Spectral and binaural loudness summation of equally loud narrowband signals in single-sided-deafness and bilateral cochlear implant users

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Recent studies on loudness perception of binaural broadband signals in hearing impaired listeners found large individual differences, suggesting the use of such signals in hearing aid fitting.

The KW-boundary hybrid digital waveguide mesh for room acoustics applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The digital waveguide mesh is a discrete-time simulation used to model acoustic wave propagation through a bounded medium. It can be applied to the simulation of the acoustics of rooms through the generation of impulse responses suitable for auralization

Optochemical modulation of corneal cold nerve terminal impulse activity with a photochromic ion channel blocker

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 3, Page 545-559, February 2026.
Background and Purpose The functional organization of corneal cold nerve endings, critical structures in maintaining the ocular surface, remains poorly understood. Here, the photoisomerizable small‐molecule diethylamine‐azobenzene‐quaternary ammonium (DENAQ) was used to photomodulate activity of cold‐sensing nerve terminals in control and chronic tear ...

Auditory Localization in Low-Bitrate Compressed Ambisonic Scenes

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
The increasing popularity of Ambisonics as a spatial audio format for streaming services poses new challenges to existing audio coding techniques. Immersive audio delivered to mobile devices requires an efficient bitrate compression that does not affect ...

Explaining the Musical Advantage in Speech Perception Through Beat Perception and Working Memory

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1556, Issue 1, February 2026.
Musical experience enhances speech‐in‐noise (SIN) perception, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. We tested 62 young adults using continuous measures of musical engagement, auditory and cognitive skills, and subcortical pitch encoding. Greater musical sophistication predicted better SIN performance, stronger working memory, finer beat perception, and ...

Physical Proximity With Social Support Regulates Vigilance to Threat: Evidence From Startle Reactivity During Emotional Stress Induction

open access: yesPsychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Access to social support during emotional stress is one of the most important factors for the successful regulation of stress‐induced psychophysiological activation, and is predictive of improved health and well‐being. In this research we wanted to deepen our understanding of this buffering effect, focusing on the modulation of the startle ...

Improving elevation perception with a tool for image-guided head-related transfer function selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper proposes an image-guided HRTF selection procedure that exploits the relation between features of the pinna shape and HRTF notches. Using a 2D image of a subject's pinna, the procedure selects from a database the HRTF set that best fits the ...

Visual modulation of vestibular‐evoked balance response disturbed by posterior cortical atrophy

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 3, Page 1255-1271, 1 February 2026.
Abstract figure legend Summary of key findings. (A) Effect of vision on balance responses to vestibular stimulation in controls. Mean galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS)‐evoked response time‐course is shown without and with vision, illustrating how visual input ‘dampens’ the balance response.

Speech perception in noise in normally hearing children: does binaural frequency modulated fitting provide more benefit than monaural frequency modulated fitting?

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2011
The aim of the present study was to compare the benefit of monaural versus binaural ear-level frequency modulated (FM) fitting on speech perception in noise in children with normal hearing.

Virtual Reality and Sound Localization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Psychoacoustics is the scientific study of sound perception. Within this field, Virtual Reality is a technique that uses two synthesis speakers to simulate a sine tone coming from anywhere in open space.
