Unidimensional simulation of the spatial attribute ‘ensemble width’ for training purposes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports recent progress towards the development of a spatial ear trainer. A study into the perceptual construct of ‘ensemble width’ was conducted. With the help of a novel surround panner, exemplary stimuli were created. Changes were highly controlled to enable unidimensional variation of the intended qualitative effect. To assess the success of the simulation, a subjective experiment was designed based on Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) techniques and completed by an experienced listening panel. Additional verbal and non-verbal data were collected so as to facilitate analysis of the perceptual (MDS) space. Results show that unidimensionality was achieved, thus suggesting the stimuli to be suitable for training purposes.

Unidimensional Simulation of the Spatial Attribute ‘Ensemble Depth’ for Training Purposes – Part 2: Creation and Validation of Reference Stimuli
In the context of devising a spatial ear-training system, a study into the perceptual construct ‘ensemble depth’ was executed. Based on the findings of a pilot study into the auditory effects of early reflection (ER) pattern characteristics, exemplary stimuli were created. Changes were highly controlled to allow unidimensional variation of the intended quality. To measure the psychological stru...

This paper presents some preliminary results from an ongoing study into methods for the training of listeners in subjective evaluation of spatial sound reproduction. Exemplary stimuli were created illustrating two spatial attributes: individual source width and source distance. Changes in each of the two attributes were highly controlled in an attempt to allow unidimensional variation of their ...
متن کاملSimulation of Boiling in a Vertical Channel Using Ensemble Average Model
Simulation of turbulence boiling, generation of vapour and predication of its behaviour are still subject to debate in the two-phase flow area and they receive a high level of worldwide attention. In this study, a new arrangement of the three dimensional governing equations for turbulence two-phase flow with heat and mass transfer are derived by using ensemble averaging two-fluid model and ...
