Perception Studies on the Attributes of Synthetic Clear Speech for the Hard of Hearing

We make a case for ‘synthetic clear speech’ in the context of the persons with hearing impairment. We study the acoustic attributes of ‘clear speech’ that enable us to understand their importance in speech perception. Our perception experiments are motivat ...

Auditory motion affects visual biological motion processing

Olaf Blanke, Aude Billard, Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony

The processing of biological motion is a critical, everyday task performed with remarkable efficiency by human sensory systems. Interest in this ability has focused to a large extent on biological motion processing in the visual modality (see, for example, ...

Resonant neurons and bushcricket behaviour

Auke Ijspeert, Jonas Buchli

The resonant properties of the intrinsic dynamics of single neurons could play a direct role in behaviour. One plausible role is in the recognition of temporal patterns, such as that seen in the auditory communication systems of Orthoptera. Recent behaviou ...

Collaborating Hearing Aids

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy

Hearing aids are electronic, battery-operated sensing devices which aim at compensating various kinds of hearing impairments by means of appropriate signal processing. Most of today's hearing aid systems consist of two appliances working independently of e ...

Discriminant linear processing of time-frequency plane

Hynek Hermansky, Fabio Valente

Extending previous works done on considerably smaller data sets, the paper studies linear discriminant analysis of about 30 hours of phoneme-labeled speech data in the time-frequency domain. Analysis is carried both independently in time and frequency and ...

New implantable hearing device based on a micro-actuator that is directly coupled to the inner ear fluid

Yves Perriard, Hans Bernhard

A new hearing therapy called Direct Acoustical Cochlear Stimulation (DACS) was developed and validated in a first clinical trial with four patients. The key component of this therapy based on an implantable hearing device is a micro-actuator that is implan ...

Spatio-Temporal Sampling and Distributed Compression of the Sound Field

Martin Vetterli, Emre Telatar, Luciano Sbaiz, Olivier Roy, Thibaut Ajdler, Robert Konsbruck

We investigate how the sound field induced by an acoustic event evolves over space and time. The characteristics of its bidimensional Fourier spectrum are analyzed and spatio-temporal sampling results using an array of microphones are provided for differen ...

Human auditory belt areas specialized in sound recognition: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Dragana Viceic

The human primary auditory cortex is surrounded by at least six other, anatomically distinct areas that process auditory information. We have investigated their specialization with respect to sound recognition or sound localization with triple epoch functi ...
