Large individual differences are relatively common in human perception. Spatial hearing is not an exception; for instance, two listeners can perceive the same auditory target to be at very different spatial locations. Such variability cannot be considered as mere experimental noise but as true data that we have to use for explaining the mechanisms underlying the perception of auditory space. The 22 papers of this research topic explore individual differences in almost every aspect of auditory space perception.
