Physiological correlates of the precedence effect and summing localization in the inferior colliculus of the cat.
The precedence effect (PE) describes an illusion produced when two similar sounds are delivered in quick succession (interclick delays of 2-8 msec) from sound sources at different locations so that only a single sound is perceived. The localization of the perceived sound is dominated by the location of the leading sound. If the delays are very short (< 1-2 msec), summing localization occurs and...
متن کاملEcho Suppression in a Computational Model of the Precedence Effect
Recent neurophysiological evidence suggests that the so-called precedence effect is a composite of multiple phenomena, in particular echo suppression and “active” mechanisms that build up and release suppression. We propose a simple functional model of echo suppression in a population of low-frequency ITD-sensitive neurons in the inferior colliculus. Our model is based on Zurek’s 1987 proposal,...
متن کاملPsychophysical and Physiological Studies of the Precedence Effect in Cats
The precedence effect (PE) is an auditory spatial illusion where the apparent location of two sounds presented from different spatial locations but separated by a delay is determined primarily by the spatial attributes of the leading stimulus. In this review, we compare previously published psychophysical and physiological experiments on the PE in cats. Also included are data from some new psyc...
متن کاملLocal inhibition of GABA affects precedence effect in the inferior colliculus
The precedence effect is a prerequisite for faithful sound localization in a complex auditory environment, and is a physiological phenomenon in which the auditory system selectively suppresses the directional information from echoes. Here we investigated how neurons in the inferior colliculus respond to the paired sounds that produce precedence-effect illusions, and whether their firing behavio...
متن کاملNeural correlates of the precedence effect in the inferior colliculus of behaving cats.
Several auditory spatial illusions, collectively called the precedence effect (PE), occur when transient sounds are presented from two different spatial locations but separated in time by an interstimulus delay (ISD). For ISDs in the range of localization dominance (<10 ms), a single fused sound is typically located near the leading source location only, as if the location of the lagging source...
