How do humans attend to and pick out relevant auditory objects amongst all other sounds in
the environment? Based on neurophysiological findings we propose two task oriented …

One of the hallmarks of sound processing in the brain is the ability of the nervous system to
adapt to changing behavioral demands and surrounding soundscapes. It can dynamically …

Parsing natural acoustic scenes using computational methodologies poses many
challenges. Given the rich and complex nature of the acoustic environment, data mismatch …

Here, we propose a framework that provides a detailed analysis of the spectrotemporal
modulations in the acoustic signal, augmented with a discriminative classifier using support …

The cocktail party problem is a multi-faceted challenge which encompasses various aspects
of auditory perception. Its processes underlie the brain's ability to detect, identify and classify …

Identification of acoustic scenes often relies on finding the most informative features that best
characterize the physical nature of sound sources in the scene. In this paper, we propose a …

The acoustic environment surrounding us is extremely dynamic and unstructured in nature.
Humans exhibit a great ability at navigating these complex acoustic environments, and can …

The performance for automated speech processing tasks like speech recognition and
speech activity detection rapidly degrades in challenging acoustic conditions. It is therefore …

Humans are constantly exposed to a variety of acoustic stimuli ranging from music and
speech to more complex acoustic scenes like a noisy marketplace. The human auditory …
