Navigating Through Sound
⏱️ 15 min | Gain an understanding of sound localization and the role of the ears and the eyes for complete sensory input.
This course explores how our sensory systems, particularly vision and hearing, allow us to navigate our environment effectively. Learn about the dominance of vision, the mechanics of sound localization, and the role of saccadic eye movements in responding to sensory stimuli. By the course's end, you'll appreciate the intricate interplay between these systems, enhancing your understanding of sensory perception and spatial awareness in the world around you. CEU/CPD: SAC 0.25H | CAA 0.25H
Understand the role of sensory systems, particularly vision and hearing, in processing and responding to environmental stimuli.
Explore the mechanisms of sound localization, including interaural time differences and interaural level differences, and their significance in helping us locate sounds in space.
Examine the relationship between saccadic eye movements, sensory cues, and reaction times, and how the brain processes visual and auditory information to respond effectively to various stimuli in the environment.
