Examination of binaural interaction.

The study of binarual interaction may be conveniently divided into three areas: anatomy, physiology, and psychology. These areas, while furnishing large amounts of data, have not yet provided enough information to make possible a complete theory of binarual interaction. Several partial theories are discussed, two experiments are reported, the results of the experiments set in perspective, and the problems of the construction of a full theory of binarual interaction are presented. A Bibliography is appended.
