Sound localization is the ability to determine the direction from which a sound originates. It is a critical skill for many animals, including humans, as it allows us to navigate our environment, communicate with each other, and avoid danger. Sound localization is also used in a variety of applications, such as sonar, radar, and medical imaging.
How Sound Localization Works
Sound localization is a complex process that involves several different cues, including:
