Perception of Auditory Distance in Normal-Hearing and Moderate-to-Profound Hearing-Impaired Listeners

Hervé Lissek, Gilles André Courtois, Vincent Pierre Olivier Grimaldi

The auditory system allows the estimation of the distance to sound-emitting objects using multiple spatial cues. In virtual acoustics over headphones, a prerequisite to render auditory distance impression is sound externalization, which denotes the percept ...

Neural encoding of auditory features during music perception and imagery

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Stéphanie Martin

Despite many behavioral and neuroimaging investigations, it remains unclear how the human cortex represents spectrotemporal sound features during auditory imagery, and how this representation compares to auditory perception. To assess this, we recorded ele ...

No need to shout: Effect of signal loudness on sibling communication in barn owls

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli, Dorian Cazau

In animal communication, signal loudness is often ignored and seldom measured. We used a playback experiment to examine the role of vocal loudness (i.e., sound pressure level) in sibling to sibling communication of nestling barn owls Tyto alba. In this spe ...

This thesis deals with signal-based methods that predict how listeners perceive speech quality in telecommunications. Such tools, called objective quality measures, are of great interest in the telecommunications industry to evaluate how new or deployed sy ...

Evaluation of audio source separation in the context of 3D audio

Lukas Rohr

The emergence and broader availability of 3D audio systems allows for new possibilities in mixing, post-production and playback of audio content. Used in movie post-production for cinemas, as special effect by disk jockeys for example and even for live con ...

Spectral Noise Shaping: Improvements in Speech/Audio Codec Based on Linear Prediction in Spectral Domain

Petr Motlicek, Hynek Hermansky, Sriram Ganapathy

Audio coding based on Frequency Domain Linear Prediction (FDLP) uses auto-regressive models to approximate Hilbert envelopes in frequency sub-bands. Although the basic technique achieves good coding efficiency, there is a need to improve the reconstructed ...
