Auditory Neuroscience: The Salience of Looming Sounds

Open access
Hall, Deborah A, Moore, David R·2003·Current Biology

Abstract

Sounds that move towards us have a greater biological salience than those that move away. Recent studies in human and non-human primates have demonstrated a perceptual and behavioural priority for such looming sounds that is also reflected in an asymmetric pattern of cortical activation.

  • The superior temporal sulcus is activated by auditory looming stimuli and is involved in multisensory integration, containing visual neurons responding to the sight of movement.

    “The superior temporal sulcus (STS), along with being activated by auditory looming stimuli (Seifritz et al. 2002; Hall and Moore 2003; Bach et al. 2009), is involved in multi-sensory integration, as it contains visual neurons responding to the sight of movement (Beauchamp et al. 2004; Barraclough et al. 2005; Huang et al. 2018).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
