Which among the following is determined by the higher auditory centre?
Correct Answer: Sound localization
Description: Sound localization refers to auditory systems judgement on the localization of the sound source. It depends on detecting the difference in time between the arrival of the stimulus in the two ears and the consequent difference in phase of the sound waves on the two sides. Neurons in the auditory coex on receiving input from both ears respond maximally or minimally when the time of arrival of a stimulus at one ear is delayed by a fixed period relative to the time of arrival at the other ear. Thus auditory coex is involved in sound localization.
