Dear Tim,

I think I am not the only one to disagree with your phenomenological
observations. If you mean HRTF-processed sounds by "binaural recording", my
own and many of our subjects' data clearly show frequently occurring
front-to-back confusions. Although it is true that true frontal percepts
appear to be rare birds with HRTF-processed sound presentations, frontal
sources are almost never reported as intracranial while behind-the-head
images are clearly extracranial.
