The term irrelevant sound effect (ISE) refers to a significant reduction in the immediate serial recall of lists of presented items, usually digits or letters, when irrelevant auditory sound is […]
Sensorineural hearing loss is a common problem and causes a decreasing quality of life for the people affected. For several reasons, the realistic simulation of these impairments may be considered […]
We often see a disconnect between how people express themselves through language and how those words are perceived or interpreted. This gap exists, for example, between architects who strive to […]
Virtual Acoustics (VA) is a powerful framework for the auralization of virtual scenes and is developed at the Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics. It uses physics-based models for source, […]
I conducted my internship at the company AQ Solutions which produces medical implants. It focuses on prostheses for revision surgery, including standard as well as patient specific implants which are […]
The internship was performed in the Human-Machine-Interaction group within the “Automated Driving” business area and deals with two main projects. The first project deals with the development of a system […]
Ultrasonic metal welding (USMW) is a technique of welding small-area materials by means of high-frequency vibration friction welding. Despite its wide use, it is still hard to monitor the welding […]
Cathedrals are significant pieces of architecture, symbols of the European culture, whose grandiosity is the result not only of their extraordinary visual features, but also of their remarkable acoustic environment. […]
Tateo Nakajima will give a talk that will present a selection of his projects and the evolution of his design practice, in light of the key influences that have shaped […]
A listening experiment based on a developed paradigm to investigate the intentional switching of auditory selective attention with binaural sound reproduction was conducted to examine the influence of generic, individualized […]
Für die möglichst präzise Auralisation von virtuellen Umgebungen ist die Kenntnis des genauen Schallfeldes der akustischen Szene notwendig. Einen Anteil zum diffusen Schall liefert dabei die Streuung an unebenen Oberflächen. […]
The colloquium talk will be about my duties and activities during my industrial internship at the company HEAD acoustics GmbH. It will focus on the two main projects I worked […]
A previous study showed that background noises and background speech deteriorate children’s listening comprehension, as children lack the ability to neglect irrelevant sounds. A classroomlike atmosphere is required for an […]
The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT) aims at developing and improving production machines and technologies. The current internship was conducted under the department of precision technology and automation of […]
Aalto Acoustics Lab (Espoo, Finland) is a collective of five professors working on different topics in audio and acoustics ranging from concert halls to acoustic materials and from virtual analog […]
My internship at Müller-BBM Industry Solutions GmbH involved various tasks in the field of traffic noise research. This included on-site certification of ISO noise test tracks in France and Morocco. […]
Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) describe the filter process of the incident sound caused by reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference with the ear for a random source position in space to […]
I am a new doctoral candidate at the BMW Group & IHTA and I will give an overview of my past research. During my bachelor’s thesis at FAU in Erlangen, […]
The main purpose of this study is to model the transmission of vibrations in the skull bone using equivalent circuits. For this purpose, further knowledge of the equivalent circuit model […]
Die Notwendigkeit gesetzlicher Regulierungen des Außengeräuschs von Personenkraftwagen (PKW) resultiert aus dem Einfluss von Lärm auf das menschliche Wohlbefinden. Die Messung von PKW-Außengeräuschen wird unter genormten Bedingungen nach gesetzlichen Regulierungen […]
