The role of the pinna in human localization
نویسنده
چکیده
The pinna, or ex ternal ear, has been shown experim entally to perform an acoustical tran sfo r m ation essential to localization in hum an hearing. The m athem atical form of th e tran sfo rm a tion is given, the inverse to the transform ation is shown to exist, and a theory of localization constructed from the evidence. The theory is extended to reverberation and o ther facets of hum an hearing. The basic theorem applied to the study is 6 in order to know, th e inverse to the transform ation of perception m ust be construc ted ’.

Role of Pinna Cavities in Median Plane Localization
Sound localization tes(s and WFS measurements in the median plane were carried OUI under [he conditions of progressively occluding three pinna cavities: scapha, fossa, and conchs, The results show that [he spectral cue in median plane localization is mainly formed by conchs.
متن کاملLupus Vulgaris of the Pinna-A Case Report
Introduction: Lupus vulgaris is the most common form of cutaneous tuberculosis caused by contiguous spread from an underlying infective focus or lymphatic or hematogenous spread. It can also develop at the site of direct inoculation (e.g., tattooing and ear piercing) or Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccination. The solitary involvement of the pinna is rare and may face clinicians with a diagn...

متن کاملTraumatic Partial Avulsion of Pinna Reconstruction with Limberg Flap
Traumatic injuries of ear range from simple lacerations to complex avulsions and crush injuries. The complicating factors involved are cartilage involvement, poor vascularity of the region and need for high cosmetic satisfaction. Various techniques have been described for reconstruction of earlobe after traumatic injuries. Here, we describe the reconstruction of a partially avulsed pinna using ...
متن کاملA Neuromorphic Monaural Sound Localizer
We describe the first single microphone sound localization system and its inspiration from theories of human monaural sound localization. Reflections and diffractions caused by the external ear (pinna) allow humans to estimate sound source elevations using only one ear. Our single microphone localization model relies on a specially shaped reflecting structure that serves the role of the pinna. ...
