Download or read book Auditory Processing of Complex Sounds written by William A. Yost and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, this book is the result of a workshop on the processing of complex sounds held in 1986. All of the important contributions that are being made to understanding auditory processing of complex sounds could not be included in a single volume. However, the chapters do touch base with many of the lines of research and theory on complex sound and its perception at the time, and was felt that they should provide both food for thought and a broad introduction to the literature on a topic that the editors were sure would be studied intensely in the following couple of decades.

Download or read book Processing of relevant characteristics of complex sounds in normal hearing listeners and cochlear implant users written by Wiebke Heeren and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The auditory processing of complex signals is not yet fully understood making a clearer insight into auditory system processes worth aspiring to. One approach for this purpose is to gain a better understanding of the relations between physical parameters and hearing sensations by means of psychoacoustics. Suitable measures such as loudness help to characterize the perception of sound leading to more sophisticated loudness models which could be useful in optimizing hearing devices such as cochlear implants. The scope of this thesis therefore is the suprathreshold perception of sounds with different spectral, temporal and spatial content in normal-hearing listeners and cochlear implant users. Among others, this covers the applicability of categorical loudness scaling as a fast procedure to assess partial loudness as well as binaural and spatial hearing in cochlear implant users in a free-field measurement setup providing realistic spatial cues.
Download or read book Central Auditory Processing and Neural Modeling written by Paul F. Poon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The full power of combining experiment and theory has yet to be unleashed on studies of the neural mechanisms in the brain involved in acoustic information processing. In recent years, enormous amounts of physiological data have been generated in many laboratories around the world, characterizing electrical responses of neurons to a wide array of acoustic stimuli at all levels of the auditory neuroaxis. Modern approaches of cellular and molecular biology are leading to new understandings of synaptic transmission of acoustic information, while application of modern neuro-anatomical methods is giving us a fairly comprehensive view ofthe bewildering complexity of neural circuitry within and between the major nuclei of the central auditory pathways. Although there is still the need to gather more data at all levels of organization, a ma jor challenge in auditory neuroscience is to develop new frameworks within which existing and future data can be incorporated and unified, and which will guide future laboratory ex perimentation. Here the field can benefit greatly from neural modeling, which in the central auditory system is still in its infancy. Indeed, such an approach is essential if we are to address questions related to perception of complex sounds including human speech, to the many di mensions of spatial hearing, and to the mechanisms that underlie complex acoustico-motor behaviors.
Download or read book Hearing Loss written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.
Download or read book Auditory Signal Processing written by Daniel Pressnitzer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-14 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the papers that were presented at the XIIIth International Symposium on Hearing (ISH), which was held in Dourdan, France, between August 24 and 29, 2003. From its first edition in 1969, the Symposium has had a distinguished tradition of bringing together auditory psychologists and physiologists. Hearing science now also includes computational modeling and brain imaging, and this is reflected in the papers collected. The rich interactions between participants during the meeting were yet another indication of the appositeness of the original idea to confront approaches around shared scientific issues. A total of 62 solicited papers are included, organized into 12 broad thematic areas ranging from cochlear signal processing to plasticity and perceptual learning. The themes follow the sessions and the chronological order of the paper presentations during the symposium. A notable feature of the ISH books is the transcription of the discussions between participants. A draft version of the book is circulated before the meeting, and all participants are invited to make written comments, before or during the presentations. This particularity is perhaps what makes the ISH book series so valuable as a truthful picture of the evolution of issues in hearing science. We tried to uphold this tradition, which was all the easier because of the excellent scientific content of the discussions.
Download or read book Auditory Processing of Complex Sounds Across Frequency Channels written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our work has centered on the discovery of the MDI or Modulation Detection Interference phenomenon, in which the modulation properties of tonal components in multi-tone complexes can not be processed when all the tones are modulated at the same low modulation rate as well as when the tones are not modulated or when the modulation rates differ for different components. We have argued that MDI results from the fact that the coherent modulation of all of the components fuse them into a single auditory image, and since coherent modulation was the basis of the perceptual fusion, temporal modulation for any one tone is not easily processed. We recently tested a corollary to this assumption. That is, when tonal complexes are fused into an auditory image based on coherent temporal modulation and MDI occurs, can subjects still process other attributes of the tones (e.g. changes in frequency and intensity) since these other attributes were not the basis for the tones being fused into a single image.

Download or read book Workshop on Complex Sound Processing Held in Sarasota Florida on 26 28 April 1986 written by William Yost and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The workshop was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Life Sciences, and was chaired by the editors of this book. A series of recent events led to the workshop and publication of this book. In 1982, Dr. John Tangney of AFOSR approached the Committee on Hearing, Bioacoustics Biomechancis (CHABA) of the National Academy of Sciences to survey recent developments an d trends in the study of the auditory system. The result of the request from AFOSR was 1983 Symposium on Basic Research in Hearing organized by CHABA and sponsored by the AFOSR (Dolan and Yost, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 78, No. 1 Part 2, 1985). After reviewing the proceedings of the CHABA Symposium and considering its program goals, AFOSR began, in 1985, a program of support for research on complex auditory perception. The support by the AFOSR, the discussions at the CHABA Symposium, and the increased volume of research on the topic of auditory processing of complex sounds stimulated us to organize a meeting on this topic. With the support of the AFOSR the Sarasota Workshop on Auditory Processing of Complex Sounds was held in April, 1986.
