Yin directs a sound localization study involving electronic monitoring of a cat as the animal listens for an audible cue yielding a food reward. (Photos by Jeff Miller/UW-Madison).

A 13-year-old cat named Broc listens for an audible cue and seeks a food reward as the research subject participates in a sound localization study in Tom Yin’s lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Jan. 3, 2014. Atop the animal’s head is a surgically implanted cap containing sensors, which Broc has had much of her adult life.
