Solution
the auditory system has so many stages which changes the intensity of sound before reaching the auditory cortex. these intensity differences are produced in cells of lateral superior olivery complexm and timing difference in the medial superior olivary complexm. human detects timing difference between the left and right ear down to 10 micro se correspondind to difference in soud location of 1 deg. this comparison of sound information from both ear allow the determination of thec direction where the sound came from.
