The ability to localize a sound source has beenuthe subject of much investigation for a number of years, and results and results¹ hav catedor actual sound sources it is possible for an observer to localize various frequencies with an error of less than ten degrees fen degrees for all or a a small range centering around 1,500 cycles per second (cps). From these studies it has been revealed that two basic mechaed ms, depending upon the frequency, are involved in this localization

Those frequencies of a long wave length, relative to the distance between the two ears, encounter . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
