Development of Temporal Fine structure
PROJECT SUMMARY The broad goal of the proposed research program is to advance our understanding of sound localization. Even when a person has normal hearing, speech perception and learning in noisy reverberant environments may still be compromised due to persistently impaired binaural hearing capabilities. In more profound cases of deafness, bilateral cochlear implant users typically experience poor discrimination of interaural time differences (ITDs), potentially because of early deprivation. This proposal uses an avian model to advance our understanding of binaural development. We have developed this preparation to determine if/when there is a developmental window in which inputs from…
