Using Body-Conducted Acoustic Sensors for Human-Robot Communication in Noisy Environments

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
In this study, the use of alternative acoustic sensors in human-robot communication is investigated. In particular, a Non-Audible Murmur (NAM) microphone was applied in tele-operating the Geminoid HI-1 robot in noisy environments.

Speech intelligibility in virtual restaurants [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for a target voice on the same virtual table were measured in various restaurant simulations under conditions of masking by between one and eight interferers at other tables. Results for different levels of reverberation and different simulation techniques were qualitatively similar.

Does Fit Always Fit? The Paradox of Brand–Cause Misfit and Authenticity

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brand–cause research generally treats coherence between a brand and a social cause as a prerequisite for authenticity, leaving unexplained why some moderately misfitting initiatives are judged more authentic than expected. We develop a paradox‐based process account in which authenticity arises not only from coherence but also from consumers ...

Speech intelligibility studies in classrooms

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986
Speech intelligibility tests and acoustical measurements were made in ten occupied classrooms. Octave-band measurements of background noise levels, early decay times, and reverberation times, as well as various early/late sound ratios, and the center time were obtained. Various octave-band useful/detrimental ratios were calculated along with the speech
