Relevance of spectral cues for auditory spatial processing in the occipital cortex of the blind

We have previously shown that some blind individuals can localize sounds more accurately than their sighted counterparts when one ear is obstructed, and that this ability is strongly associated with occipital cortex activity. Given that spectral cues are important for monaural localizing sounds whe...
