Stereo
Sound consists of a vacuum cleaner hose bent into a U-shape
with and earpiece at each end. One visitor holds the earpieces
up to his or her ears and another taps the hose with a stick.
When the tap is off-center, most people have a very clear
sense that the sound comes from a place to one side of the
head or the other, although the sound comes to both ears.
Even though the time delay is very brief, our ear-brain system
can detect it. This demonstrates how we are able to locate
the sources of sounds as accurately as we do.
