摘要：

Just as depth perception requires two eyes, a pair of ears is needed to pinpoint a sound. The brain combines the signals into a unified directional cue. Studies of barn owls, which capture their prey in total darkness by relying on sound alone, have revealed almost every step of this remarkable computational exercise. Humans and other mammals probably process sound in a similar manner.
