[The cat acoustic cortex response to the signal localised signs under conditions of electrical stimulation of the acoustic nerve and sound stimulation].

The mechanisms underlying acoustic capacity to localize the sound source in horizontal plane were studied. The results obtained are discussed from the aspect of existing ideas of the mechanisms providing the localization acoustic capacities in natural way of stimulation in neuronal activity of the acoustic centres. The data obtained are also considered from the viewpoint of a possible considerable improvement of deaf people's spatial orientation with the aid of bilateral implanted cochlear implants.
