نویسنده
چکیده
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.

AnalyzingVirtual Sound SourceAttributes Using a Binaural Auditory Model*
Virtual sound sourcescreated with different techniques are evaluated using a computational model of auditory perception. A binaural model estimates the perceived localization cues and coloration. The cues of real and virtual sound sources are compared and the spatial attributes of the sources are discussed. The model predicts many known phenomena in loudspeaker listening and shows good agreemen...
متن کاملEvaluation of sound field synthesis techniques with a binaural auditory model
Wave field synthesis and Ambisonics strive to reconstruct a sound field within a listening area using the interference of loudspeaker signals. Due to the spatial sampling, an error-free reconstruction is not achieved within the entire listening area and consequently, the perceived quality of the reproduction may be impaired. Specifically, sound events may be localized incorrectly and the indivi...
متن کاملCreating a sense of auditory space.
Determining the location of a sound source requires the use of binaural hearing--information about a sound at the two ears converges onto neurones in the auditory brainstem to create a binaural representation. The main binaural cue used by many mammals to locate a sound source is the interaural time difference, or ITD. For over 50 years a single model has dominated thinking on how ITDs are proc...
متن کاملThe Opponent Channel Population Code of Sound Location Is an Efficient Representation of Natural Binaural Sounds
In mammalian auditory cortex, sound source position is represented by a population of broadly tuned neurons whose firing is modulated by sounds located at all positions surrounding the animal. Peaks of their tuning curves are concentrated at lateral position, while their slopes are steepest at the interaural midline, allowing for the maximum localization accuracy in that area. These experimenta...
