A video coding system for sign language communication at low bit rates [PDF]
, 2004 The ability to communicate remotely through the use of video as promised by wireless networks and already practised over fixed networks, is for deaf people as important as voice telephony is for hearing people. Sign languages are visual-spatial languages

Speech understanding in diffuse steady noise in typically hearing and hard of hearing listeners
PLoS ONE, 2022 Spatial cues can facilitate segregation of target speech from maskers. However, in clinical practice, masked speech understanding is most often evaluated using co-located speech and maskers (i.e., without spatial cues). Many hearing aid centers in France

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

Asymmetric visual capture of virtual sound sources in the distance dimension
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Visual capture describes the tendency of a sound to be mislocalized to the location of a plausible visual target. This effect, also known as the ventriloquist effect, has been extensively studied in humans, but primarily for mismatches in the angular ...

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).

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...
