Keeping track of sound objects in space: The contribution of early-stage auditory areas

Stephanie Clarke

The influential dual-stream model of auditory processing stipulates that information pertaining to the meaning and to the position of a given sound object is processed in parallel along two distinct pathways, the ventral and dorsal auditory streams. Functi ...
