  1. 36. Perception, Analysis and Synthesis of Speaker Age

    Författare :Susanne Schötz; Fonetik; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; phonology; perceptual cues; speaker age; automatic speaker recognition; acoustic analysis; acoustic correlates; data-driven; Phonetics; formant synthesis; Fonetik; fonologi; Technological sciences; Teknik;

    Sammanfattning : Speaker age is an important paralinguistic feature in speech which has to be considered in the study of phonetic variation. Knowledge about this feature may be used to improve speech technology applications, e.g. automatic speech recognition and speech synthesis. LÄS MER

  3. 37. The psychophysics of human echolocation

    Författare :Carlos Tirado Aldana; Mats Nilsson; Daniel Västfjäll; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Detection; Individual differences; Human echolocation; Lateralization; Localization; Echobot; Psychology; psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Echolocation is the capacity to detect, localize, discriminate, and, overall, gather spatial information from sound reflections. Since we began studying it in humans, we have learned several things. First, most humans can echolocate to some degree. LÄS MER

  4. 38. Auditory and Olfactory Abilities in Blind and Sighted Individuals : More Similarities than Differences

    Författare :Stina Cornell Kärnekull; Maria Larsson; Mats E Nilsson; Johan Willander; Fredrik U Jönsson; Johannes Frasnelli; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; absolute threshold; audition; autobiographical memory; blindness; discrimination; episodic recognition; identification; imagery; judgments of learning; memory; metacognition; olfaction; onset age of blindness; reminiscence bump; sensory compensation; Psychology; psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Blind individuals face various challenges in everyday life because of the lack of visual input. However, since they need to rely on the non-visual senses for everyday tasks, for instance, when navigating the environment, the question has been raised as to whether perceptual and cognitive abilities in these senses may be enhanced.

  5. 39. Ljudstrukturen i dialekten i Rödåliden : Auditiv analys av fonemen i en norrländsk dialekt i början av 2000-talet

    Författare :Rune Westerlund; Lars-Erik Edlund; Eva Strangert; Gjert Kristoffersen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; functional; informants; commutation; distribution; tonal accent; circumflex accent; auditory; cacuminal; Västerbotten; Swedish language; Svenska språket;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates the sound structure of the dialect of the Rödåliden area in the province of Västerbotten in Northern Sweden. The aim is to describe the phonological system with a structural approach. LÄS MER

  7. 40. Embodied psychoacoustics: Spatial and multisensory determinants of auditory-induced emotion

    Författare :Ana Tajadura; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ecological psychoacoustics; multisensory perception; emoacoustics; vibrotactile; auditory-induced emotion; embodiment; peripersonal space; self-representation;

    Sammanfattning : The research presented in this thesis focuses on auditory perception, bringing together traditional psychoacoustics, emotion, embodiment and multisensory research. In particular, the current research explored how sound, and the interpretation the listener makes of it, induces emotions in people. LÄS MER
