[Legacy Report] Hearing vs. signal Processing

---

In the production and broadcast worlds, we see a lot of various kinds of
signal processing, both linear and nonlinear. While the discussion of
loudness and broadcast is important, this talk will be about the spatial
hearing cues that the auditory system can actually detect, and how
signal processing can be used to affect spatial sensation. The talk will
briefly detail the auditory system, referring to 100+ years of research
by many people at a high level. Along with this, various signal
processing methods will be mentioned that do or do not create various of
the sensations. Along the way, the difficulties with headphone
auralization and envelopment will be covered at a high level. There will
be quite a few obvious places where more research is called for.
