The dominant role of low-frequency interaural time differences in sound localization by WIGHTMAN, F. L, KISTLER, D. J

“…Two experiments are described in which listeners judge the apparent directions of virtual sound sources-headphone-presented sounds that are processed in order…”

A model of head-related transfer functions based on principal components analysis and minimum-phase reconstruction by KISTLER, D. J, WIGHTMAN, F. L

“…Free-field to eardrum transfer functions (HRTFs) were measured from both ears of 10 subjects with sound sources at 265 different positions. A principal…”

Resolution of front-back ambiguity in spatial hearing by listener and source movement by Wightman, F L, Kistler, D J

“…Normally, the apparent position of a sound source corresponds closely to its actual position. However, in some experimental situations listeners make large…”

Loudness constancy with varying sound source distance by Zahorik, Pavel, Wightman, Frederic L

“…At a listener's ears, sound source power and sound source distance are confounded in measures of acoustic intensity, a physical property long thought to be the…”

Monaural Sound Localization Revisited by Wightman, Frederic L., Kistler, Doris J.

“…Research reported during the past few decades has revealed the importance for human sound localization of the so-called 'monaural spectral cues.' These cues…”

Sound localization in the presence of one or two distracters by Langendijk, E H, Kistler, D J, Wightman, F L

“…Localizing a target sound can be a challenge when one or more distracter sounds are present at the same time. This study measured the effect of distracter…”
