This study shows that humans can partially relearn elevation sound localization with asymmetric ears using novel binaural cues, but adaptation is limited and variable.

The paper investigates how simultaneous and preceding visual distractors affect sound localization accuracy and response latency, finding distinct effects on spatial perception and temporal processing.

The paper investigates how the ventriloquism aftereffect generalizes across sound frequencies, finding it persists across all tested frequencies after audiovisual exposure.

The paper extends a spiking neural network model of the superior colliculus to explain dynamic control of eye-head gaze shifts based on initial eye position and neural firing rates.

The paper improves a spiking neural network model of the Superior Colliculus to better replicate experimental saccade properties under varying input conditions.

This study uses reaction times to measure sensitivity to spectrotemporal sound modulations in normal and impaired hearing conditions, finding similar patterns to traditional modulation-depth threshold measures.

The paper investigates whether the auditory system can identify and localize two synchronous sounds, finding that identification is possible with spatial separation but localization remains at the average location.

This study investigates how cochlear-implant users balance attention between auditory and visual speech cues, finding they face an integration-attention trade-off in multisensory speech recognition.

The paper investigates audiovisual speech perception, showing that inverse effectiveness occurs when speech recognition difficulty determines the benefit of combining auditory and visual cues.

The paper develops a spiking neural network model of the superior colliculus to explain how microstimulation produces saccades with normal kinematics through lateral synaptic interactions.
