Dear all,

I am interested in the impact of audible visual references in sound localisation tasks.

For instance, let's say that you are presented two different continuous sounds (e.g., speech) coming from sources A and B, which are in different locations. While source A is clearly visible to you, B is invisible and you are asked to estimate its location. Will source A act as a spatial reference, helping you in doing a more accurate estimation, or will it be distracting and make the task more difficult?

If anyone can point to some literature on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Isaac Engel
