We describe a computational algorithm for measuring multiple delays and intensity differences in binaural hearing. Absolute time delays are obtained using differences in phase and instantaneous frequency from complex-valued bandpass filtering. Assuming that independent sources differ in frequency, we obtain constraints and estimates for the multiple delays of the acoustic signals.
