title: [Model system of binaural hearing. III. Binaural processing of information about short sounds].
abstract: A model of neuronal structures of the medial superior olivary nuclei and inferior colliculus performing the determination of the direction on the source of the short (shorter than 10 ms) sound signals is presented. In the model the difference between the moments of the arrival of the two informational messages formed on the stage of monaural information processing is calculated. The result of this calculation is the firing probability of the primary detector (the neuron of the medial superior olivary nucleus). Because of the internal noise the curve of this probability as a function of the direction on the source is smoothly sloped. The estimation of the direction is the result of the statistical processing of the responses of the primary detectors ensemble. The direction on the source of sound is coded by a position of the secondary detector (the neuron of the inferior colliculus) on the direction "scale".
