Methods
There are three main ways of making a recording that uses this last effect to encode directionality information:
- dummy head recording uses an artificial model of a human head, built from selected acoustic materials to emulate the sound-transmitting characteristics of a real human head, with two microphone inserts embedded at the "eardrum" locations,
- simulated dummy head recording processes a signal electronically to imprint the HRTF information associated with a specified direction, and
- finally, a pair of specially-designed microphones can be worn by a volunteer, fitted inside their ears, to make use of actual intra-cranial acoustics.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“It would be some advantage to live a primitive and frontier life, though in the midst of an outward civilization, if only to learn what are the gross necessaries of life and what methods have been taken to obtain them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All men are equally proud. The only difference is that not all take the same methods of showing it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The philosopher is in advance of his age even in the outward form of his life. He is not fed, sheltered, clothed, warmed, like his contemporaries. How can a man be a philosopher and not maintain his vital heat by better methods than other men?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
