In the last two decades, the barn owl, a nocturnal predator with accurate visual and auditory capabilities, has become a common experimental system for neuroscientists investigating the biological substrate of spatial localization and orienting behavior. As a result, much data are now available rega
The barn owl is a nocturnal predator that is able to capture mice in complete darkness using only sound to localize prey. Two binaural cues are used by the barn owl to determine the spatial position of a sound source: differences in the time of arrival of sounds at the two ears for the azimuth (inte
