This study shows that pulse timing ITDs dominate binaural hearing in cochlear implant users, suggesting arbitrary pulse timing impairs spatial hearing.

This study shows that neonatally deafened rats with cochlear implants can detect interaural time differences (ITDs) up to 900 pulses per second, challenging the notion that high pulse rates limit binaural hearing in humans.

This study shows that neonatally deaf rats with cochlear implants can achieve normal interaural time difference discrimination thresholds when provided with synchronized stimulation, suggesting potential improvements in human CI technology or training.
