There are two easily reproduced experiments first carried out by prominent members of this group which put these effects into perspective. They are the

Greene/Lee Neckbrace
and
Malham/Van Gogh Experiment

The first shows 'real life' Fixed Head Localisation (which matched HRTFs address) is TERRIBLE. Many people can't even distinguish back/front with perfect (measured on their own noggin) HRTFs ... or even in 'real life' with a Greene/Lee neckbrace. Anyone who has done fixed head localisation experiments finds this out real quick.

The second shows that even the tiniest amount of head movement improves localisation immensely and any ambiguity due to mismatched Pinnae etc (and YES, the pinnae colouration effects are chaotic) are INSTANTLY resolved. No 'training' is necessary with head movement.

Not to forget my Portuguese colleagues:

Learn to use (others') HRTFs!

Learn to use the Force!   :-D =-O
