In ordinary listening environments, acoustic signals reaching the ears directly from real
sound sources are followed after a few milliseconds by early reflections arriving from nearby …

The ASA Press imprint represents a collaboration between the Acoustical Society of America
and Springer dedicated to encouraging the publication of important new books in acoustics …

Most normal-hearing listeners can understand a conversational partner in an everyday
setting with an ease that is unmatched by any computational algorithm available today. This …

Monaural rate discrimination and binaural interaural time difference (ITD) discrimination
were studied as functions of pulse rate in a group of bilaterally implanted cochlear implant …

Real-world sound sources are usually perceived as externalized and thus properly localized
in both direction and distance. This is largely due to (1) the acoustic filtering by the head …

The auditory system is unique among sensory systems in its ability to phase lock to and
precisely follow very fast cycle-by-cycle fluctuations in the phase of sound-driven cochlear …

This study simulated the effect of unlinked automatic gain control (AGC) and head
movement on the output levels and resulting inter-aural level differences (ILDs) produced by …

Echolocation offers a promising approach to improve the quality of life of people with
blindness although little is known about the factors influencing object localisation using a …

Sound localization studies over the past century have predominantly been concerned with
directional accuracy for far-field sources. Few studies have examined the condition of near …

BACKGROUND: During walking, postural stability is controlled by visual, vestibular and
proprioceptive input. The auditory system uses acoustic input to localize sound sources. For …
