Not my area, but I have reservations as to the degree that lateralisation experiments reliably tell us something about localisation abilities. Also, headphones - do they couple well with cochlear implants? Finally, would I be right in thinking that you're focussing on interaural differences because cochlear implants aren't really capable of capturing anything of pinnae effects?

The idea is to test the auditory skills before and after the implant. (Note that the girls will receive the implant in one ear only at the beginning.) I was thinking also to get a measure of localization skills. And here come the questions: 1) can a lateralization experiment (i.e., performed with headphones) be a reliable estimate of localization skills? 2) does anybody have suggestions about a possible DIY, easy-to-build and cheap setup for a localization experiment? (pictures are welcome) Thank you all in advance, m _____________________________________________________________________ The University of Derby has a published policy regarding email and reserves the right to monitor email traffic.
