Document Summary
Interaural time differences (itd): the difference in time between a sound arriving at one ear versus the other. Azimuth: the angle of a sound source on the horizontal plane relative to a point in the center of the head between the ears. Azimuth is measured in degrees, with a 0 degrees being straight ahead. The angle increases clockwise toward the right, with. Medial superior olive (mso): a replay station in the brain stem where inputs from both ears contribute to detection of the interaural time difference. Interaural level differences (ild): the difference in level (intensity) between a sound arriving at one ear versus the other. Lateral superior olive (lso): a relay station in the brain stem where inputs from both ears contribute to detection of the interaural level differences. Cone of confusion: a region of positions in space where all sounds produce the same time and level (intensity) differences (itds and ilds)
