"In a reverberant environment, sounds reach the ears through several
paths. Although the direct sound is followed by multiple reflections,
which would be audible in isolation, the first-arriving wavefront
dominates many aspects of perception. The "precedence effect" refers
to a group of phenomena that are thought to be involved in resolving
competition for perception and localization between a direct sound
and a reflection. "
