The long-term goals are to develop novel techniques to measure and predict, through modeling, the effect of sound on the marine environment. Modeling includes acoustic sources, propagation and the interaction of sound with animal behavior models. Determining the necessary environmental information such as bathymetry, sound speed and seabed properties for accurate modeling is also an essential c...

Sound has the potential to improve our understanding of a program's function, structure, and behavior. In this paper we identify classes of program information suitable for mapping to sound and suggest how to add auralization capabilities to programming environments. We describe LogoMedia, a sound-enhanced programming system which illustrates these concepts.

We propose a process model for hierarchical perceptual sound organization, which recognizes perceptual sounds included in incoming sound signals. We consider perceptual sound organization as a scene analysis problem in the auditory domain. Our model consists of multiple processing modules and a hypothesis network for quantitative integration of multiple sources of information. When input inform...

Applied diagnosis based on audible sound enrichment that realize the measurement and control for high efficient energy systems 7. Overview of the Results of the Collaborative Research: In recent years, a mechanism that controls the system intelligently by using information of the various data shared on the system network has been practiced. New power grid systems (smart grid), and electric vehi...

Sound measured at various points around the environment can be evaluated by a series of multi-pole sources and their acoustic strength can be acquired. In this numerical study, a method, called the inverse method, was examined to achieve this goal. A variety of arrangements of different sources were considered and the acoustic strength of these sources was acquired. Through the application of t...

Arguably sensory systems, including audition, evolved allowing animals to navigate, find prey, avoid predators, mate, and, for some species, communicate. All of these essential functions require animals to determine objects in their environment. Vibrating objects produce a sound pressure wave that has the potential of informing an animal about these objects. Such acoustic information can make t...

In this paper, we address the challenging task of simultaneous recognition of overlapping sound events from single channel audio. Conventional frame-based methods aren’t well suited to the problem, as each time frame contains a mixture of information from multiple sources. Missing feature masks are able to improve the recognition in such cases, but are limited by the accuracy of the mask, which...

Previous studies have demonstrated that the spike patterns of cortical neurons vary systematically as a function of sound-source location such that the response of a single neuron can signal the location of a sound source throughout 360 degrees of azimuth. The present study examined specific features of spike patterns that might transmit information related to sound-source location. Analysis wa...
