Yes this is for localization ---clicks are broadband, you need to identify which freq components are used. I still think humans can't discriminate the phase of a tone. In fact, MP3s use this to cut bits.
They can tell relative phase, but it takes a lot of training.
After the experiments, the cats will be ok, as I assume they're sufficiently plastic, unless you do brain staining on them. :-( Or your policy is the Tim McVeigh treatment.
both. They spend a year training the cats, then a year or 2 collecting data, then brain stain, then vaporize. Each cat is worth about $1M when it's all done, and it's got a lot of skull missing while it's alive. But it's well protected with a lot of aluminum and epoxy :-)
Cool stuff, though my domestic feline wants to know where you live.
PS: have you identified the "can opener sound" brain-center yet?
I think you better keep it far away! And no, they don't play with higher order systems. The low level stuff is hard enough!!
Cats manage biometrics and reputation better than most human systems..
