Localization in azimuth

[James Heron <J.Heron1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List,

I have recently read an article which explains it's results in the
context of a predictable reduction in accuracy of auditory spatial
localization from 0 through 20deg azimuth.

My understanding of localization in azimuth was that, depending on
frequency, their is minimal drop in accuracy until 30 degrees at the
least (Mills 1958). However with my poor grasp of the literature
perhaps I have missed something...are their any studies comparable to
Mills et al 1958 that have used broadband white noise as opposed to
sinusoids?

Thanks,

James.
