Ss wearing a pseudophone which produced functional rotation of the interaural axis sat motionless watching a sound-source move in an arc in front of their bodies. After short exposures, significant adaptive compensation for this auditory re-arrangement was measured. An interpretation is suggested in terms of the resolution of intersensory discordance.
