Auralization systems for auditory research should ideally be validated by perceptual
experiments, as well as objective measures. This study employed perceptual tests to …

Virtual audio simulation uses head-related transfer function (HRTF) synthesis and
headphone playback to create a sound field similar to real-life environments. Localization …

Listening tests were carried out for investigating the localization judgments of 40 untrained
subjects through equalized headphones and with HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) …

The bottleneck for an immersive binaural sound synthesis is the acquirement of individual
Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTF). Manifold HRTF approaches to circumvent the …

Fast generation of personalized head-related transfer functions is essential for rendering
spatial audio. In this paper, we propose to generate head-related transfer functions using a …

Objective: Four head-related transfer function (HRTF) data sets were compared to determine
the effect of HRTF measurement methodology on the localization of spatialized auditory …

In a multi-part study, first-person horizontal movement between two virtual sound source
locations in an auditory virtual environment (AVE) was investigated by evaluating the …

Correct determination of sound source location often fails during headphone playback in
virtual simulation. Among other cues, small movements of the head are considered to be …

We propose a novel probabilistic method for quantitative analysis of the sound localization
performance. The analysis is based on the two kinds of probability distributions estimated …

Art is a powerful form of communication between artists and audiences. In this thesis, I will
explore two questions that emerge from the literature on art as a means of communication …
