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 current dominant model of binaural sound localization proposes that the lateral position
of a sound source is determined by the position of maximal activation within an array of …

This tutorial provides an introduction to Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTF's) and their
role in the synthesis of spatial sound over headphones. We define HRTF's and discuss how …

This paper describes a system, referred to as model-based expectation-maximization source
separation and localization (MESSL), for separating and localizing multiple sound sources …

Spatial impulse response rendering (SIRR) is a recent technique for the reproduction of
room acoustics with a multichannel loudspeaker system. SIRR analyzes the time-dependent …

1. Interaural level differences (ILDs), created by the head and pinna, have long been known
to be the dominant acoustic cue for azimuthal localization of high-frequency tones. However …

This article presents a quantitative binaural signal detection model which extends the
monaural model described by Dau et al.[J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 3615–3622 (1996)]. The …

Mammals localize sounds using information from their two ears. Localization in real-world
conditions is challenging, as echoes provide erroneous information and noises mask parts …

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) have provided some success in improving spatial hearing
abilities to patients, but with large variability in performance. One reason for the variability is …

Parametric-stereo coding is a technique to efficiently code a stereo audio signal as a
monaural signal plus a small amount of parametric overhead to describe the stereo image …
