“…Although active sensing has primarily been studied in vision, touch, echolocation, and electrosensation, hearing is also an active sensorimotor process (Aytekin, Moss and Simon, 2008). In species with limited ability to move the ears independently, moving the head can optimize the collection of auditory information (Wallach, 1940; Perrett and Noble, 1997; Wightman and Kistler, 1999; Brimijoin, Boyd and Akeroyd, 2013; Yost, Torben Pastore and Dorman, 2020; Van Bentum, Van Opstal and Van Wanrooij, 2021; Higgins et al ., 2023). For instance, we might turn to face a person in order to better hear them.…”
