A SMARC Effect for Loudness [PDF]
Various reports suggest that the pitch height of musical tones may be represented along a mental space, with lower pitch heights represented on the left or lower sectors and higher pitch heights represented on the right or upper sectors of the mental ...

Applications of Phenomenological Loudness Models to Cochlear Implants
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 ...

Mean and Extreme Radio Properties of Quasars and the Origin of Radio Emission [PDF]
We investigate the evolution of both the radio-loud fraction (RLF) and (using stacking analysis) the mean radio-loudness of quasars. We consider how these values evolve as a function of redshift and luminosity, black hole (BH) mass and accretion rate ...

Somatic modulation of tinnitus: a review and some open questions [PDF]
Tinnitus modulation by movements of the temporomandibular joint, head and neck musculoskeletal structures and the eye, can be found in one to two thirds of tinnitus sufferers; unfortunately this condition is often overlooked by otolaryngologists ...

On the relations among temporal integration for loudness, loudness discrimination, and the form of the loudness function. [PDF]
Temporal integration for loudness was measured as a function of level from 2 to 60 dB SL using 2-, 10-, 50-, and 250-ms tones at 5 kHz. The adaptive 2I,2AFC procedure converged at the level required to make the variable stimulus just louder than the fixed stimulus.

On the Loudness of Noise [PDF]
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.

A Comparison of Dynamics in Major- and Minor-key Works
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.

On the Radio and Optical Luminosity Evolution of Quasars II - The SDSS Sample [PDF]
We determine the radio and optical luminosity evolutions and the true distribution of the radio loudness parameter R, defined as the ratio of the radio to optical luminosity, for a set of more than 5000 quasars combining SDSS optical and FIRST radio data.

Potential Consequences of Spectral and Binaural Loudness Summation for Bilateral Hearing Aid Fitting
Aversiveness of loud sounds is a frequent complaint by hearing aid users, especially when fitted bilaterally. This study investigates whether loudness summation can be held responsible for this finding.
