Inferior colliculus may compensate for reverberation via inter-aural correlation.

Evidence

Perhaps one clue to the neural underpinnings of robust speech understanding in challenging acoustic environments is compensation for the effects of reverberation on coding of temporal-envelope modulation in the inferior colliculus, based on sensitivity to inter-aural correlation (Slama and Delgutte 2015 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5070
