  2. Sound localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization

    Sound localization is a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance. The sound localization mechanisms of the mammalian auditory system have been extensively studied. The auditory system uses several cues for sound source localization, including time difference and level difference (or ...

  3. Acoustic location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_location

    Acoustic wayfinding, the practice of using auditory cues and sound markers to navigate indoor and outdoor spaces; Animal echolocation, animals emitting sound and listening to the echo in order to locate objects or navigate; Echo sounding, listening to the echo of sound pulses to measure the distance to the bottom of the sea, a special case of ...

  4. Frog hearing and communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_hearing_and_communication

    It is now considered an important example of the neural basis of animal behavior, because of the simplicity of the sounds, the relative ease with which neurophysiological recordings can be made from the auditory nerve, and the reliability of localization behavior. Acoustic communication is essential for the frog's survival in both territorial ...

  5. Sound localization in owls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization_in_owls

    ITD occurs whenever the distance from the source of sound to the two ears is different, resulting in differences in the arrival times of the sound at the two ears. When the sound source is directly in front of the owl, there is no ITD, i.e. the ITD is zero. In sound localization, ITDs are used as cues for location in the azimuth.

  6. Sound (geography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_(geography)

    In geography, a sound is a smaller body of water usually connected to a sea or an ocean. A sound may be an inlet that is deeper than a bight and wider than a fjord ; or a narrow sea channel or an ocean channel between two land masses, such as a strait ; or also a lagoon between a barrier island and the mainland.

  7. Echoic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echoic_memory

    This echoic sound resonates in the mind and is replayed for this brief amount of time shortly after being heard. [4] Echoic memory encodes only moderately primitive aspects of the stimuli, for example pitch, which specifies localization to the non-association brain regions.

  8. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    For example, sound moving through wind will have its speed of propagation increased by the speed of the wind if the sound and wind are moving in the same direction. If the sound and wind are moving in opposite directions, the speed of the sound wave will be decreased by the speed of the wind. The viscosity of the medium.

  9. 3D sound reconstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3d_sound_reconstruction

    3D sound reconstruction is the application of reconstruction techniques to 3D sound localization technology. These methods of reconstructing three- dimensional sound are used to recreate sounds to match natural environments and provide spatial cues of the sound source.
