Overestimated time-to-collision for quiet vehicles: Evidence from a study using a novel audiovisual virtual-reality system for traffic scenarios

D Oberfeld, M Wessels, D Büttner - Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2022 - Elsevier
To avoid collision, pedestrians intending to cross a road need to estimate the time-to-
collision (TTC) of an approaching vehicle. Here, we present a novel interactive audiovisual …

Enhanced salience of edge frequencies in auditory pattern recognition

M Bürgel, D Mares, K Siedenburg - Attention, Perception, & …, 2024 - Springer
Within musical scenes or textures, sounds from certain instruments capture attention more

Temporal weights in the perception of sound intensity: Effects of sound duration and number of temporal segments

D Oberfeld, J Hots, JL Verhey - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of …, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
Loudness is a fundamental aspect of auditory perception that is closely related to the

[HTML][HTML] Temporal loudness weights for sounds with increasing and decreasing intensity profiles

E Ponsot, P Susini, G Saint Pierre… - The Journal of the …, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
Using molecular psychophysics, temporal loudness weights were measured for 2-s, 1-kHz

Does affective content of sounds affect auditory time-to-collision estimation?

AM Braly, P DeLucia, D Oberfeld - Auditory Perception & Cognition, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
In prior studies, mean estimates of time-to-collision (TTC) of approaching objects were
shorter for threatening pictures (eg, snakes) than non-threatening pictures (eg, rabbits) but …

Investigating multidimensional characteristics of noise signals with tones from building mechanical systems and their effects on annoyance

J Lee, LM Wang - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
This paper investigates multidimensional characteristics of tonal noise from heating,
ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, besides loudness and tonality, to improve …

A robust asymmetry in loudness between rising-and falling-intensity tones

E Ponsot, P Susini, S Meunier - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2015 - Springer
Tones rising in intensity over a few seconds are perceived as louder than symmetrical tones
falling in intensity. However, the causes for such perceptual asymmetry, as well as its …

W Jesteadt, DL Valente, SN Joshi… - The Journal of the …, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
Subjects with normal hearing (NH) and with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) judged the
overall loudness of six-tone complexes comprised of octave frequencies from 0.25 to 8 kHz …

Non-uniform temporal weighting of intensity in audition and vision: The signature of an evidence integration process?

D Oberfeld, A Fischenich, E Ponsot - Acta Acustica, 2024 - acta-acustica.edpsciences.org
Non-uniform temporal weights (TWs) are often reported regarding the perceptual evaluation
of dynamic auditory and visual information, such as perceptual judgments of the overall …

Perceptual weighting of binaural lateralization cues across frequency bands

A Ahrens, SN Joshi, B Epp - Journal of the Association for Research in …, 2020 - Springer
The auditory system uses interaural time and level differences (ITD and ILD) as cues to
localize and lateralize sounds. The availability of ITDs and ILDs in the auditory system is …
