Delocalization

Delocalization, a form of the ubiquity effect, implies recognition of an error in localizing a sound source. As with the ubiquity effect, the listener does not know where the sound comes from; however, with the delocalization effect, the listener knows exactly where the sound seems to come from, while at the same time being conscious that it is an illusion. There can be delocalization without ubiquity, but there cannot be ubiquity without delocalization.
