Sound Source Segregation and head motion

[Fred Herzfeld <herzfeld@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi List Members,

I was hoping that I would get my web site up but it is not yet 
functioning.  I therefore want to let everyone know that I have what 
looks like a working model of the casa problem. While it will NOT 
separate multiple sound sources coming from the same identical speaker 
(there the work of Al Bregman comes into play) it will accurately 
determine for any number of locations in 3-D space and for each such 
point the frequency content, the phase angles between harmonics, the 
amplitude at the source of each harmonic and the delay from that point 
in space to a SINGLE receiver. As far as I can tell it is the method 
used by the CF bats, the FM bats and the odontocetes. The mathematics is 
extremely simple. It explains the precedence effect, reverberation, the 
function of HRTF and and why some bats have moving ears (CF bats) and 
some have immobile ears (FM bats). I have 3 MS Word documents which I 
will send upon request. (I don't want to send attachments to the entire 
list)

Document 1..Draft of letter to Nature. 56 KB
Document 2..Draft of Patent Application without claims 100 KB

If in some of your papers or publications you use the expressions 
in-harmonic, an-harmonic or some other expression instead 
"non-resolvable" please also request:

Document 3.. "The Fundamental Frequency of a Vibration" MS Word 30 KB

Please request by document number. I will send each as a single 
attachment to separate e-mails.
