What are the 3 cues for sound localization?
Sound localization plays a critical role in animal survival. Three cues can be used to compute sound direction: interaural timing differences (ITDs), interaural level differences (ILDs) and the direction-dependent spectral filtering by the head and pinnae (spectral cues).
What mechanism is used to Localise sounds?
The brain works out sound direction by comparing the times of when sound reaches the left versus the right ear. This cue is known as interaural time difference, or ITD for short.
Does frequency affect sound localization?
In summary, while stimulus bandwidth and, for narrow bandwidth stimuli, frequency region may have a significant influence on sound source localization accuracy (see Yost et al., 2013 and Yost and Zhong, 2014), it does not appear as if overall level or stimulus duration affect sound source localization accuracy.
What does sound localization depend on?
Sound localization is based on binaural cues (interaural differences), or differences in the sounds that arrive at the two ears (i.e., differences in either the time of arrival or the intensity of the sounds at the right and left ears), or on monaural spectral cues (e.g., the frequency-dependent pattern of sound ...
