Binaural beats are a phenomenon that occurs during dichotic stimulation due to binaural integration. It takes the form of cyclic movement of the sound image in the listener’s acoustic space when the beat frequency range is below 3 Hz. Our subjects used the inserted earphones to listen to the stimuli that created a sense of sound movement due to changes in the interaural time difference (ITD). We used three types of dichotic stimuli which simulated smooth azimuthal cyclic movement and cyclic abrupt shifts. The ITD changes determined central or lateral positions of movement trajectories. The results confirm that both types of movement created the effect of binaural beats. The range of beats depended on the spatial position of the trajectory: in the frontal sector of acoustic space, the range of beats was greater than on the left or right. The perceived trajectories of smooth motion were shorter than the trajectories of abrupt shift. The influence of spatial position on the perceived trajectory length is interpreted from the standpoint of nonlinear features of lateralization. It is suggested that the effect of ITD pattern on the perceived trajectory length is mediated by temporal integration mechanisms of binaural hearing.

Key words: binaural beat, spatial hearing, binaural integration, interaural time difference
