Happy new ears: Rapid adaptation to novel spectral cues in vertical sound localization.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Humans can adapt to changes in the acoustic properties of the head and exploit the resulting novel spectral cues for sound source localization. However, the adaptation rate varies across studies and is not associated with the aftereffects commonly found after adaptation in other sensory domains. To investigate the adaptation' rate and measure potential aftereffects, our participants wore new-ears to alter the spectral cues for sound localization and underwent sensorimotor training to induce rapid adaptation. Within 20 min, our sensorimotor-training induced full adaptation to the new-ears, as demonstrated by changes in various performance indexes, including the localization gain, bias, and precision. Once the new ears were removed, participants displayed systematic aftereffects, evident as drop in the precision of localization lasting only a few trials. These results highlight the short-term plasticity of human spatial hearing, which is capable to quickly adapt to spectral perturbations and inducing large, yet short lived, aftereffects.
