- What is the hemifield code? How do hemifield-tuned neurons in humans differ from neurons in animals?
- How is the receptive field in the human auditory cortex measured? How were results obtained?
- In what ways is the hemifield coding strategy “at odds” with behavioral sound source localization?
- How is sound involved in motion detection? What impact does sound source location have?
- How is the representation of auditory space in cortex formed by an adaptive system sensitive to context?

- What is the auditory pathway responsible for? What areas of the brain are involved?
- What is the auditory cortex? How are auditory cortex fields organized?
- How do we differentiate between pitch, timbre, and location in processing sound location?
- How is the auditory cortex involved in the processing and encoding of sounds?
- What is responsible for the auditory cortex’s sensitivity to a change in a sounds attribute?

- What are the cues involved in sound localization? How have they been previously tested?
- How did water affect sound localization? What factors possibly confounded these experiments?
- What are the implications of the results of these studies on the overall effect of exposure on spatial hearing abilities?
