Tim, My experience is that there is a lot of variation among individuals having to do with particular combinations of listeners and sets of HRTFs. Generally, HRTF properties tend to scale with overall size of the subject. Small subjects who listen through ears of large subjects tend to report front/back confusions (particularly down front referred to down rear), and large subjects who listen through ears of small subjects report images that are elevated about the actual target. I have quantified this in a pair of papers in JASA. (Middlebrooks, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 106:1480-1492 and 1493-1510, 1999). Good luck.

Could anyone direct me to resources specifically related to solving this problem. Any thoughts on the phenomena? Tim Cox. _________________________________ Dr. John C.
