Sound, features, and perception

Mining Videos for Features that Drive Attention

Certain features of a video capture human attention and this can be measured by recording eye movements of a viewer. Using this technique combined with extraction of various types of features from video frames, one can begin to understand what features of a video may drive attention. In this chapter we define and assess different types of feature channels that canbe computed fromvideo frames, a...

Features Based on Auditory Physiology and Perception

It is well known that human speech processing capabilities far surpass the capabilities of current automatic speech recognition and related technologies, despite very intensive research in automated speech technologies in recent decades. Indeed, since the early 1980’s, this observation has motivated the development of speech recognition feature extraction approaches that are inspired by auditor...

The sound of consciousness: neural underpinnings of auditory perception.

The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC), i.e., patterns of brain activity that specifically accompany a particular conscious experience, have been investigated mainly in the visual system using particularly suited paradigms, such as binocular rivalry and multistable percepts in combination with neural recordings or neuroimaging. Through the same principles, we look here for possible NCC in...
