When we intend to grasp a sound target, perhaps its signal is in the presence of competing signals. An effective solution is to concentrate on the target’s sound features selected and extracted from the various mixed auditory features. This is so-called auditory feature binding. It plays an important role in the cognitive and neuroscience. In this paper, we will describe the conceptual frame na...

Sequences of auditory beeps and tactile taps were simultaneously presented and participants were instructed to focus on one of these modalities and to ignore the other. We tested whether (i) the two sensory channels bias one another and (ii) the interaction depends on the relative reliability of the channels. Audition biased tactile perception and touch biased auditory perception. Lowering the ...

This study examines the ability of Deaf children with cochlear implants to perceive and produce the following speech features: Vowel Height, Vowel Place, Consonant Place of Articulation (anterior and back), Continuance and Consonant Voicing. Seven children between 3;4 and 4;10 with a minimum of 18 months of experience with their implants served as participants. Perception of the features was as...

The objective of my research is to design computational systems that are capable of analyzing and processing auditory scenes. I call this Computer Audition. Although humans can naturally analyze auditory scenes into meaningful events, and consciously or passively respond to them, computer audition remains a challenging problem and once it succeeds, it will represent a fundamental advance in Aud...

MultiBin is a new tool for binaural audition of multiple sound sources in a user definable environment. Although designed to be flexible in its application, its primary function is to provide dynamic multi-channel binaural simulation. It is built upon two new Csound binaural reverberation opcodes. An early reflection opcode, based on an image source method and a Head-Related Transfer Function i...
