Theory of Propagation of Elastic Waves in a Fluid-Saturated Porous Solid. I. Low-Frequency Range
Tập 28 Số 2 - Trang 168-178 - 1956
Maurice A. Biot
A theory is developed for the propagation of stress waves in a porous elastic solid containing compressible viscous fluid. The emphasis of the present treatment is on materials where fluid and solid are of comparable densities as for instance in the case of water-saturated rock. The paper denoted here as Part I is restricted to the lower frequency range where the assumption of Poiseuille f...... hiện toàn bộ
Transformed Up-Down Methods in Psychoacoustics
Tập 49 Số 2B - Trang 467-477 - 1971
Harry Levitt
During the past decade a number of variations in the simple up-down procedure have been used in psychoacoustic testing. A broad class of these methods is described with due emphasis on the related problems of parameter estimation and the efficient placing of observations. The advantages of up-down methods are many, including simplicity, high efficiency, robustness, small-sample reliability...... hiện toàn bộ
Some Experiments on the Recognition of Speech, with One and with Two Ears
Tập 25 Số 5 - Trang 975-979 - 1953
E. Colin Cherry
This paper describes a number of objective experiments on recognition, concerning particularly the relation between the messages received by the two ears. Rather than use steady tones or clicks (frequency or time-point signals) continuous speech is used, and the results interpreted in the main statistically. Two types of test are reported: (a) the behavior o...... hiện toàn bộ
Control Methods Used in a Study of the Vowels
Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 175-184 - 1952
Gordon E. Peterson, Harold L. Barney
Relationships between a listener's identification of a spoken vowel and its properties as revealed from acoustic measurement of its sound wave have been a subject of study by many investigators. Both the utterance and the identification of a vowel depend upon the language and dialectal backgrounds and the vocal and auditory characteristics of the individuals concerned. The purpose of this ...... hiện toàn bộ
Stimulated acoustic emissions from within the human auditory system
Tập 64 Số 5 - Trang 1386-1391 - 1978
David T. Kemp
A new auditory phenomenon has been identified in the acoustic impulse response of the human ear. Using a signal averaging technique, a study has been made of the response of the closed external acoustic meatus to acoustic impulses near to the threshold of audibility. Particular attention has been paid to the waveform of the response at post excitation times in excess of 5 ms. No previous w...... hiện toàn bộ
Development of the Hearing In Noise Test for the measurement of speech reception thresholds in quiet and in noise
Tập 95 Số 2 - Trang 1085-1099 - 1994
Michael J. Nilsson, Sigfrid D. Soli, Jean Sullivan
A large set of sentence materials, chosen for their uniformity in length and representation of natural speech, has been developed for the measurement of sentence speech reception thresholds (sSRTs). The mean-squared level of each digitally recorded sentence was adjusted to equate intelligibility when presented in spectrally matched noise to normal-hearing listeners. These materials were ca...... hiện toàn bộ
Acoustic characteristics of American English vowels
Tập 97 Số 5 - Trang 3099-3111 - 1995
James Hillenbrand, Laura Arlene Getty, Michael Clark, Kimberlee Wheeler
The purpose of this study was to replicate and extend the classic study of vowel acoustics by Peterson and Barney (PB) [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 24, 175–184 (1952)]. Recordings were made of 45 men, 48 women, and 46 children producing the vowels /i,i,e,ε,æ,a,open‘‘oh’’,o,u,u,Λ,hook backward‘‘eh’’/ in h–V–d syllables. Formant contours for F1–F4 were measured from LPC spectra using a custom intera...... hiện toàn bộ
An Analysis of Perceptual Confusions Among Some English Consonants
Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 338-352 - 1955
George A. Miller, Patricia E. Nicely
Sixteen English consonants were spoken over voice communication systems with frequency distortion and with random masking noise. The listeners were forced to guess at every sound and a count was made of all the different errors that resulted when one sound was confused with another. With noise or low-pass filtering the confusions fall into consistent patterns, but with high-pass filtering ...... hiện toàn bộ
A cochlear frequency-position function for several species—29 years later
Tập 87 Số 6 - Trang 2592-2605 - 1990
Donald D. Greenwood
Accurate cochlear frequency-position functions based on physiological data would facilitate the interpretation of physiological and psychoacoustic data within and across species. Such functions might aid in developing cochlear models, and cochlear coordinates could provide potentially useful spectral transforms of speech and other acoustic signals. In 1961, an almost-exponential function w...... hiện toàn bộ
YIN, a fundamental frequency estimator for speech and music
Tập 111 Số 4 - Trang 1917-1930 - 2002
Alain de Cheveigné, Hideki Kawahara
An algorithm is presented for the estimation of the fundamental frequency (F0) of speech or musical sounds. It is based on the well-known autocorrelation method with a number of modifications that combine to prevent errors. The algorithm has several desirable features. Error rates are about three times lower than the best competing methods, as evaluated over a database of speech recorded t...... hiện toàn bộ
