A Mixed-Methods Trial of Broad Band Noise and Nature Sounds for Tinnitus Therapy: Group and Individual Responses Modeled under the Adaptation Level Theory of Tinnitus

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017
Objectives: A randomized cross-over trial in 18 participants tested the hypothesis that nature sounds, with unpredictable temporal characteristics and high valence would yield greater improvement in tinnitus than constant, emotionally neutral broadband ...

An investigation of the sound of foam and its potential influence on the shampoo experience

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 725-737, August 2026.
This study investigates shampoo foam acoustics' impact on hair washing experience using binaural recordings and psychoacoustic analysis. Distinct foam sound profiles elicited varying emotional responses; early lathering induced negative emotions while later phases were positive.

Embodied Responses to Harmony and (Poly)Rhythm: An Integrated Ratio‐Based Perception‐Action Framework

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1562, Issue 1, August 2026.
Harmony and rhythm perception are often studied separately, yet both reveal a shared sensitivity to low‐order integer ratios. In harmony, intervals like the octave (2:1) and fifth (3:2) predict consonance and ease of encoding. In rhythm, patterns with simple ratios (e.g., 2:1, 3:2) are easier to perceive, reproduce, and remember.

Interval and Ratio Scaling of Spectral Audio Descriptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
Two experiments were conducted for the derivation of psychophysical scales of the following audio descriptors: spectral centroid, spectral spread, spectral skewness, odd-to-even harmonic ratio, spectral deviation, and spectral slope. The stimulus sets of

Medial Olivocochlear Reflex Strength Predicts Musical Perception and Speech‐in‐Noise Performance in Nonmusicians

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective The medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex enhances the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) in the cochlea and is implicated in auditory scene analysis. Although musicians often exhibit robust MOC function, it remains unclear whether related auditory advantages stem from innate predisposition or training‐induced plasticity.

Enhancing human-human musical interaction through kinesthetic haptic feedback using wearable exoskeletons: theoretical foundations, validation scenarios, and limitations

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology
In this perspective paper, we explore the use of haptic feedback to enhance human-human interaction during musical tasks. We start by providing an overview of the theoretical foundation that underpins our approach, which is rooted in the embodied music ...

Olivocochlear Efferents in Animals and Humans: From Anatomy to Clinical Relevance

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Olivocochlear efferents allow the central auditory system to adjust the functioning of the inner ear during active and passive listening. While many aspects of efferent anatomy, physiology and function are well established, others remain controversial ...

Looking for the Edge of the World: How 3D Immersive Audio Produces a Shift from an Internalised Inner Voice to Unsymbolised Affect-Driven Ways of Thinking and Heightened Sensory Awareness

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences, 2023
In this practice-based case study, we investigate the subjective aesthetic and affective responses to a shift from 2D stereo-based modelling to 3D object-based Dolby Atmos in an audio installation artwork.
