Humans and other animals use spatial hearing to rapidly localize events in the environment.
However, neural encoding of sound location is a complex process involving the computation …

This chapter looks at a range of auditory display and sonification applications that have
tackled the problem of monitoring real-time data streams and concludes with some …

In everyday complex listening situations, sound emanating from several different sources
arrives at the ears of a listener both directly from the sources and as reflections from arbitrary …

Generally speaking, audio coding is a process for changing the representation of an audio
signal to make it more suitable for transmission or storage. Although high capacity channels …

This book collects a wealth of information about spatial audio coding into one
comprehensible volume. It is a thorough reference to the 3GPP and MPEG Parametric …

Research into human auditory localization acuity and factors that compromise this acuity is
an ongoing research program at the US Army Research Laboratory. Although there is a …

Reverberation continues to present a major problem for sound source separation
algorithms. However, humans demonstrate a remarkable robustness to reverberation and …

In everyday audio environments, sound from several sources arrives at a listening position
both directly from the sources and as reflections from the acoustical environment. This thesis …

To clarify the role of spatial cues in sound segregation, this study explored whether
interaural time differences (ITDs) are sufficient to allow listeners to identify a novel sound …

As humans, we have the natural capability of localizing the origin of sounds. Spatial audio
rendering leverages this skill by applying special filters to recorded audio to create the …
