Speech Reception Thresholds for Polish Language Word and Sentence Tests Presented in Noise
The aim of the study was to determine the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the Speech Reception Threshold (SRT) for young persons with normal hearing. The following three tests available for Polish language were used: the New Articulation Lists (NAL-93 ...

Two-dimensional shape discrimination by sighted people using simulated virtual echoes [PDF]
In this study, a new research method using psychoacoustic experiments and acoustic simulations is proposed for human echolocation research. A shape discrimination experiment was conducted for sighted people using pitch-converted virtual echoes from ...

An automated method for detecting F measurement jumps based on sample-to-sample differences [PDF]
An algorithm for detecting sudden jumps in measured F0, which are likely to be inaccurate measures, is introduced. The method computes sample-to-sample differences in F0 and, based on a user-defined threshold, determines whether a difference is larger ...

Iterative adaptive frequency-domain equalization based on sliding window strategy over time-varying underwater acoustic channels [PDF]
This letter provides a novel iterative adaptive frequency-domain equalization for time-varying underwater acoustic (UWA) channels. The proposed scheme adopts a modified frequency-domain block least mean square algorithm to update the filter weights.

Fuzzy clustering as a tool to differentiate between discrete and graded call types [PDF]
Animals may communicate potential information to conspecifics using stereotyped “discrete” calls and variable “graded” calls. However, animal vocal research often centers on identifying the number of call types in a repertoire rather than quantifying the

Intelligibility of chimeric locally time-reversed speech: Relative contribution of four frequency bands [PDF]
Intelligibility of four-band speech stimuli was investigated (n = 18), such that only one of the frequency bands was preserved, whereas other bands were locally time-reversed (segment duration: 75–300 ms), or vice versa. Intelligibility was best retained
