This article describes a model of loudness for time-varying sounds that incorporates the
concept of binaural inhibition, namely, that the signal applied to one ear can reduce the …

This book systematically details the basic principles and applications of head-related
transfer function (HRTF) and virtual auditory display (VAD), and reviews the latest …

This article reviews the evolution of a series of models of loudness developed in Cambridge,
UK. The first model, applicable to stationary sounds, was based on modifications of the …

Sound Reproduction: The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms,
Third Edition explains the physical and perceptual processes that are involved in sound …

A survey of data on the perception of binaurally presented sounds indicates that loudness
summation across ears is less than perfect; a diotic sound is less than twice as loud as the …

Objectives: Normalizing perceived loudness is an important rationale for gain adjustments in
hearing aids. It has been demonstrated that gains required for restoring normal loudness …

One of the most thrilling cultural experiences is to hear live symphony-orchestra music build
up from a whispering passage to a monumental fortissimo. The impact of such a crescendo …

A new method for calculating auditory excitation patterns and loudness for steady sounds is
described. The method is based on a nonlinear filterbank in which each filter is the sum of a …

Objectives: Literature reviews of binaural loudness summation assume nearly perfect
summation (ie, a tone presented binaurally is assumed to be twice as loud as the same tone …

This paper describes some experimental tests and modifications to a model of loudness for
time-varying sounds incorporating the concept of binaural inhibition. Experiment 1 examined …
