In the articles that I've looked at so far, it's mentioned that the torso plays a role in the creation of the perceptual cues that enable sound source localization. I'm curious as to whether there has been any research comparing whole-body rotation (i.e. where the head and body move as one unit) as opposed to head-only rotation (where the body remains fixed as in sitting in a chair and turning the head to look sideways). It seems that the HRTFs for these two cases would be different as the ears' positions with respect to the shoulders/torso is not the same? Is that correct? Are there any articles that examine this issue? Cheers, Chris Share
