The direction-dependent acoustic ltering of the external ear plays an important role in sound localization. It is believed to be essential for the detection of sound elevation, whereas sound azimuth follows from binaural diierence cues in intensity and phase. Sound elevation is believed to be coded by prominent and characteristic features in the sound power spectrum at the sensory level, like p...

Abstract Background Tinnitus impact on persons’ lifestyle, function, and emotion is of significant importance that has been the leader for conducting an increasing amount research in field tinnitus pathophysiology, assessment, management.

Science ushered in a new era in our ability to learn, be creative, remember, control our moods, reduce stress, resolve unwanted behavior patterns, and a host of other desirable ends, with the appearance of a remarkable paper by Dr. Gerald Oster, of Mt. Sinai Medical Center, in the October 1973 issue of Scientific American. Oster’s paper, entitled “Auditory Beats in the Brain,” described how pul...

This paper outlines a demonstration of the reconstruction of the Poème électronique experience using virtual reality and binaural audio techniques. Here we discuss the genesis of the project, the search for original material, discovery of clues for the reconstruction of several sections of the artwork and the creation of the VR/binaural installation within the context of an interactive exhibition.
