Unless otherwise agreed, the tutorial will be held in room “Besse 7” of St Peter’s college.
How is the spatial location of a sound source
encoded in the central nervous system?
Note: Do not write more than 7 pages! If you want me to read your essay
before the tutorial (which might be in your interest, because it would allow me
to tailor the tutorial to your needs) then it would be great if you could let
me have them at least 24 hours in advance, but don't worry too much if your
essay doesn't get finished in time. Do make sure you've done a fair bit of
reading before the tutorial though. This is meant to be your chance to ask
questions, so while you are doing your reading, make notes of anything that is
unclear, or highlight passages in the literature you don't understand.
My preferred mode of receiving essays is by e-mail attachment, but if
you don't word process your essay then you can pidge them either to Physiology
or
