Direct neuron-perception comparisons for acoustic motion have been lacking in one species

Evidence

Auditory motion perception has been investigated simulating motion by switching between neighbouring free-field loudspeakers (e.g., Wagner and Takahashi 1992 ) or by varying interaural cues in headphone presentation (reviewed by Middlebrooks and Green 1991 ). Neurophysiological correlates to human auditory motion perception have been investigated in animal models with both free-field and headphone stimulation (e.g., McAlpine et al. 2000 ; Wagner et al. 1997 ). What is missing, however, is the direct comparison of neuronal and perceptual sensitivity for acoustic motion in the same model species. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3184
