Research project funded by NIDCD to study sound localization and binaural hearing development using an avian model, focusing on interaural time differences, temporal precision, and inhibition.
Description
The broad goal of the proposed research program is to advance understanding of sound localization, especially how binaural hearing develops and can be affected by early experience. The study uses an avian model to investigate the physiological and developmental mechanisms underlying sound localization circuits, focusing on the representation of interaural time differences (ITDs), the emergence of temporal precision, and the role of inhibition.
