Comparative hearing : birds and reptiles

TL;DR: A user localization system based on the fusion of visual information and sound source localization, implemented on a social robot called Maggie, which manages the user-robot interaction during the communicative process is presented.

TL;DR: A lumped-parameter model of the lizard auditory system is converted into a set of digital filters implemented on a TDT StingRay digital signal processing module carried by a small mobile robot, and the performance of the robotic model in a phonotaxis task is evaluated.

TL;DR: The number of auditory nerve fibers was determined for non-Belgian Waterslager canaries (non-BWS) and Belgian Waterslagers (B WS) that are affected by a sensorineural high frequency hearing loss and a 30% reduction in theNumber of auditory hair cells.

TL;DR: An improvement of the starling’s MAA with an increasing number of standard stimulus presentations prior to the test stimulus has important implications for determining relative (MAA) localization thresholds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the contributing ornithologists' current research in birds' acoustic communication with an ecological and evolutionary focus, and also identified the areas they feel will dominate future research efforts.

TL;DR: The process by which spatial cues are used for localizing a sound source in a free-field listening situation is summarized, and current evidence does not support the view that auditory motion perception is anything more than detection of changes in static location over time.

TL;DR: In this article, the smallest angular separation that can be detected between the sources of two successive tone pulses (the minimum audible angle) was determined for each of three subjects, and the threshold angles were analyzed in terms of the corresponding threshold changes in the phase, time, and intensity of the tone at the ears of the subject.
