Document Summary
Three cues for picking up direction of sound. Time of arrival: difference between the left and right ear something said on your right side will be heard by your right ear first (not as important does not last the entire duration of the sound) Phase difference: as the sound waves come in through the ear, they are at a certain phase, but when they come in the next ear, they will be at a different phase. How do you turn two dimensional objects on your retina and turn it into the three dimensional objects you see. There is a basis of form perception: contours, there is an abrupt changes in luminance, if you have a stimulus that gives you an abrupt change in colour, you will not see the contour very well. This is created naturally- people that go into really serious snow storm (everything seems the same colour) you lose your ability to see.
