HRTF. (A) Arrival of a sound wave at the outer ear and the generation of a series of secondary waves due to reflection in the auricle. (B) Each sound wave that reaches the ear thus generates a different set of reflected waves, depending on its original orientation. Using this relationship, our auditory system is able to reconstruct the origin of the sound by analyzing the set of waves that reach the eardrum.
