Cortical mechanisms of spatial hearing. [PDF]
Nat Rev Neurosci, 2019 Humans and other animals use spatial hearing to rapidly localize events in the environment. However, neural encoding of sound location is a complex process involving the computation and integration of multiple spatial cues that are not represented directly in the sensory organ (the cochlea).

Superhuman spatial hearing technology for ultrasonic frequencies. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 AbstractUltrasonic sources are inaudible to humans, and while digital signal processing techniques are available to bring ultrasonic signals into the audible range, there are currently no systems which also simultaneously permit the listener to localise the sources through spatial hearing.

Spatial Hearing and Hearing Aids [PDF]
, 2016 The questions of whether hearing-impaired listeners are also impaired for the localization of sounds and what benefits hearing aids can provide are important for understanding the wider effects of hearing impairment. We review here 29 studies published since 1983 that have measured acuity for changes in the horizontal-plane direction of sound sources ...

Spatially selective binaural hearing aids [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers - UbiComp '15, 2015 Traditional hearing aids are limited by the absence of spatial selectivity. Superdirective microphone array can recover such limit, performing a spatial filtering to achieve an augmented SNR. We present Glassense, a platform hosting a double microphone array connected to a processing unit and mounted on the frame of common glasses. The platform has the

Peripheral hearing loss reduces the ability of children to direct selective attention during multi-talker listening [PDF]
, 2017 Restoring normal hearing requires knowledge of how peripheral and central auditory processes are affected by hearing loss. Previous research has focussed primarily on peripheral changes following sensorineural hearing loss, whereas consequences for ...

Cortical transformation of spatial processing for solving the cocktail party problem: a computational model(1,2,3). [PDF]
, 2016 In multisource, "cocktail party" sound environments, human and animal auditory systems can use spatial cues to effectively separate and follow one source of sound over competing sources.

Acta Acustica, 2020 Familiarity with sound sources is known to have a modulatory effect on auditory distance perception. However, the level of familiarity that can affect distance perception is not clearly understood.

Cerebral Representation of Sound Localization Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Sound localization is an essential part of auditory processing. However, the cortical representation of identifying the direction of sound sources presented in the sound field using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is currently unknown ...

A physiologically inspired model for solving the cocktail party problem. [PDF]
, 2019 At a cocktail party, we can broadly monitor the entire acoustic scene to detect important cues (e.g., our names being called, or the fire alarm going off), or selectively listen to a target sound source (e.g., a conversation partner).

Relations between psychophysical measures of spatial hearing and self-reported spatial-hearing abilities [PDF]
International Journal of Audiology, 2014 Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate how well the virtual psychophysical measures of spatial hearing from the preliminary auditory profile predict self-reported spatial-hearing abilities. Design: Virtual spatial-hearings tests (conducted unaided, via headphones) and a questionnaire were administered in five centres in Germany, the
