1 Spatial hearing and sound localization mechanisms in the brain Henri Pöntynen February 9, 2016

3 Outline Auditory periphery: from acoustics to neural signals - Basilar membrane - Organ of Corti Spatial cues and neural processing - ILD - ITD - Monaural cues References
4 Auditory periphery
5 Auditory periphery: organs of hearing Outer ear: protection, amplification, localization cues Middle ear: amplification (impedance matching), protection Inner ear: transduction of acoustic energy into neural signals
6 Cochlear anatomy Coiled structure with three liquid filled chambers Transduction by the basilar membrane and the organ of Corti
7 Basilar membrane Sound pressure variations coupled to the inner ear via the tympanic membrane and the ossicular chain The mechanical properties of the basilar membrane vary along its length Wide and flexible apex Stiff and narrow base Resonance position depends on stimulus frequency Tonotopy Complex stimuli decomposed into frequency bands by mechanical frequency analysis
8 Cochlear transduction in the Organ of Corti
9 Localization cues
10 Localization cues Direction-dependent features in acoustic signals Horizontal localization via binaural cues Signal sampled at 2 spatial locations, i.e., at the 2 ears Interaural level difference (ILD) Interaural time difference (ITD) Elevation via monaural cues Spectral features of the sound pressure signal at the eardrum
11 Brain circuit for spatial cues
12 Binaural cues: ITD Difference in signal arrival times at the two ears is determined by horizontal coordinate of the source. Delays < 1ms Effective at low frequncies
13 Medial superior olive (MSO)
14 Coincidence detector model of MSO ITD processed in the MSO by coincidence detection principle Tuned detector neurons show highest activity when left/right signals are present simultaneously. Axon length compensates for ITD to align the signals at some detector neuron ITDs represented as activation of corresponding coincidence detectors.
15 Binaural cues: ILD Diffraction when wavelength > dimensions of the head Sound waves are unaffected by the acoustic obstacle presented by the head Sound pressure level is the same at both ears. At high frequencies, the head forms an acoustic shadow Lower sound pressure level at the contralateral ear The degree of shadowing depends on the horizontal coordinate of the source Maximum ILD at ±90, minimum ILD at 0 & 180
16 Lateral superior olive (LSO)
17 Neural processing of ILD LSO in the superior olive MNTB = medial nucleus of the trapezoidal body IE neurons in the LSO perform binaural substraction to estimate the level difference. Excitatory input from ipsilateral cochelea, Inhibitory input from contralateral cochlea Spike rate of LSOs in both hemispheres determined by ILD
18 Monaural cues Spectral features formed by constructive and destructive interference of direct sound and delayed reflections Shoulder reflections Reflections within pinna cavities All source locations produce a unique reflection pattern Head-related transfer function (HRTF) Unique to each subject
19 Monaural cues
20 Neural processing of monaural cues Neural processing of monaural cues is poorly understood A1: Neuron circuit in dorsal cochlear nucleus Interaction between type II, IV and wideband inhibitor neurons. Inhibited response to tuned spectral notches Type IV output projected to type O neurons in the IC A2: Neuron circuit in inferior colliculus Interaction between type O, IV and inhibitory and wideband excitatory neurons Excitatory response to tuned spectral notches
21 Summary
22 Summary Stimuli divided into frequency bands by the basilar membrane Low-level localization mechanisms in the midbrain Horizontal coordinate resolved mainly with binaural cues interaural time difference at low frequencies (MSO) Interaural level difference at higher frequencies (LSO) Monaural cues: horizontal and vertical coordinates Spectral features formed by acoustic reflection patterns Processed by neurons sensitive to spectral notches
