The outcome will ultimately enable us to infer how the human brain localises sound, with practical applications for improved virtual auditory realities and hearing aids.
