  2. 11. Sound Quality of Flue Organ Pipe. An Interdisciplinary Study on the Art of Voicing

    Author : Vincent Rioux; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; listening tests; psychoacoustics; verbal descriptors; flue organ pipes; musical acoustics; sound quality; deterministic stochastic separation; timbre; time-frequency analysis;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a research study carried out in collaboration with a department of applied acoustics, a department of musical acoustics and an organ workshop. The description of the sound quality of flue organ pipes has received fairly little attention either in organ-building or scientific literature, despite its importance in the overall quality of the instrument, probably due to the difficulties inherent in doing so.

  4. 12. Unwanted wanted sounds : Perception of sounds from water structures in urban soundscapes

    Author : Maria Rådsten Ekman; Mats E Nilsson; Catherine Lavandier; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Perception; psychoacoustics; soundscape; water-sound; psykologi; Psychology;

    Abstract : Water structures, for example, fountains, are common design elements in urban open public spaces. Their popularity is probably explained by their visual attractiveness. Less is known about how the sounds of water struc-tures influence the urban soundscape. READ MORE

  5. 13. Probabilistic Modelling of Hearing : Speech Recognition and Optimal Audiometry

    Author : Svante Stadler; Arne Leijon; Stefan Stenfelt; KTH; []
    Keywords : auditory models; probabilistic modelling; speech modelling; human speech recognition; hearing aids; cochlear implants; psychoacoustics; diagnostic methods; optimal experiments; audiometry;

    Abstract : Hearing loss afflicts as many as 10\% of our population.Fortunately, technologies designed to alleviate the effects ofhearing loss are improving rapidly, including cochlear implantsand the increasing computing power of digital hearing aids. Thisthesis focuses on theoretically sound methods for improvinghearing aid technology. READ MORE

  6. 14. Embodied cognition and emotion in multisensory media

    Author : Ana Tajadura; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; media; emotion; psychoacoustics; auditory-induced emotions; embodied emotion; presence.; self-representation; embodiment; multisensory perception;

    Abstract : Emotions underlie most events in our everyday life perception. They prepare ourselves for an optimum response to these events, either showing attraction or rejection to them. Likewise, media has the power to evoke in us similar affective processes as the ones created by real situations. READ MORE
