Discrete constriction locations describe a comprehensive range of vocal tract shapes in the Maeda model [0.03%]
离散限制位置可以描述Maeda模型中广泛的声道形状

Jessica L Gaines et al.
The Maeda model was used to generate a large set of vocoid-producing vocal tract configurations. The resulting dataset (a) produced a comprehensive range of formant frequencies and (b) displayed discrete tongue body constriction locations (...

The Harvard/IEEE (henceforth H/I) sentences are widely used for testing speech recognition in English. This study examined whether two talker characteristics, race and gender, are conveyed by 80 of the H/I sentences in their written form, a...
Interaural-time-difference thresholds for broad band-limited pulses are affected by relative bandwidth not temporal envelope sharpness [0.03%]
频宽而非时包络锐度影响宽带限脉冲的两耳时间差阈值

Paul G Mayo
Humans are sensitive to interaural time differences (ITDs) conveyed by slow modulations on high-frequency carrier signals. Sensitivity appears to be affected by temporal envelope sharpness, but it is unclear if there is a limit to which sha...
Pupillary response to dynamic pitch alteration during speech perception in noise [0.03%]
噪声言语感知过程中动态音高改变的瞳孔反应

Jing Shen
Dynamic pitch, also known as intonation, conveys both semantic and pragmatic meaning in speech communication. While alteration of this cue is detrimental to speech intelligibility in noise, the mechanism involved is poorly understood. Using...
Using unilateral stimulation to create a reference for bilateral fusion judgments [0.03%]
使用单侧刺激为双侧融合判断创建参考标准

Measuring binaural fusion can be challenging, especially with bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users. This study validated a technique of using unilateral stimulation to create a reference for measuring fusion. Seven bilateral CI users liste...
Interaction between voice-gender difference and spatial separation in release from masking in multi-talker listening environments [0.03%]
多说话人聆听环境中发音性别差异和空间分离之间的相互作用研究
Yonghee Oh,Sarah E Bridges,Hannah Schoenfeld et al.
Yonghee Oh et al.
Voice-gender difference and spatial separation between talkers are important cues for speech segregation in multi-talker listening environments. The goal of this study was to investigate the interactions of these two cues to explore how the...
Intracranial lateralization bias observed in the presence of symmetrical hearing thresholds [0.03%]
颅内偏侧化倾向在对称性听力阈值存在的情况下被观察到
Matthew J Goupell,Virginia Best,H Steven Colburn
Matthew J Goupell
It is generally assumed that listeners with normal audiograms have relatively symmetric hearing, and more specifically that diotic stimuli (having zero interaural differences) are heard as centered in the head. While measuring intracranial ...

Predicting masked speech perception typically relies on estimates of the spectral distribution of cues supporting recognition. Current methods for estimating band importance for speech-in-noise use filtered stimuli. These methods are not ap...
Speech intelligibility and talker gender classification with noise-vocoded and tone-vocoded speech [0.03%]
噪声 vocoder 语音和tone-vocoding语音的言语可懂度以及说话人性别分类
Sarah Villard,Gerald Kidd Jr
Sarah Villard
Vocoded speech provides less spectral information than natural, unprocessed speech, negatively affecting listener performance on speech intelligibility and talker gender classification tasks. In this study, young normal-hearing participants...
Sex-mismatch benefit for speech-in-speech recognition by pediatric and adult cochlear implant users [0.03%]
听觉脑干植入患者和耳蜗植入患者的言语掩蔽下汉语识别能力的比较研究
Margaret E Richter,Margaret T Dillon,Emily Buss et al.
Margaret E Richter et al.
This project investigated whether pediatric (5-14 years) and adult (30-60 years) cochlear implant (CI) users benefit from a target/masker sex-mismatch for speech-in-speech recognition. Speech recognition thresholds were estimated in a two-m...
