An overview of the major phenomena of the localization of sound sources by normal-hearing, hearing-impaired, and aided listeners [PDF]
, 2014 Localizing a sound source requires the auditory system to determine its direction and its distance. In general, hearing-impaired listeners do less well in experiments measuring localization performance than normal-hearing listeners, and hearing aids ...

Data-driven multivariate and multiscale methods for brain computer interface [PDF]
, 2012 This thesis focuses on the development of data-driven multivariate and multiscale methods for brain computer interface (BCI) systems. The electroencephalogram (EEG), the most convenient means to measure neurophysiological activity due to its ...

Sequential critical periods for the development of binaural integration in the infant mouse auditory cortex [PDF]
, 2014 Early binaural experience can recalibrate central auditory circuits that support spatial hearing. However, it is not known how binaural integration matures shortly after hearing onset or whether various developmental stages are differentially impacted by

Auditory spatial perception without vision
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Valuable insights into the role played by visual experience in shaping spatial representations can be gained by studying the effects of visual deprivation on the remaining sensory modalities.

Neural network model of binaural hearing based on spatial feature extraction of the head related transfer function [PDF]
, 1998 In spatial hearing, complex valued head-related transfer function (HRTF) can be represented as a real valued head-related impulse response (HRIR). Using Karhunen-Loeve expansion, the spatial features of the normalized HRIRs on measurement space can be ...

Trends in Hearing, 2015 For normal-hearing listeners, speech intelligibility improves if speech and noise are spatially separated. While this spatial release from masking has already been quantified in normal-hearing listeners in many studies, it is less clear how spatial ...

Quantifying active brain areas at spatial hearing process using Electroencephalography (EEG) source localization approach [PDF]
ITM Web of ConferencesThe human ability for spatial hearing encourages the development of spatial audio technology to support many human activities. Spatial audio mimics the real-life sound and provides a more immersive hearing experience as if the listener were present in ...

Effect of audibility on spatial release from speech-on-speech masking [PDF]
, 2015 This study investigated to what extent spatial release from masking (SRM) deficits in hearing-impaired adults may be related to reduced audibility of the test stimuli.

Validation of the Spatial Hearing Questionnaire [PDF]
Ear & Hearing, 2009 Subjective questionnaires are informative in understanding the difficulties faced by patients with hearing loss. Our intent was to establish and validate a new questionnaire that encompasses situations emphasizing binaural hearing. The Spatial Hearing Questionnaire is a self-report assessment tool with eight subscales representing questions; pertaining

Improving health-related quality of life in single-sided deafness: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Unilateral severe-to-profound hearing loss, or single-sided deafness (SSD), impairs listening abilities supported by the use of two ears, including speech perception in background noise and sound localisation.
