Weighting of binaural cues in the absence of a reflection
نویسنده
چکیده
More than 100 years ago Lord Rayleigh postulated the Duplex Theory of auditory localisation. Low frequency and wide-band sounds are localised based on interaural time differences (ITDs), while high frequency sounds are localised by interaural level differences (ILDs) [1, 2]. In natural situations, the relationship of those binaural cues is provided in the head-related transfer function (HRTF). Hearing devices may alter it and it is important to correctly reproduce those cues in a particular listening situation to afford the full benefit from binaural hearing.

Relearning Sound Localization with a New Ear
Human sound localization results primarily from the processing of binaural differences in sound level and arrival time for locations in the horizontal plane (azimuth) and of spectral shape cues generated by the head and pinnae for positions in the vertical plane (elevation). The latter mechanism incorporates two processing stages: a spectral-to-spatial mapping stage and a binaural weighting sta...

متن کاملSound localization under perturbed binaural hearing.
This paper reports on the acute effects of a monaural plug on directional hearing in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes of human listeners. Sound localization behavior was tested with rapid head-orienting responses toward brief high-pass filtered (>3 kHz; HP) and broadband (0.5-20 kHz; BB) noises, with sound levels between 30 and 60 dB, A-weighted (dBA). To deny listeners ...
متن کاملFast Measurement System for Spatially Continuous Individual Hrtfs
The head-related transfer function (HRTF) describes the individual perception of sound for different angles of incidence of a sound wave. The directional cues contained in the HRTF are introduced by reflection and diffraction of the sound wave at head and torso and are highly individual [1]. When hearing a binaural signal synthesized via a generic HRTF – deviating from the listener’s HRTF – loc...
