Auditory spatial attention detection (ASAD) seeks to determine which speaker in a surround sound field a listener is focusing on based on the one's brain biosignals. Although existing studies have achieved ASAD from a single-trial electroencephalogra...
To achieve human-like behaviour during speech interactions, it is necessary for a humanoid robot to estimate the location of a human talker. Here, we present a method to optimize the parameters used for the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, whil...
The human nervous system senses the physical world in an analogue but efficient way. As a crucial ability of the human brain, sound localization is a representative analogue computing task and often employed in virtual auditory systems. Different fro...
Mammals localize sounds using information from their two ears. Localization in real-world conditions is challenging, as echoes provide erroneous information and noises mask parts of target sounds. To better understand real-world localization, we equi...

Inspired by the behavior of humans talking in noisy environments, we propose an embodied embedded cognition approach to improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for robots in challenging environments, such as with ego noise, using binaural ...
The peripheral auditory system of lizards has been extensively studied, because of its remarkable directionality. In this paper, we review the research that has been performed on this system using a biorobotic approach. The various robotic implementa...
In multisource, "cocktail party" sound environments, human and animal auditory systems can use spatial cues to effectively separate and follow one source of sound over competing sources. While mechanisms to extract spatial cues such as interaural tim...

This work presents a detailed framework to detect the location of heart sound within the respiratory sound based on temporal fuzzy c-means (TFCM) algorithm. In the proposed method, respiratory sound is first divided into frames and for each frame, th...
The head-related transfer function (HRTF) characterizes the frequency response of the sound traveling path between a specific location and the ear. When it comes to estimating HRTFs by neural network models, angle-specific models greatly outperform g...

When a broadband source of radiated noise transits past a fixed hydrophone, a Lloyd's mirror constructive/destructive interference pattern can be observed in the output spectrogram. By taking the spectrum of a (log) spectrum, the power cepstrum detec...
