Describe the two binaural cues used by the auditory system tolocalize sounds in space. What aspects of the interaction of thesound with the listener lead to the existence of these two cues?What is the duplex theory of sound localization? How does theusefulness of these two cues change as a function of frequency? Isthe duplex theory applicable to all types of stimuli? Cite anauditory ability that argues that interaural differences of timecan be used when the spectrum of the sound (e.g., the frequenciesat which it has energy) is confined to high frequencies. Describethe neurophysiological mechanisms for cells that are selective todifferent interaural differences of time in the medial superiorolive. How does one predict sensitivity of units to interauraldifferences of time from monaural response properties? How areinteraural differences of level extracted in the lateral superiorolive?
