Azimuth extends from left to right. Distance the sound source from the listener: major problems w/ auditory system in locating sound source, in comparison w/ vision. Visual information for relative locations contained in the image on the surface of the retina. Audio information stimulate the cochlea based on sound frequencies determine sound"s pitch and timbre. Does not contain information for relative locations: location cues used by the auditory system to determine sound location, created by the way sound interacts w/ listener, using binaural cues for perceiving azimuth locations. Cone of confusion when sound source its extremely one sided, all points (a & b) on this cone have same ild and itd. Binaural cues for sound location: binaural cues cue that depends on information from both ears.
