Hearing: recognition and localization of sound

In this chapter the problem of recognition and localization of a sound source is discussed. The starting point is the solution adopted by the cricket able to identify an auditory stimulus and to reach the sound source. The auditory process has been modelled with a network of neurons with the aim to realize a bio-inspired auditory system for robotic applications.
