Replication and Extension of Human Sensory Capabilities in Hearing.

Abstract

The human auditory system is investigated to determine the parameters necessary to design a remote auditory system. Special attention is given to the development of human localization and unaided echolocation skills. Monaural and binaural localization are examined, as well as dummy head design, and design considerations for an underwater auditory system. Finally, active sonar systems are discussed in terms of their applicability to human sensory capabilities in hearing. (Author)
