What and where manifolds emerge and align with perception in deep neural network models of sound localization
Chenggang Chen, Zhiyu Yang, Xiaoqin Wang
This study examines how deep neural networks model 'what' and 'where' in sound localization, finding that 'what' manifolds are geometrically organized and influence 'where' map formation, with implications for understanding brain function.
