Abstract
The concept of what constitutes an auditory object is controversial (Kubovy & Van Valkenburg, 2001; Griffi ths & Warren, 2004; Nelken, 2004). It is more difficult to examine the sound pressure waveform that enters the cochlea and “see” different objects in the same way that we “see” objects in the visual input to the retina. However, in both the auditory system and the visual system, objects can be understood in terms of the “images” they produce during the processing of sense data. The idea that objects are mental events that result from the creation of images from sense data goes back to Kant (1929). Visual images, representations in the visual brain corresponding to objects, can be understood as having two spatial dimensions.
