This study evaluated a recent proposal that the steep roll-off in fine structure-based sensitivity to interaural time delay (ITD-FS) between 1.2 and 1.5 kHz could be because of diminishing spread of excitation to a dominance region around 7...
Pre-aspiration and longitudinal voice quality trends in Received Pronunciation: The case of Queen Elizabeth II [0.03%]
关于英式发音的预辅音和纵向声质趋势：伊丽莎白二世女王案例研究

No longitudinal studies have reported rates of pre-aspiration across the lifespan of an individual, and few have investigated changes in local breathiness and glottalisation vis-à-vis pre-aspiration, though they have been previously shown ...
An evolutionary history of human listening: Mismatches between auditory priors and contemporary acoustic environments [0.03%]
人类听觉的进化历史：听觉先验与当代声学环境之间的不匹配

Modern soundscapes differ from those in which our auditory systems evolved. We examine the evolutionary history of two aspects of hominin hearing with implications for life in the Anthropocene. First, adaptations facilitating localization o...
Improving zero-shot style transfer text-to-speech by disentangled fine-grained style modeling [0.03%]

Recent zero-shot style-transfer speech synthesis methods have shown promising results and addressed adaptation to unseen speaking styles. While most state-of-the-art methods generalize to new speakers and styles using large models or corpor...

Reports of audible sonic booms along the south-central California coast during SpaceX Falcon 9 launch ascents prompted measurements in Ventura County during summer 2024. A total of 132 measurements were made over six launches, with 16-25 me...

Arrival times of sub-bottom reflected paths together with co-located direct measurements of the angle of intromission provide narrow constraints on the sediment sound speed profile. Measurements of these two quantities at the central New En...
Reverberation exacerbates effects of interruption on auditory spatial selective attention [0.03%]
混响增强了中断对听觉空间注意力选择的影响

Everyday listening requires focusing on one talker while ignoring competing sounds, a process challenged by reverberation and unexpected distractions. Here, we asked whether reverberation decreases effects of distractions by reducing the sa...
Depth interference in the deep ocean with application to underwater source localization [0.03%]
深海中的深度干扰及其在水下声源定位中的应用

In the deep sea, line spectra in target radiated noise often possess a higher signal-to-noise ratio than broadband components. This makes narrowband localization a valuable complement when broadband methods fail. Utilizing a near-bottom ver...
Speaking rate normalization with and without spatial segregation of simultaneous context sentences [0.03%]
有和没有同时性情境句子的空间隔离的说话速率规范化

Fast-rate speech can encourage perception of subsequent speech as longer-duration (e.g., longer voice onset time) and vice versa. Bosker, Sjerps, and Reinisch [Sci. Rep. 10(1), 5607 (2020)] suggested that these temporal contrast effects (TC...

Modeling articulatory representations is critical to the scientific study of speech production, including its relation to speech acoustics. However, discretizing articulatory dynamics in continuous speech has proven computationally taxing. ...
