ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that acoustic stimulation, a common neuromodulation technique, can enhance slow‐wave activity (SWA), which is associated with immune, autonomic nervous system activity and cognitive health benefits. Despite some disagreement, many studies suggest that maximising tone‐evoked SWA depends on the timing of the acoustic ...

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

Interaction between auditory and visual perceptions on distance estimations in a virtual environment
International audienceNavigation in virtual environments relies on an accurate spatial rendering. A virtual object is localized according to its position in the environment, which is usually defined by the following three coordinates: azimuth, elevation ...

On the influence of individual characteristics and personality traits on the user experience with multi-sensorial media: an experimental insight [PDF]
Recent studies encourage the development of sensorially-enriched media to enhance the user experience by stimulating senses other than sight and hearing.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a close‐hearing analysis of Forest 404, a transmedial audio drama that was released to BBC Sounds in 2019. Despite the drama's eco‐dystopian critique of teleological ‘progress’ narratives (that enable and perpetuate the destruction of the natural world), I argue that the series ultimately propagates a sense of inevitability

The Neural Organization of Visual Information in the Auditory Cortex of the Congenitally Deaf
Using fMRI and pRF modeling, we show that visual spatial information is represented in the auditory cortex of congenital deaf individuals through deactivation signals. These negative BOLD responses suggest a novel mechanism of cross‐modal plasticity.

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Urban Acoustic Environments with Binaural Psycho-Acoustical Considerations for IoT-based Applications [PDF]
Sound pleasantness or annoyance perceived in urban soundscapes is a major concern in environmental acoustics. Binaural psychoacoustic parameters are helpful to describe generic acoustic environments, as it is stated within the ISO 12913 framework.

Modern AI systems can now synthesize coherent multimedia experiences, generating video and audio directly from text prompts. These unified frameworks represent a rapid shift toward controllable and synchronized content creation. From early neural architectures to transformer and diffusion paradigms, this paper contextualizes the ongoing evolution of ...

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