The auditory and visual systems encode target location in fundamentally different ways. Nevertheless, the two modalities must provide a common representation of space to properly identify and localize ...

Unlike the visual system, in which images are mapped directly onto the retina and topographically projected to higher visual areas, the auditory system must compute sound location from differences in ...

In the previous module, we have summarized the behavioural aspects of sound propagation in open and enclosed spaces, with some references to the psychoacoustics involved. Here we will extend our ...

Literally, to hear with two ears. Opposite of MONAURAL HEARING. The fact that the ears are some distance apart allows the localization of sound by registering the slight differences in time, PHASE and ...

Studies show blind people hear better, honing acute sound localization skills versus their sighted peers, according to Franco Lepore's research. Centuries' worth of anecdotal reports suggest that ...
