Nope. That's why I have a job (for another couple of months anyway, till the grant runs out.)
Actually I thought humans are insensitive to phase relations, modulo inter-aural timing at low frequencies for spatial location. Perhaps that is what you meant? But spatial location isn't the same as the frequency-fetishing audiophiles go for. To do that well you need casts of the outer ear too.
No, if you put 2 clicks out that are 10 usec's apart on right and left, most people can pick out which side came first. 90% of the time anyway.
You doing owl-type studies on auditory localization? Audio-visual mapping and plasticity? Making the cats wear funky glasses?
Yup. they sew coils into their eyes. For humans they use contacts :-) PETA is definitly a problem :-) Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
