auditory motion perception

Auditory motion perception is the brain’s ability to detect and interpret the movement of sound sources in space. When sounds move, they create subtle changes in timing, loudness, and how they are filtered by our ears’ outer structures. Our brain compares these differences between both ears to determine the direction and speed of moving sounds. This process allows us to perceive sounds as coming from different locations and moving through our environment, helping us navigate, locate objects, and react appropriately to our surroundings.
