Abstract

Similar to the visual dual-pathway model, neurophysiological studies in non-human primates have suggested that the dual-pathway model is also applicable for explaining auditory cortical processing, including the ventral “what” pathway for object identification and the dorsal “where” pathway for spatial localization. This review summarizes evidence from human neuroimaging studies supporting the dual-pathway model for auditory cortical processing in humans.

Keywords: auditory perception, auditory localization, auditory pattern recognition, functional MRI
