The problem of overlapping harmonics is particularly acute in musical sound separation and has not been addressed adequately. We propose a monaural system based on binary time-frequency masking with an emphasis on robust decisions in timefrequency regions, where harmonics from different sources overlap. Our computational auditory scene analysis system exploits the observation that sounds from t...

It has been argued that dyslexics suffer from temporal sensory processing deficits which affect their ability to discriminate speech in quiet environments. The impact of auditory deficits on non-language aspects of perception, however, is poorly understood. In almost every natural-listening environment, one must constantly construct scenes of the auditory world by grouping and analyzing sounds ...

Listeners have to make sense of a complex acoustic world containing overlapping sound sources that must be organized into individual auditory objects. Computational auditory scene analysis concerns the use of algorithms inspired by human sound perception whose aim is to extract properties of constituent sound sources in a complexmixture. Starting with representations based on models of how soun...

Human listeners have a remarkable ability to separate a complex mixture of sounds into discrete sources. The processes underlying this ability have been termed ‘auditory scene analysis’ (Bregman 1990; this volume). Recently, an interdisciplinary field known as ‘computational auditory scene analysis’ (CASA) has emerged which aims to develop computer systems that mimic this aspect of hearing (Ros...

background :older adults with cerebrovascular accident (cva) show evidence of auditory and speech perception problems. in present study, it was examined whether these problems are due to impairments of concurrent auditory segregation procedure which is the basic level of auditory scene analysis and auditory organization in auditory scenes with competing sounds. methods : concurrent auditory seg...

The peripheral and central auditory systems undergo tremendous changes with normal aging. In this review, we focus on the effects of age on processing complex acoustic signals (such as speech and music) amid other sounds, which requires a set of computations known as auditory scene analysis. Auditory scene analysis is the process whereby the brain assigns parts of the acoustic wave derived from...

A human listener has the remarkable ability to segregate an acoustic mixture and attend to a target sound. This perceptual process is called auditory scene analysis (ASA). Moreover, the listener can accomplish much of auditory scene analysis with only one ear. Research in ASA has inspired many studies in computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) for sound segregation. In this chapter we intr...
