Time and intensity differences are also important in its(*) localization; when cues are impoverished, that can result in a "cone of confusion.
The place coding theory for this phenomenon has received support from the asymmetrical nature of masking functions. Scene analysis in this process is aided by sensitivity to temporal shifts as small as one millisecond and is illustrated by the cocktail party effect. Time and intensity differences are also important in its(*) localization; when cues are impoverished, that can result in a "cone of confusion." The pinnae, ossicles, and cochlea are, for 10 points, organs that are used for what sense, the detection of pressure waves in air performed by the ear?
