Fig. 56.1 Seating layout of the virtual restaurant Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were measured using an adaptive method similar to that used by Hawley et al. (2004) in which listeners…
Fig. 48.1 Sketch of stimulus configuration in the frequency domain Twenty-one listeners (21–47 years, mean 25 years, 12 females) participated in the study. None of the listeners had a history…
Fig. 41.1 Cortical reconstruction of each of two competing speech streams. (a) The correlation between neural reconstruction and the actual envelope of each speaker (filled and hollow symbols for attended…
Fig. 37.1 Spectro-temporal receptive fields estimated from recordings of six example units, numbered 1-6 (a) and 2-dimensional Gabor functions (b) used to extract relevant information from time-frequency representations of speech…
Fig. 35.1 Echo-acoustic sensitivity to target range. Colour bars represent performances of individual subjects To solve this task, subjects produced relatively short vocalisations (tongue clicks) with durations between 3 and…
Fig. 33.1 The top panel shows N 0 S 0 (circles) and N 0 S π (squares) thresholds as a function of the frequency separation between target and noise masker…
Fig. 15.1 Schematic spectrograms of the stimuli used for the symmetric condition (top) and asymmetric condition (bottom). See text for details A major motivation for this study was to provide…
Fig. 34.1 Top-view schematic examples of the potential spatial percepts of an acoustic scene with a point source presented in front of the listener. Panel a shows a punctate percept…
Fig. 8.1 Average signal detection thresholds for five participants as a function of the masker/precursor level (a). The open circles show the thresholds for the masker alone, the filled squares…
Fig. 29.1 Target azimuth tuning functions of one IC neuron under altered-cue and standard conditions for a single source (a) and with a central interferer (b). (c) Target ITD tuning…
