Free-field acoustic stimulation: a reliable, inexpensive system for positioning loudspeaker.
We describe a single mechanical system for locating a sound source anywhere on the surface of an imaginary sphere centred on an animal subject. The system has been used in neurophysiological studies of localization in guinea-pig and example neural data are shown.
