Article is devoted to identification of psychoacoustic differences between languages of Roman, Germanic and Slavic groups, as factors that hinder the learning of foreign languages and EEG-correlates of perception and recognition of foreign speech, as the

Psychoacoustic Principle, Methods, and Problems with Perceived Distance Control in Spatial Audio
One purpose of spatial audio is to create perceived virtual sources at various spatial positions in terms of direction and distance with respect to the listener.

The sense of hearing in animals has been studied quantitatively using a variety of behavioral techniques for the past 50 years. The database now existing [R. Fay, Hearing in Vertebrates: A Psychophysics Databook (Hill-Fay Associates, Winnetka, IL, 1988)] includes data for 180 vertebrate species and allows several generalizations to be made regarding ...

Let's stop measuring animal sound frequencies in hertz
Abstract Research on the function and evolution of animal sounds typically analyses sound frequency on a linear scale (Hz), despite the perception and modulation of sound frequency by animals being better described with an equal‐ratios scale (logHz). Using a linear frequency scale causes bias in analyses, and distorts the visual representation of sound

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.

Higher‐pitched voices are perceived as financially trustworthy
Abstract Previous research is mixed as to whether listeners perceive higher‐ or lower‐pitched voices as more financially trustworthy. These mixed results may be owing to variation in the degree of risk implied in the scenarios used to measure perceptions of financial trustworthiness. I tested whether the degree of risk in the type of trust game used to

Optimizing CI Systems for Better Recognition of Soft Speech —the Concept of Broad‐Range Mapping
ABSTRACT Objectives The individual mapping of cochlear implants (CIs) aims to optimize the user's speech understanding. Recent investigations have shown the importance of soft speech: (1) According to Datalog studies, a large proportion of speech components lies in the range below 60 dB, and (2) soft speech represents a separate category in CI outcome,

Interference Pattern Caused by Bilateral Bone Conduction Stimulation Impairs Sound Localization
This work explores how crosstalk‐induced wave interference affects bone conduction (BC) sound localization. Using a theoretical model, cadaveric vibrometry, and psychoacoustic tests, atypical BC lateralization patterns are revealed that contradict air conduction (AC) principles.

The Polish sentence test for speech intelligibility evaluations
The main purpose of this study was to prepare Polish sentence tests for measuring speech intelligibility against an interfering noise. The tests were developed from meaningful sentences taken from everyday utterances, TV, literature etc.

The bag-of-frames approach: a not so sufficient model for urban soundscapes [PDF]
The "bag-of-frames" approach (BOF), which encodes audio signals as the long-term statistical distribution of short-term spectral features, is commonly regarded as an effective and sufficient way to represent environmental sound recordings (soundscapes ...
