I once had a piece played atspatial audio concert and some people came to visit. Afterwards one guy came up to me and said - the sound was right there - right there in front of my face ! Was it ambionics ? Im pretty sure he just heard what he expected or hoped to hear - simply because he thought it was "ambisonics" and thats what he expected. I didnt get os dramatic an effect and I made it ! I think a really good related example of this sort of thing is WALLACH, H. (1940) The role of head movements and vestibular and visual cues in sound localization. Journal of Experimental Psychology, 27, 339-368.,,,, which demonstrates that visual cues can completely overide audio cues when it comes to sound localisation. Im beginning to think that people often hear what they believe they are going to hear and that the context in which you put the sounds can be as important as the filtering etc you apply to the sounds.
