Vibration, 2022 Silent speech interfaces (SSIs) enable speech recognition and synthesis in the absence of an acoustic signal. Yet, the archetypal SSI fails to convey the expressive attributes of prosody such as pitch and loudness, leading to lexical ambiguities. The aim

Perception & Psychophysics, 1979 In a loudness bisection task, subjects varied one sound to lie halfway between two given sounds in terms of loudness. The two given sounds were varied from 30 to 90 dB in a 4 by 9 factorial design. Functional measurement methods based on monotone analysis provided good support for the bisection model, and yielded a loudness scale with an exponent of ...

Uni- and bilateral spectral loudness summation and binaural loudness summation with loudness matching and categorical loudness scaling [PDF]
International Journal of Audiology, 2020 Current hearing aid prescription rules assume that spectral loudness summation decreases with hearing impairment and that binaural loudness summation is independent of hearing loss and signal bandwidth. Previous studies have shown that these assumptions might be incorrect.

Voice quality in affect cueing: does loudness matter?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 In emotional speech research, it has been suggested that loudness, along with other prosodic features, may be an important cue in communicating high activation affects.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The Better hEAring Rehabilitation (BEAR) project aims to provide a new clinical profiling tool—a test battery—for hearing loss characterization. Although the loss of sensitivity can be efficiently measured using pure-tone audiometry, the assessment of ...

A Comparison of Dynamics in Major- and Minor-key Works
Empirical Musicology Review, 2008 An analysis of dynamic markings in 24 paired preludes in major and minor keys shows that the minor mode is associated with a generally lower dynamic level than the major mode.

Temporal Loudness Weights Are Frequency Specific
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Previous work showed that the beginning of a sound is more important for the perception of loudness than later parts. When a short silent gap of sufficient duration is inserted into a sound, this primacy effect reoccurs in the second sound part after the

On the Loudness of Noise [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1932 In order to determine the usefulness of pure tone data in design of noise meters intended for measurement of complex sound, a reference tone of 1000 cycles at various levels was compared with noises typical of electrical machinery. The comparison was made on the basis of equal loudness determined by ear and also by noise meter.

Gender differences in loudness perception may be linguistically influenced
Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2019 Previous studies have reported gender differences in loudness perception. To clarify factors that affect loudness perception of men and women, so that differences in their processing of auditory stimuli might be revealed, we conducted four experiments ...

Applications of Phenomenological Loudness Models to Cochlear Implants
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Cochlear implants electrically stimulate surviving auditory neurons in the cochlea to provide severely or profoundly deaf people with access to hearing. Signal processing strategies derive frequency-specific information from the acoustic signal and code ...
