MASCAF fits cable models to complex 3D neuronal surface meshes, enabling simulation of morphologically intricate structures like toric spines.

This paper introduces a modified cross-correlation model to better capture ITD tuning diversity in barn owl's inferior colliculus by incorporating gain control, inhibitory filters, nonlinearities, and ILD modulation.

The paper examines how neural responses and behavioral ITD discrimination thresholds change with sensory reliability in barn owls, finding that neuronal discriminability predicts behavioral performance.

The paper investigates whether internalized spatial percepts from ITD cues can predict external sound localization, finding consistent azimuth estimates despite the perceptual mismatch.

This study shows that barn owl midbrain neurons adapt their frequency tuning during development based on the reliability of interaural time difference cues, which is influenced by the facial ruff.

The paper shows that natural statistics of interaural time differences (ITD) influence human spatial perception by shaping the neural code for sound localization.

The paper shows how sensory reliability modulates premotor neuron firing rates to adjust sound localization behavior in barn owls.
