Book Speech Processing in the Auditory System

Download or read book Speech Processing in the Auditory System written by Steven Greenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-09 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although speech is the primary behavioral medium by which humans communicate, its auditory basis is poorly understood, having profound implications on efforts to ameliorate the behavioral consequences of hearing impairment and on the development of robust algorithms for computer speech recognition. In this volume, the authors provide an up-to-date synthesis of recent research in the area of speech processing in the auditory system, bringing together a diverse range of scientists to present the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective. Of particular concern is the ability to understand speech in uncertain, potentially adverse acoustic environments, currently the bane of both hearing aid and speech recognition technology. There is increasing evidence that the perceptual stability characteristic of speech understanding is due, at least in part, to elegant transformations of the acoustic signal performed by auditory mechanisms. As a comprehensive review of speech's auditory basis, this book will interest physiologists, anatomists, psychologists, phoneticians, computer scientists, biomedical and electrical engineers, and clinicians.

Book Hearing impaired Children s Discrimination of Filtered Speech

Download or read book Hearing impaired Children s Discrimination of Filtered Speech written by Carletta H. Aston and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The learning effects under filtered and unfiltered listening conditions for ten severely hearing-impaired children were investigated using minimal pair distinctions. Significant learning occurred under both listening conditions, but there was no significant difference between performance with filtered and unfiltered speech. Subjects were able to learn distinctions based on gross spectral and durational cues, but no learning occurred when minimal pair distinctions depended on relatively subtle spectral differences. It was concluded that these deaf children did not have access to compensatory cues apparently used by hard-of-hearing adults in speech discrimination."--

Book Auditory and Visual Sensations

Download or read book Auditory and Visual Sensations written by Yoichi Ando and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-08 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ando establishes a theory of subjective preference of the sound field in a concert hall, based on preference theory with a model of human auditory- brain system. The model uses the autocorrelation function and the interaural crosscorrelation function for signals arriving at two ear entrances and considers the specialization of human cerebral hemispheres. The theory may be applied to describe primary sensations such as pitch or missing fundamental, loudness, timbre, and duration. The theory may also be applied to visual sensations as well as subjective preference of visual environments. Remarkable findings in activities in both auditory-brain and visual-brain systems in relation to subjective preference as a primitive response are described.

Book Auditory Temporal Processing and its Disorders

Download or read book Auditory Temporal Processing and its Disorders written by Jos J. Eggermont and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Auditory temporal processing' determines our understanding of speech, our appreciation of music, our ability to localize a sound source, and even to listen to a person in a noisy crowd. Sound is dynamic and as such has temporal and spectral content. In disorders such as auditory neuropathy and MS, problems can occur with these temporal representations of sound, leading to a mismatch between auditory sensitivity and speech discrimination. In dyslexia, specific language impairment, and auditory processing disorders, similar problems occur early in life and set up additional cognitive speech processing problems. It has also been found that in disorders such as autism, schizophrenia and epilepsy, temporal processing deficits can occur. This book reviews comprehensively the mechanisms for temporal processing in the auditory system, looking at how these underlie specific clinical disorders, with implications for their treatment. Written by a prolific researcher in auditory neuroscience, this book is valuable for auditory neuroscientists, audiologist, neurologists, and speech language pathologists.

Book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease

Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Book Noise and the Brain

  • Author : Jos J. Eggermont
  • Publisher : Academic Press
  • Release : 2013-09-12
  • ISBN : 0123914310
  • Pages : 393 pages

Download or read book Noise and the Brain written by Jos J. Eggermont and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our industrialized world, we are surrounded by occupational, recreational, and environmental noise. Very loud noise damages the inner-ear receptors and results in hearing loss, subsequent problems with communication in the presence of background noise, and, potentially, social isolation. There is much less public knowledge about the noise exposure that produces only temporary hearing loss but that in the long term results in hearing problems due to the damage of high-threshold auditory nerve fibers. Early exposures of this kind, such as in neonatal intensive care units, manifest themselves at a later age, sometimes as hearing loss but more often as an auditory processing disorder. There is even less awareness about changes in the auditory brain caused by repetitive daily exposure to the same type of low-level occupational or musical sound. This low-level, but continuous, environmental noise exposure is well known to affect speech understanding, produce non-auditory problems ranging from annoyance and depression to hypertension, and to cause cognitive difficulties. Additionally, internal noise, such as tinnitus, has effects on the brain similar to low-level external noise.Noise and the Brain discusses and provides a synthesis of hte underlying brain mechanisms as well as potential ways to prvent or alleviate these aberrant brain changes caused by noise exposure. - Authored by one of the preeminent leaders in the field of hearing research - Emphasizes direct and indirect changes in brain function as a result of noise exposure - Provides a comprehensive and evidence-based approach - Addresses both developmental and adult plasticity - Includes coverage of epidemiology, etiology, and genetics of hearing problems; effects of non-damaging sound on both the developing and adult brain; non-auditory effects of noise; noise and the aging brain; and more
