Schedule in February 2018The 37th Perceptual Frontier Seminar: Auditory Continuity and TimingDate and time: Wednesday, 7 February 2018, 16:00-18:00 Program1. Pause duration influences impressions of speech style in English public speaking 2. Perceptual restoration of interrupted locally time-reversed speech: Preliminary data and analysis The effects of periodical interruption with silence or noise on intelligibility of speech and locally time-reversed speech in Japanese sentences were investigated. A pilot experiment was conducted with eight Japanese normal-hearing participants, using stimuli that were interrupted with 20-120 or 20-220 ms segments. The results showed a possibility that noise insertion improved intelligibility in both interrupted speech and interrupted locally-time reversed speech, although the intelligibility of the interrupted locally-time reversed speech was generally poorer than that of the interrupted speech. 3. A study on continuity perception in glide tones 4. The perception of auditory continuity by cochlear implant listeners The perception of auditory continuity by cochlear implant (CI) users was investigated by testing two groups of listeners (10 CI users, and 10 control listeners with normal-hearing). The participants took part in two tasks in which they heard a pure tone and a narrow-band noise (masker) centred at the frequency of the pure tone: a yes-no task (perceived continuity judgments), and a 2AFC task (masking task). CI listeners reported stronger perceived continuity and masking at a specific masker level, suggesting that susceptibility to masking plays an important role in poor speech-in-noise performance by listeners with cochlear implants. We will get together after the Seminar in Hanahana, an Okinawan restaurant near our Institute <https://tabelog.com/fukuoka/A4001/A400202/40011699/>. Please get in contact with Kazuo Ueda (ueda[at]design.kyushu-u.ac.jp) by Sunday, 4 February, if you would like to join. |
