A probability model for interaural phase difference
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we derive a probability model for interaural phase differences at individual spectrogram points. Such a model can combine observations across arbitrary time and frequency regions in a structured way and does not make any assumptions about the characteristics of the sound sources. In experiments with speech from twenty speakers in simulated reverberant environments, this probabilistic method predicted the correct interaural delay of a signal more accurately than generalized cross-correlation methods.

Interaural fluctuations and the detection of interaural incoherence. III. Narrowband experiments and binaural models.
In the first two articles of this series, reproducible noises with a fixed value of interaural coherence (0.992) were used to study the human ability to detect interaural incoherence. It was found that incoherence detection is strongly correlated with fluctuations in interaural differences, especially for narrow noise bandwidths, but it remained unclear what function of the fluctuations best ag...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent interaural delays in the medial superior olive: implications for interaural cochlear delays.
Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) are tuned to the interaural time difference (ITD) of sound arriving at the two ears. MSO neurons evoke a strongest response at their best delay (BD), at which the internal delay between bilateral inputs to MSO matches the external ITD. We performed extracellular recordings in the superior olivary complex of the anesthetized gerbil and found a majority ...
متن کاملThe contribution of static and dynamically varying ITDs and IIDs to binaural detection.
This paper investigates the relative contribution of various interaural cues to binaural unmasking in conditions with an interaurally in-phase masker and an out-of-phase signal (MoS pi). By using a modified version of multiplied noise as the masker and a sinusoid as the signal, conditions with only interaural intensity differences (IIDs), only interaural time differences (ITDs), or combinations...
متن کاملInteraural phase difference modulates the neural activity in the nucleus angularis and improves the processing of level difference cue in the lateral lemniscal nucleus in the chicken.
We investigated the chicken auditory system to understand how an interaural level difference (ILD) is processed. Sound intensity is extracted in the nucleus angularis (NA) and an ILD is processed in the dorsal lateral lemniscal nucleus (LLD). We found that the neural activity in these nuclei is affected by the interaural phase difference (IPD). Activity in the NA was suppressed by strong contra...
متن کاملLateralization of Huggins pitch.
The Huggins pitch is a sensation of pitch generated from a broadband noise having a narrowband boundary region where the interaural phase difference varies rapidly as a function of frequency. Models of binaural hearing predict that the pitch image should be well lateralized. A direct psychophysical experimental method was used to estimate the lateral positions of Huggins pitch images with two d...
