Learning Reverberation: Considerations for Spatial Auditory Displays

Barbara Shinn-Cunningham Depts. of Cognitive and Neural Systems and Biomedical Engineering Boston University 677 Beacon St. Boston, MA, 02215 USA +1 617 353 8693 [email protected] ABSTRACT Reverberation has both beneficial and detrimental effects on auditory localization. This paper reviews evidence that listeners adapt to the reverberation in a room. Results show that reverberation degrades per...

Perceptual Consenqueces of including Reverberation in Spatial Auditory Displays

This paper evaluates the perceptual consequences of including reverberation in spatial auditory displays for rapidly-varying signals (obstruent consonants). Preliminary results suggest that the effect of reverberation depends on both syllable position and reverberation characteristics. As many of the non-speech sounds in an auditory display share acoustic features with obstruent consonants, the...

Auditory Displays

Auditory displays in anesthesiology.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW We outline and discuss recent work on auditory displays, covering both auditory alarms that indicate technical or physiological threshold levels and informative auditory displays that provide a continuous awareness of a patient's well being. RECENT FINDINGS The struggle to make auditory alarms informative proceeds with work on two fronts. In one approach, researchers are dev...
