[Auditory analysis of the sound source approaching and withdrawing: psychoacoustic and neurophysiological correlates].
The findings seemed to be based on direction and velocity of modelling the radial sound source shifting in free acoustic field. The threshold and the optimal parameters of the acoustic model imitating the approaching and withdrawing of the sound source shifting in silence and under conditions of noise, were established. A correlation between peak-to-peak amplitudes of the N1-P2 components of auditory EPs and the imitated direction of the sound shifting, was shown. The role of different left and right hemispheres' areas in perception of the radial sound source was analysed. The detector features of the central auditory neurones were shown as a possible mechanism of estimating the sound source approaching and withdrawal.
