Historically, central auditory responses have been studied for their sensitivity to various
parameters of tone and noise burst stimulation, with response rate plotted as a function of …

Rising acoustic intensity can indicate movement of a sound source toward a listener.
Perceptual overestimation of intensity change could provide a selective advantage by …

The present study uses a systems engineering approach to delineate the relationship
between tinnitus and hyperacusis as a result of either hearing loss in the ear or an …

Tinnitus is a sound heard by 15% of the general population in the absence of any external
sound. Because external sounds can sometimes mask tinnitus, tinnitus is assumed to affect …

Reports of sensory disturbance, such as loudness sensitivity or sound intolerance, are
ubiquitous in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) but a mechanistic explanation for these …

This chapter reviews progress that points to the exciting potential in studies of behavioral
development. The goal is twofold: to review common trends in psychoacoustic data from …

The perception of stimuli with ramped envelopes (gradual attack and abrupt decay) and
damped envelopes (abrupt attack and gradual decay) was studied in subjective and …

Two experiments demonstrate that the perceived durations of sounds as long as 1 sec are
influenced by the sounds' amplitude envelopes, extending Schlauch, Ries, and DiGiovanni's …

The loudness of a sound depends, among other parameters, on its temporal shape. Different
loudness models were proposed to account for temporal aspects in loudness perception. To …

Three experiments showed that dynamic frequency change influenced loudness. Listeners
heard tones that had concurrent frequency and intensity change and tracked loudness while …
