Auditory Sketches: Very Sparse Representations of Sounds Are Still Recognizable
Sounds in our environment like voices, animal calls or musical instruments are easily recognized by human listeners. Understanding the key features underlying this robust sound recognition is an important question in auditory science. Here, we studied the recognition by human listeners of new classes of sounds: acoustic and auditory sketches, sounds that are severely impoverished but still reco...
متن کاملSound Ranking Using Auditory Sparse-Code Representations
The task of ranking sounds from text queries is a good test application for machine-hearing techniques, and particularly for comparison and evaluation of alternative sound representations in a large-scale setting. We have adapted a machine-vision system, “passive-aggressive model for image retrieval” (PAMIR) [2], which efficiently learns, using a ranking-based cost function, a linear mapping fr...
متن کاملSparse Representation of Sounds in the Unanesthetized Auditory Cortex
How do neuronal populations in the auditory cortex represent acoustic stimuli? Although sound-evoked neural responses in the anesthetized auditory cortex are mainly transient, recent experiments in the unanesthetized preparation have emphasized subpopulations with other response properties. To quantify the relative contributions of these different subpopulations in the awake preparation, we hav...
متن کاملAuditory gist: recognition of very short sounds from timbre cues.
Sounds such as the voice or musical instruments can be recognized on the basis of timbre alone. Here, sound recognition was investigated with severely reduced timbre cues. Short snippets of naturally recorded sounds were extracted from a large corpus. Listeners were asked to report a target category (e.g., sung voices) among other sounds (e.g., musical instruments). All sound categories covered...
متن کاملAuditory Pathway Representations of Speech Sounds in Humans
An essential function of the central auditory system is the neural encoding of speech sounds. The ability of the brain to translate the acoustic events in the speech signal into meaningful linguistic constructs relies in part on the representation of the acoustic structure of speech by the central nervous system. Consequently, an understanding of how the nervous system accomplishes this task wo...
