Interest has recently surged in the neural mechanisms of audition, particularly with regard to functional imaging studies in human subjects. This review emphasizes recent work on two aspects of auditory processing. The first explores auditory spatial processing and the role of the auditory cortex in both nonhuman primates and human subjects. The interactions with visual stimuli, the ventriloquism effect, and the ventriloquism aftereffect are also reviewed. The second aspect is temporal processing. Studies investigating temporal integration, forward masking, and gap detection are reviewed, as well as examples from the birdsong system and echolocating bats.
最近,人们对听觉的神经机制兴趣激增,尤其是在人类受试者的功能成像研究方面。本综述着重介绍了听觉处理两个方面的近期研究成果。第一个方面探讨了听觉空间处理以及听觉皮层在非人类灵长类动物和人类受试者中的作用。还综述了与视觉刺激的相互作用、口技效应和口技后效应。第二个方面是时间处理。综述了研究时间整合、前掩蔽和间隙检测的研究,以及来自鸟鸣系统和回声定位蝙蝠的例子。
