Neural models of sound localization

A colourful neurogram shows the spiking activity of brainstem neurons with differing intensity.

Sound localization in hearing is important for safety and comfort in daily life. With Dr. Ian Bruce at McMaster University, I used computational models of the auditory brainstem and midbrain to investigate how sound localization cues are processed in impaired and aided hearing.
