Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aimed at investigating the processing of auditory distance with noninvasive brain imaging in healthy humans. Sound distance perception depends on various acoustic and non-acoustic cues and thus provides a model system to research cue integration in the human brain. In this series of experiments, we characterized the brain activity during sound motion-in-depth compared to lateral motion and the brain structures involved in estimating distance and sound loudness from room reverberation.
