A cat's ears move in 25 milliseconds! Meanwhile, your brain can focus on one voice in a crowded room. From swiveling satellite dishes to mental spotlights, animals have mastered the art of active spatial sensing. Check out the post at www.kluglab.org 🧠👂 #Neuroscience

🦖 For 160 million years, our mammalian ancestors hid from dinosaurs, evolving exquisite spatial hearing. Meanwhile, vision's story starts 3.6 billion years ago with light-eating bacteria! Two senses, two epic evolutionary journeys. Check out the Blogpost at www.kluglab.org

🧠 How does a mouse detect hawks while you track voices at a party? Both use spatial biases! Mice have special 'sky-watching' retinal cells, while humans triangulate sound using precise timing. Evolution's GPS systems! 🐭👂New blog post at www.kluglab.org #Neuroscience"

Have you ever had trouble following a conversation in crowded place such as a busy restaurant or cafeteria? And you were not sure why because you can hear just fine in less noisy environments? Unfortunately, many listeners have that problem, especially as they age. Check out www.kluglab.org.

Did you know your inner ear contains thousands of tiny "hair cells" that let you hear...and once they die, they NEVER grow back?
Just published a blog about the silent threat of age-related hearing loss. Check out www.kluglab.org

Check out of newest blog post discussing how the inner ear works - there's a special membrane that physically breaks down complex sounds into different frequencies (called a "Fourier analysis")!

Ever wonder why you can chat just fine in a noisy restaurant while your grandparents struggle? It's about SOUND LOCALIZATION!
Just published a blog about how brains pinpoint where sounds come from.

Just published a blog post about how our brains pinpoint where sounds come from!
Turns out all mammals (yes, including you and your dog) use the same brain circuits to locate sounds. The secret? Check out the blog post at www.kluglab.org.
