    Summary

    Listeners can control auditory image movement by adjusting interaural time difference (ITD). This study explores auditory perception and binaural image shifts using a Békésy-type audiometry method.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory Neuroscience
    • Psychoacoustics
    • Human Perception

    Background:

    • Binaural auditory images are formed by sound arriving at both ears.
    • Interaural time difference (ITD) is a key cue for sound localization.
    • Previous research established Békésy audiometry for hearing threshold measurement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamic tracking of auditory perceptual centers.
    • To explore how listeners control and perceive shifts in binaural image location.
    • To examine the impact of monaural masking on binaural image perception.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects controlled a computer-simulated binaural auditory image using ITD.
    • Listeners adjusted the image to maintain a subjective central position.
    • Monaural masking pulses were introduced to shift the binaural image.

    Main Results:

    • Listeners could actively control the perceived location of the binaural image.
    • The study demonstrated a Békésy-type tracing of the auditory perceptual center.
    • Varying masking pulse amplitude and onset time influenced the perceived binaural image shift.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditory perceptual centers can be dynamically traced using ITD manipulation.
    • This method offers insights into auditory spatial perception and localization.
    • Monaural masking effectively shifts binaural image perception, with effects dependent on pulse characteristics.
