OPTIC AND AUDITORY PERCEPTION CENTERS

Auditory Perception and Spatial Auditory Systems4

This paper reviews the perceptual and technical literature relevant to the generation of accurate acoustic displays for virtual environments. Beginning with an introduction to the process of human auditory perception, this paper critically examines common sound generation methods and techniques and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The financial support of NSERC, NCE, IRIS, CRESTech...

Auditory Perception and Spatial (3D) Auditory Systems

In order to enable the user of a virtual reality system to be fully immersed in the virtual environment, the user must be presented with believable sensory input. Although the majority of virtual environments place the emphasis on visual cues, replicating the complex interactions of sound within an environment will benefit the level of immersion and hence the user’s sense of presence. Three dim...

Optic flow and depth perception.

The field of depth recovery from optic flow has recently experienced much growth, both on the theoretical and on the empirical fronts. Unfortunately, the theoretical results are not as widely known to perception workers as they might be. This article gives a simple analysis of the information for depth present in optic flow. It also reviews the psychophysical results for depth recovery from mot...

Auditory Perception and Verbal Intelligibility in Children with Cochlear Implant, Hearing Aids and Normal Hearing

Objective: The aim of the present research was to compare the auditory perception and verbal intelligibility in children with cochlear implant, hearing aids and normal hearing. Methods: 60 children aged 5-7 years were divided to three groups and each group contained 20 children. The first and second groups were selected ordinarily from children with cochlear implant and hearing aids by conve...
