brightness

[gia <gia@xxxxxxxx>]

I am interested in analogues between visual and auditory processing.

We describe sounds rich in high-frequency harmonics "bright". This adjective
is apparently universal. Why do we use such a visual concept to describe an
auditory feature?



Another question is about the lateral inhibitions between neighboring
inferior colliculus laminae and facilitation extending to second next
laminae. Is the later confirmed by experiments and how does it work in
auditory processing?



Any information is appreciated.
