Contrasting monaural and interaural spectral cues for human sound localization

Abstract

A human psychoacoustical experiment is described that investigates the role of the monaural and interaural spectral cues in human sound localization. In particular, it focuses on the relative contribution of the monaural versus the interaural spectral cues towards resolving directions within a cone of confusion (i.e., directions with similar interaural time and level difference cues) in the auditory localization process. Broadband stimuli were presented in virtual space from 76 roughly equidistant locations around the listener. In the experimental conditions, a "false" flat spectrum was presented at the left eardrum. The sound spectrum at the right eardrum was then adjusted so that either the true right monaural spectrum or the true interaural spectrum was preserved. In both cases, the overall interaural time difference and overall interaural level difference were maintained at their natural values. With these virtual sound stimuli, the sound localization performance of four human subjects was examined. The localization performance results indicate that neither the preserved interaural spectral difference cue nor the preserved right monaural spectral cue was sufficient to maintain accurate elevation judgments in the presence of...Continue Reading
