Tone Lateralization under Noisy Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a dichotic listening experiment on the perception of Mandarin tones under clean and noisy conditions. We examine the enhancing role of noise on the lateralization patterns of tones. We discover that the lateralization patterns of different tones are inconsistent: the perception of tone 1 exhibits a left ear advantage, while that of tone 2 or tone 4 has a right ear advantage. These different lateralization patterns may result from different tone features and the fast or slow change of the tone pitch. Moreover, a gender difference in tone perception is detected in our experimental results.

Auditory Lateralization Ability in Children with (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the auditory lateralization ability in children with (central) auditory processing disorder. Methods: Participants were divided in two groups: 15 children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (8-10 years) and 80 normal children (8-11 years) from both genders with pure-tone air-conduction thresholds better than 20 dB HL bilaterally a...
متن کاملLateralization and sequential relationships in the octave illusion.
Subjects made lateralization judgments concerning sequences of dichotic chords whose components stood in octave relation. In condition 1, each ear received a sequence consisting of 400- and 800-Hz tones in alternation, such that when one ear received the 400-Hz tone, the other ear simultaneously received the 800-Hz tone. Condition 2 was identical to condition 1, except that the alternating tone...
متن کاملSpeech Emotion Recognition Based on Power Normalized Cepstral Coefficients in Noisy Conditions
Automatic recognition of speech emotional states in noisy conditions has become an important research topic in the emotional speech recognition area, in recent years. This paper considers the recognition of emotional states via speech in real environments. For this task, we employ the power normalized cepstral coefficients (PNCC) in a speech emotion recognition system. We investigate its perfor...

In this paper, Radial basis neural networks[1][12][17] have been examined for speech recognition using speech features MFCC (Mel frequency Coefficients) and Gamma tone frequency coefficients for isolated Telugu words in noisy environment. Speech feature vectors are used to train, validate and test the Radial basis neural networks.Experiments conducted in Office environment under the presence of...
متن کاملLateralization by frequency for repeating sequences of dichotic 400- and 800-Hz tones.
Subjects made lateralization judgments involving dichotic sequences of 250-ms tones, which alternated in frequency between 400 and 800 Hz, such that when one ear received 400 Hz the other ear received 800 Hz, and vice versa. With sequences consisting of 20 dichotic tone pairs there was a strong tendency to lateralize each fused tonal percept toward the ear receiving the 800-Hz signal. In certai...
