Fig. 59.1 Temporal coherence model. The mixture (sum of one male and one female sentences) is transformed into an auditory spectrogram. Various features are extracted from the spectrogram including a…

Fig. 16.1 Percentage of correct responses in the melody-discrimination task. Error bars show 95 % confidence intervals 2.3 Discussion The results suggest that tones above 6 kHz can elicit a…

Fig. 46.1 Two principal components were extracted, each consisting of a single frequency profile (left) and corresponding spatial maps for both subject groups (right). The first component (PC1, top) summarized…

(32.1) with parameters n  =  4, φ  =  π/2 and a  =  1, b  =  1.018, leads to a basilar-membrane impulse response (BM IR) description for the human auditory filter….

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…
