Wood, K. C. "How is sound location represented in auditory cortex?" Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2015. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1473329/.

Abstract:

The present work tested two competing hypotheses about how the location of sounds in space is encoded by auditory cortex. The labelled-line hypothesis says that each azimuthal location is encoded by maximal firing of a specific small and sharply tuned population of neurons. The two-channel hypothesis says that a sound location is encoded by the relative activity of two populations of neurons with broad tuning and maximal activity at ± 90. To test these hypotheses a new behavioural task was developed in which subjects had to report the location of a target sound relative to a preceding referen

Abstract:

In open skill sports and other tasks, decision-making can be as important as physical performance. Whereas many studies have investigated visual perception there is little research on auditory perception as one aspect of decision making. Auditory localisation studies have almost exclusively focussed on underlying processes, such as interaural time difference and interaural level difference. It is not known, however, whether semantic spatial information contained in the sound is actually used, and whether it assists pure auditory localisation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect

Abstract:

This thesis investigates both the physical origin and the physiological coding of pinna-based spectral features observed in experimental Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs). An experimental method for measuring HRTFs using a Knowles Electronics Manikin for Acoustic Research (KEMAR) is presented. The method includes a technique for moulding individualised pinnae to be fitted on to the KEMAR's head. Experimental HRTF data obtained with this method are shown and analysed. The most remarkable pinna-based spectral features are identified and their dependency on source location is characterised,

Abstract:

The detection of sound sources with microphone arrays can be enhanced through processing individual microphone signals prior to the delay and sum operation. One method in particular, the Phase Transform (PHAT) has demonstrated improvement in sound source location images, especially in reverberant and noisy environments. Recent work proposed a modification to the PHAT transform that allows varying degrees of spectral whitening through a single parameter, andamp;acirc;, which has shown positive improvement in target detection in simulation results.

Abstract:

This thesis demonstrates an approach to composing with environmental sound that uses spatial concepts and techniques to bridge the aesthetic divide between reductive and relative compositional philosophies. It responds to the complex issues of contextual integration and separation through a detailed compositional approach, which uses the spatial medium of acousmatic music to translate aspects of acoustic ecology, biomimetics, soundscape and ecoacoustics into the domain of contemporary composition. This research makes claims to new knowledge by examining how compositional activities inform t

When the speaker becomes narrow, the small width of the radiating plate will limit the size of the conventional circular transducer. The sound pressure level (SPL) of the speaker will become low and a major SPL dip in the mid frequency range may be incurred. In this thesis, the contents are divided into two parts.

Recently, many sparse source separation algorithms using time-frequency masking have been proposed. However, most of these algorithms demand a known number of mixed sources in advance, which is not convenient in practice. In our proposed method, we first model the histogram of estimated angles of the direction of arrival (DOA) with a generalized Gaussian mixture model (GGMM) for detecting the number of sources and sound locations.
