This review addresses the putative role of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex in
psychophysical masking and intensity resolution in humans. A framework for interpreting …

In this paper, the auditory model developed by Dau, Kollmeier, and Kohlrausch [(1997). J.
Acoust. Soc. Am. 102, 2892–2905] was used to simulate the perceptual similarity between …

A number of auditory models have been developed using diverging approaches, either
physiological or perceptual, but they share comparable stages of signal processing, as they …

This study presents a major update and full evaluation of a speech intelligibility (SI)
prediction model previously introduced by Scheidiger, Carney, Dau, and Zaar [(2018), Acta …

Hearing in noise is a core problem in audition, and a challenge for hearing-impaired
listeners, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We explored whether …

The mammalian cochlea achieves its remarkable sensitivity, frequency selectivity, and
dynamic range by spatially segregating the different frequency components of sound via …

Psychophysical models often begin with a bank of filters and assume that the energy in the
filter outputs is the basis for coding complex sounds. The filter bandwidths are estimated …

Temporal envelope fluctuations are abundant in nature and are critical for perception of
complex sounds. While psychophysical sinusoidal amplitude modulation (SAM) processing …

This paper reviews the hypothesis of harmonic cancellation according to which an
interfering sound is suppressed or canceled on the basis of its harmonicity (or periodicity in …

The nonlinearities of the inner ear are often considered to be obstacles that the central
nervous system has to overcome to decode neural responses to sounds. This review …
