Languages, in all their forms, are the more efficient and natural means for people to
communicate. Enormous quantities of information are produced, distributed and consumed …

Although our sense of hearing is exploited for many ends, its communicative function stands
paramount in our daily lives. Humans are, by nature, a vocal species, and it is perhaps not …

The auditory neural code must serve a wide range of auditory tasks that require great
sensitivity in time and frequency and be effective over the diverse array of sounds present in …

With the growing impact of information technology on daily life, speech is becoming
increasingly important for providing a natural means of communication between humans …

An analytically tractable framework is presented to describe mechanical and neural
processing in the early stages of the auditory system. Algorithms are developed to assess …

The generalized cepstral analysis method is viewed as a unified approach to the cepstral
method and the linear prediction method, in which the model spectrum varies continuously …

We are surrounded by noise; we must be able to separate the signals we want to hear from
those we do not. To overcome this' cocktail party effect'we have developed various …

This paper presents a computational model to simulate normal and impaired auditory-nerve
(AN) fiber responses in cats. The model responses match physiological data over a wider …

Periodicity pitch is the most salient and important of all pitch percepts. Psychoacoustical
models of this percept have long postulated the existence of internalized harmonic …

The last 50 years have witnessed a rapid growth in the understanding of the articulation and
the acoustics of vowels. Contemporary theories of speech perception have concentrated on …
