Re: Directional Perception

[John Neuhoff <jneuhoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tom,

There is some data on echolocation.  Larry Rosenblum and Dan Ashmead both have
some recent work on this.  However, as I understand it, echolocation refers
specifically to sound produced by the listener (see Ashmead et al. 1998). I am
more interested in relatively unidirectional sound sources (other than the
listener) that can rotate and listener's ability to detect the orientation (or
facing direction) of the directional source.
