Yes this is for localization ---clicks are broadband, you need to identify which freq components are used. I still think humans can't discriminate the phase of a tone. In fact, MP3s use this to cut bits. >> You doing owl-type studies on auditory localization? Audio-visual >> mapping >> and plasticity?

I was thinking prism-glasses maybe bolted on that translate the vis field. Its ok for undergrads so its ok for cats. After the experiments, the cats will be ok, as I assume they're sufficiently plastic, unless you do brain staining on them. :-( Or your policy is the Tim McVeigh treatment. Cool stuff, though my domestic feline wants to know where you live. PS: have you identified the "can opener sound" brain-center yet? ---- Cats manage biometrics and reputation better than most human systems..
