Various types of methods and approaches are available to predict the intelligibility of speech
signals, but many of these still suffer from two major problems: first, their required prior …

Former comparisons of human speech recognition (HSR) and automatic speech recognition
(ASR) have shown that humans outperform ASR systems in nearly all speech recognition …

Mammals exhibit remarkable capability of detecting and localizing sound sources in
complex acoustic environments by using binaural cues in the spiking manner. Emulating the …

Object-based audio is an emerging representation for audio content, where content is
represented in a reproduction-format-agnostic way and, thus, produced once for …

The inter-aural time difference (ITD) is a fundamental cue for human sound localization.
Over the past decades several methods have been proposed for its estimation from …

Fundamental aspects of a method for virtual navigation of a sound field within an array of
ambisonics microphones, wherein the subset of microphones to be used for interpolation is …

The equalization cancellation model is often used to predict the binaural masking level
difference. Previously its application to speech in noise has required separate knowledge …

Sound source localization (SSL) is an important technique for many audio processing
systems, such as speech enhancement/recognition and human-robot interaction. Although …

Humans estimate sound-source directions by combining prior beliefs with sensory evidence.
Prior beliefs represent statistical knowledge about the environment, and the sensory …

Cognition of soundscape information affects an individual's preference and understanding
soundscapes in urban parks. This study explored the cognitive persistence of soundscape …
