Visually induced gains in pitch discrimination: Linking audio-visual processing with auditory abilities

Auditory Temporal Processing Abilities in Early Azari-Persian Bilinguals

Introduction: Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering are two major components of the auditory temporal processing abilities that contribute to speech perception and language development. Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering can be evaluated by gap-in-noise (GIN) and pitch-pattern-sequence (PPS) tests, respectively. In this survey, the effect of biling...

Effective visually-derived Wiener filtering for audio-visual speech processing

This work presents a novel approach to speech enhancement by exploiting the bimodality of speech and the correlation that exists between audio and visual speech features. For speech enhancement, a visually-derived Wiener filter is developed. This obtains clean speech statistics from visual features by modelling their joint density and making a maximum a posteriori estimate of clean audio from v...

Quantification of shared capacity processing in auditory and visual discrimination.

Auditory Lateralization Ability in Children with (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the auditory lateralization ability in children with (central) auditory processing disorder. Methods: Participants were divided in two groups: 15 children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (8-10 years) and 80 normal children (8-11 years) from both genders with pure-tone air-conduction thresholds better than 20 dB HL bilaterally a...

cortical auditory temporal processing abilities in elderly listeners

background and aim: this study investigated whether objective temporal processing paradigms including voice-onset-time, speech-in-noise, and amplitude modulated-broad-band noise (am-bbn) are sensitive to disrupted temporal processing in elderly listeners with normal hearing (age-related-temporal processing deficit). methods: we evaluated 15 adults aged 64–80 years using behavioural measures of ...
