ICcl

In particular, models that explicitly include ICcl assume that combination selectivity for ITD and ILD is uniform over the population

Accuracy of the multiplicative model as a function of spiking threshold in ICcl.

This extends previous models by providing a possible mechanism for the generation of nonlinear responses to ITD and ILD in ICcl, and by addressing the issue of how a heterogeneous population of ICcl responses is processed to produce ICx responses.

This prediction is based on our hypothesis that multiplicative responses emerge in ICcl neurons as a result of the spiking nonlinearity.

In contrast to the power-law nonlinearity, the threshold-sigmoid nonlinearity allows for the spiking response to saturate, which occurs in ICcl spiking responses

The model presented here better captures the ICcl spiking responses and ICx subthreshold responses to sounds than previous models.

This is the key equation that defines the interaction of ITD and ILD in the subthreshold responses of ICcl neurons.

To test this hypothesis, we measured ITD tuning curves of ICcl neurons in three owls for different stimulus intensities.

The model is constructed in three stages: (1) a front end for extracting binaural localization cues from the auditory inputs, (2) ICcl, and (3) ICx. of the filter corresponds to the characteristic frequency of an auditory-nerve fiber.

In the barn owl's ICcl, spiking responses to ITD-ILD range from highly combination selective to more additive than multiplicative
