Role of Pinna Cavities in Median Plane Localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sound localization tes(s and WFS measurements in the median plane were carried OUI under [he conditions of progressively occluding three pinna cavities: scapha, fossa, and conchs, The results show that [he spectral cue in median plane localization is mainly formed by conchs.

Mechanism for generating peaks and notches of head-related transfer functions in the median plane.
It has been suggested that the first spectral peak and the first two spectral notches of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are cues for sound localization in the median plane. Therefore, to examine the mechanism for generating spectral peaks and notches, HRTFs were calculated from four head shapes using the finite-difference time-domain method. The comparison between HRTFs calculated from...
متن کاملSingle-sided deafness and directional hearing: contribution of spectral cues and high-frequency hearing loss in the hearing ear
Direction-specific interactions of sound waves with the head, torso, and pinna provide unique spectral-shape cues that are used for the localization of sounds in the vertical plane, whereas horizontal sound localization is based primarily on the processing of binaural acoustic differences in arrival time (interaural time differences, or ITDs) and sound level (interaural level differences, or IL...
متن کاملElevation localization and head-related transfer function analysis at low frequencies.
Monaural spectral features due to pinna diffraction are the primary cues for elevation. Because these features appear above 3 kHz where the wavelength becomes comparable to pinna size, it is generally believed that accurate elevation estimation requires wideband sources. However, psychoacoustic tests show that subjects can estimate elevation for low-frequency sources. In the experiments reporte...
متن کاملEnhanced Vertical Perception through Head-Related Impulse Response Customization Based on Pinna Response Tuning in the Median Plane
Human’s ability to perceive elevation of a sound and distinguish whether a sound is coming from the front or rear strongly depends on the monaural spectral features of the pinnae. In order to realize an effective virtual auditory display by HRTF (head-related transfer function) customization, the pinna responses were isolated from the median HRIRs (head-related impulse responses) of 45 individu...
متن کاملSound Source Localization Using a Pinna-based Profile Fitting Method
In a two-microphone approach, interaural differences in time (ITD) and interaural differences in sound intensity (IID) have generally been used for sound source localization. But those cues are not effective for vertical localization in the median plane (direct front). For that purpose, spectral cues based on features of head-related transfer functions (HRTF) have been investigated, but they ar...
