As audio reproduction systems evolve to incorporate many loudspeakers, the potential to evoke faithful auditory spatial impressions increases. Psychoacoustic principles of auditory spatial perception, and methods for production and reproduction of acoustic ...
Several computational challenges arise when evaluating the failure probability of a given system in the context of risk prediction or reliability analysis. When the dimension of the uncertainties becomes high, well established direct numerical methods can ...
This research addresses the challenge of incorporating dynamic range limiting of the magnitude response of HRTFs for hearing-impaired listeners who are using binaural hearing aids. In this application, a direct implementation of spatialization using the or ...
An analysis of a multiscale symmetric interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the numerical discretization of elliptic problems with multiple scales is proposed. This new method, first described in [A. Abdulle, C.R. Acad. Sci. Par ...
A new finite element method for the efficient discretization of elliptic homogenization problems is proposed. These problems, characterized by data varying over a wide range of scales cannot be easily solved by classical numerical methods that need mesh re ...
In search and rescue missions, Micro Air Vehicles (MAV's) can assist rescuers to faster locate victims inside a large search area and to coordinate their efforts. Acoustic signals play an important role in outdoor rescue operations. Emergency whistles, as ...
The ability of human auditory systems to focus on one signal and ignore other signals in an auditory scene where several auditory events are taking place, often referred to as cocktail-party effect, is a key to localization of sound sources. This ability i ...
This paper presents a concept of sensorless electroacoustic absorber for damping the low-frequency modes in a cavity such as a duct or a room. Taking advantage of the reciprocity of the voice coil transducer, it is shown that a synthetic electrical admitta ...
The characteristic of effective properties of physical processes in heterogeneous media is a basic modeling and computational problem for many applications. As standard numerical discretization of such multiscale problems (e.g. with classical finite elemen ...
Approaching or looming sounds (L-sounds) have been shown to selectively increase visual cortex excitability [Romei, V., Murray, M. M., Cappe, C., & Thut, G. Preperceptual and stimulus-selective enhancement of low-level human visual cortex excitability by s ...
