Objective quality measurement schemes that in- corporate properties of the human auditory system. The basilar membrane(BM) acts as a spectrum analyzer, spatially decomposing the signal into frequency components. Each filterbank is an implementation of the ERB, gam-machirp function. This filterbank is level-dependent asymmetric compensation filters. And for the validation of the auditory model, we calculate the CPD. Quality measurement is obtained from the result.

본 논문에서는 청각 모델을 기초로 잡음에 강한 음성 특징 추출을 연구하였다. 청각모델은 basilar membrane 모델, 섬모세포(hair cell) 모델과 스펙트럼 출력단으로 구성하였다. Basilar membrane 모델은 음파의 진동에 따른 전달 특성을 묘사한 것으로 대역 통과 필터의 열로 나타난다. 섬모 세포 모델은 basilar membrane의 진동에 의한 신경 물질로의 변환을 나타낸다. 이것은 입력의 상대적인 값에 크게 반응하는 adaptation 기능을 이용하게 되며, 잡음 제거에 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 스펙트럼 출력 단은 각 채널의 평균 firing rate를 이용하여 mean rate spectrum을 형성한다. 그리고 mean rate spectrum을 이용하여 특징 벡터를 추출하였다. 실험 결과는 청각 구조에 기초한 특징 추출이 다른 특징 추출 방법에 비해 잡음에서 더 향상된 성능을 가짐을 보였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a measurement scale for evaluating the auditory affect of automobile engine sounds. Methods: In order to collect affective vocabulary, literature review, user tests, and expert interviews were conducted. Affective vocabulary related to automobile engine sounds was selected through three methods. To develop the evaluation scale, open/close card-sorting and expert interview-based survey method was used. Results: The results of this study are as follows; In order to select the main affective vocabulary from the collected vocabulary, 39 vocabularies with a frequency of 5 or higher were selected as vocabulary expressing the main auditory affect of automobile engine sounds. Each affective vocabulary is divided into three di- mensions, it was confirmed that the conceptual model for the auditory affect of automobile engine sounds is composed of three levels: intuitive, descriptive, and evaluative of hierarchical structure. As a result of the study, four indices of intuitive dimension, seven indices of descriptive dimension, and one index of evaluative dimension were derived from the evaluation scale of the auditory affect in an automobile engine sound. Conclusion: The auditory evaluation scale developed in this study can be used to systematically measure and evaluate the auditory affect of automobile engine sounds.

본 논문에서는 잡음 환경에서의 음성 인식을 위한 전처리기로서 청각 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 청각 모델은 와우각 대역 통과 필터와 비선형단으로 구성되어 있으며, 잡음 환경에서도 신호의 주파수 정보와 강도 정보를 효과적으로 표현할 수 있다. 주파수 정보는 신호의 영교차 간격에 의해서, 또 강도 정보는 피크 검출기와 포화 비선형 함수에 의해서 구해진다. 영교차 간격이 교란되는 양의 분산을 교차 레벨 값의 함수로 표현함으로써 영교차 간격을 사용하는 것이 레벨 교차간격에 비해 잡음에 둔감한 특성이 있음을 보였다. 제안된 청각 모델은 다른 청각 모델에 비해 계산량이 적고, 미리 많은 파라미터를 정해줄 필요가 없다. 화자 독립 격리단어 인식 실험 결과 제안된 방법은 잡음 환경에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.

The Drosophila auditory system consists of four large basal segments: the arista, the funiculus, the pedicel, and the scape. When an acoustic stimulus is applied to the arista and the funiculus their mechanical vibrations are transmitted to chordotonal neurons in Johnston's organ where mechanoelectric transduction arises. We study the mechanotransduction mechanism in the Drosophila auditory system by using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) and extracellular electrophysiology. We find that large and small peaks appear alternatively and that the antenna vibration is asymmetric depending on whether the pedicel and the scape are fixed. Interestingly, we find that this asymmetric vibration accompanies the alternating neural peak structure. Here, we propose a mathematical model to explain the alternating peak structure by using a model consisting of two opposing neurons that are modeled as strings. Generally, strings have tension only when they are elongated. This property allows the alternating neural peaks for asymmetric antenna motion.

The speech signal processing in the auditory system can be analysized based on two representations : Average discharge rate and Temporal discharge pattern. But the average discharge rate representation is restricted by the narrow dynamic range because of the rate saturation and the two tone suppression phenomena, and the temporal discharge pattern representation needs a sophisticate frequency analysis and synchrony measure. In this paper, a simple representation is proposed : using a model considering the interaction of Cochlear fluid-BM movement and a haircell model, the feature of speech signals (formant frequency and pitch of vowels) is easily estimated in the Average Synchronized Rate.

HVIMs consists of simulated driver models implemented with series of mathematical functions and computerized vehicle dynamic models. To effectively model the perception process, as a part of driver models, psychophysical nonlinearity should be considered not only for the single-modal stimulus but for the stimulus of multiple modalities and interactions among them. A series of human factors experiments were conducted using the primary sensory of visual and auditory modalities to find out the effects of auditory cues in visual velocity estimation tasks. The variations of auditory cues were found to enhance/reduce the perceived intensity of velocity as the level changed. These results indicate that the conventional psychophysical power functions could not applied for the perception process of the HVIMs with multi-modal stimuli. 'Ruled surfaces' in a 3-D coordinate system(with the intensities of both kinds of stimuli and the ratio of enhancement, respectively for each coordinate) were suggested to model the realistic perception process of multi-modal HVIMs.

In this study, the excitation pattern, which can be sensated by a man having hearing loss due to the damage of inner ear, is extracted, and the procedure of the auditory speech signal processing is simulated with the computer. Therefore, the excitation pattern is extracted by the neural tuning model satisfying the physiological characteristic of the inner ear and by the infor.ation extracted from speech signal. The firing pattern is also extracted by inputting this excitation pattern to the auditory neural model. With this extracted firing pattern, the possibility that the patient can sensate the speech signal is studied by the computer simulation.

Objective quality measurement schemes that incorporate properties of the human auditory system. The basilar membrane (BM) acts as a spectrum analyzer, spatially decomposing the signal into frequency components. Filterbanks were used to complementing the linearity of BM. Each filterbank is an implementation or the Equivalent rectangular Bandwidth (ERB), gammachirp function. This filterbank is level-dependent asymmetric compensation filters. And for the validation of the auditory model, we calculate the calculated perceived difference(CPD).
