Effects of sound direction on spectral and temporal processing in the frog midbrain

The effects of sound direction on two aspects of signal processing, spectral and temporal processing, were investigated by single-unit extracellular recording from the frog inferior colliculus (IC). The neural activities were evaluated from 3 to 5 sound directions within 180$\sp\circ$ of frontal field in the free-field stimulus system. The results from this study provide physiological evidence that sound direction can bolster the spectral and temporal selectivities of central auditory neurons.
