The superior colliculus uniquely holds an auditory spatial map aligned with the visual map
Evidence
Most of neural processing is probabilistic and inaccurate when considering a single neuron, but neural signal processing is based on a large number of neurons working together, which can make the output of such neural networks very precise and robust. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 794 (
