Directional hearing: effect of unilateral change of the sound duration.
Monaural change of the duration of a binaural acoustic stimulus within the range of 0.5 to 1.5 milliseconds caused a considerable shift of the sound image. This could be counterbalanced by a unilateral change of the signal intensity. Further unilateral lengthening of the stimulus did not affect the sound localization, but it revealed a masking aftereffect (4 to 10 milliseconds) of the binaural signal. The data define the temporal characteristics of binaural effect influenced the binaural interaction.
