title: Auditory neuroscience: the salience of looming sounds.
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.
