Binaural Explained

Binaural literally means "having or relating to two ears." Binaural hearing, along with frequency cues, lets humans and other animals determine the direction and origin of sounds, similar to diotic which is used in psychophysics to describe an auditory stimulus presented to both ears.

Binaural may also refer to:

• Binaural (album), by Pearl Jam
• Binaural beats, auditory processing artifacts
• Binaural recording, a method of recording audio which uses a special stereophonic microphone arrangement
