The spatial resolution of a cue depends both on the rate at which the cue's value changes with source location and on the ability of the auditory system to discriminate those values.
By presenting owls with synchronous sounds of different frequencies from different locations, we were able to observe the dynamic resolution of contradictory spatial cues as the central auditory system created a neural representation of the inferred location of the stimuli.
We propose that, for localizing sounds in elevation, high frequency cues dominate over low frequency cues because of the superior spatial resolution of the high frequency cues and the higher neural gain afforded to high frequency channels.
Semantic- or integration-level processes, including amodal self-representation and belief validation, which allow modality-independent self-recognition and the resolution of potential conflicts between perceptual cues, respectively, were identified in distinct regions in the right frontal and insular cortices.
It is worth highlighting that each different kind of cue has different physical and technological limitations; in particular, for visual cues there are limitations due to the need to stay true to the scenario being represented, as well as technological limitations in terms of resolution and the brightness capabilities of the visual devices.
Time-locked eye tracking analysis of cue obedience revealed that initial cue engagement did not guarantee ongoing cue loyalty.
Due to the low resolution of surveillance cameras, traditional recognition methods such as biometric cues or face and iris recognition could not be applied.
However, the orienting and alerting cues interact to improve their attention performance in the resolution of conflict, creating possibilities for cognitive remediation strategies.
In each sub-channel, there are intrinsic channel noises (resolution of spatial hearing), and among sub-channels, there are interchannel interferences (interaction of binaural cues).
In our model, offspring solicitation has no direct cost during the offspring stage and emerges from arbitrary cues as an adaptation to emerging parental sensitivities rather than as a resolution of parent-offspring conflict.
