How was neural cross-correlation defined? and how was it measured (any
numerical representation?)
If NL or MSO is not the cross-correlator, then which part of the
auditory
pathway could be the cross-correlator? and is it certain that
cross-correlation was achieved before the signal passed through optic
tectum?
and what is ANOVA test?
I have several questions on neural cross-correlation as well (sorry):

and did anyone sequence out the genome for barn owl's auditory system?
if so, where can i find it?
thank you very very much for your time and answers,
