A New Binaural Detection Model Based on Contralateral Inhibition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Binaural models attempt to explain binaural phenomena in terms of neural mechanisms that extract binaural information from acoustic stimuli. In this paper, a model setup is presented that can be used to simulate binaural detection tasks. In contrast to the most often used cross correlation between the right and left channel, this model is based on contralateral inhibition. The presented model is applied to a wide range of binaural detection experiments. It shows a good fit for changes in masker bandwidth or masker correlation, static and dynamic cues and level and frequency dependencies.

Binaural processing model based on contralateral inhibition. I. Model structure.
This article presents a quantitative binaural signal detection model which extends the monaural model described by Dau et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 3615-3622 (1996)]. The model is divided into three stages. The first stage comprises peripheral preprocessing in the right and left monaural channels. The second stage is a binaural processor which produces a time-dependent internal representatio...

The model consists of several stages of monaural and binaural preprocessing combined with an optimal detector. In the present article the model is tested and validated by comparing its pr...
متن کاملResponse properties of single units in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus of decerebrate cats.
The dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) receives afferent inputs from many brain stem nuclei and, in turn, is a major source of inhibitory inputs to the inferior colliculus (IC). The goal of this study was to characterize the monaural and binaural response properties of neurons in the DNLL of unanesthetized decerebrate cat. Monaural responses were classified according to the patterns...

A model was developed that simulates the binaural response properties of low-frequency inferior colliculus (IC) neurons in response to several types of stimuli. The model incorporates existing models for auditory-nerve fibers, bushy cells in the cochlear nucleus, and cells in medial superior olive (MSO). The IC model neuron receives two inputs, one excitatory from an ipsilateral MSO model cell ...
