The Cone of Confusion
What, roughly, is the range of frequencies humans can hear in daily life?
What’s the difference between a perceptual limen and a perceptual limit?
What is a ‘critical bandwidth’?
Why do linguists and hearing scientists sometimes use Mel or Bark scales instead of Hz?
Note: You do not need to know the formula for Mel or Bark
How are Interaural Timing Differences used for localization? On what axis?
How are Interaural Amplitude Differences used for localization? On what axis?
Why is the Pinna helpful for localization?
What are ways in which human hearing is non-linear?
