Perception and coding of high-frequency spectral notches: potential implications for sound localization

The interaction of sound waves with the human pinna introduces high-frequency notches (5–10 kHz) in the stimulus spectrum that are thought to be useful for vertical sound localization. A common view is that these notches are encoded as rate profiles in the auditory nerve (AN). Here, we review previo...
