Abstract
Tone bursts, noise bursts, and clicks were presented at a moderate intensity to the right ear, to the left ear, and simultaneously to both ears of cats immobilized with gallamine triethiodide [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 39, 1226(A) (1966)]. For about 80 well-isolated cells in 12 cats, of those cells that responded to tone bursts about 29% were influenced only by a stimulus to the right (contralateral) ear, 3% only by a stimulus to the left (ipsilateral) ear, and 68% by stimuli to either ear. About 68% gave a greater response to stimulation of the right ear, 10% to stimulation of the left ear, and 22% were nearly symmetrical. (Response refers to a change in unit activity attributable to the acoustic stimulus.) Results for noise bursts and clicks were similar. Several forms of binaural interaction were observed.
