Comparison of neuronal computer modelling and experimental data. (a–c) Schematics of the three different model concepts (labeled line, hemispheric difference, and hemispheric balance model, respectively). Within each column the corresponding model predictions (solid, coloured lines) and the experimental data (grey) for one of the three different adapter conditions are shown (Pearson’s rank correlation coefficients, ρ, and p-values are given for comparison). (a i –c i ) All three models are able to predict the opposing shifts of target tone perception within the left and right spatial hemisphere for a preceding central adapter. (a ii –c ii ) Perceptional shifts resulting from a preceding semi-lateral adapter are also reasonable good predicted by all three model concepts. (a iii –c iii ) The most striking effect of the three models predictions is found for the lateral adapter: Only the hemispheric balance model restricts the predicted shifts to target tone ITDs within the adapter hemisphere, whereas the two other models erroneously predict a shift over the whole range of target tone ITDs.
