Predicting Binaural Masking Level Difference and Dichotic Pitch Using Instantaneous ILD Model

A recently proposed auditory model is examined using simulated binaural masking level difference (BMLD) and dichotic pitch (Huggins and binaural edge pitch) stimuli. The model is based on calculating the instantaneous interaural level difference, i.e. the difference between the left and right ear neural signals. The model output produces pronounced maximum at the signal frequency with BMLD stim...

Evaluating spatial sound with binaural auditory model

Directional qualities of spatial sound systems are studied with a binaural model of human direction perception. The evaluated spatial sound systems are pairand triplet-wise panning and firstand second-order Ambisonics.

Categorization of Natural Dynamic Audiovisual Scenes

This work analyzed the perceptual attributes of natural dynamic audiovisual scenes. We presented thirty participants with 19 natural scenes in a similarity categorization task, followed by a semi-structured interview. The scenes were reproduced with an immersive audiovisual display. Natural scene perception has been studied mainly with unimodal settings, which have identified motion as one of t...
