Abstract

The midbrain of the barn owl contains a map-like representation of sound source direction which is used to precisely orient the head to(cid:173) ward targets of interest. Elevation is computed from the interaural difference in sound level. We present models and computer simula(cid:173) tions of two stages of level difference processing which qualitatively agree with known anatomy and physiology, and make several strik(cid:173) ing predictions.
