Empirical performance of optimal Bayesian adaptive estimation.

29 Apr 2009 Simulation studies have shown how Bayesian adaptive estimation methods should be set up for optimal performance. We assessed the extent to which these results hold up for human observers, who are more subject to failure than simulation subjects. ... Read more...

The law of categorical judgment (Corrected) and the interpretation of changes in psychophysical performance.

30 Dec 2008 Signal detection theory (SDT) makes the frequently challenged assumption that decision criteria have no variance. An extended model, the Law of Categorical Judgment, relaxes this assumption. The long accepted equation for the law, however, is ... Read more...

Beamforming synthesis of binaural responses from computer simulations of acoustic spaces.

29 Jun 2008 Auditorium designs can be evaluated prior to construction by numerical modeling of the design. High-accuracy numerical modeling produces the sound pressure on a rectangular grid, and subjective assessment of the design requires auralization of the ... Read more...
