Gierden: Investigation of the relationship between switching auditory selective attention and heart rate variability of children

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

Noise is known to influence human cognitive performance such as auditory selective attention. Not only cognitive abilities, but also physiological reactions can be measured when being exposed to noise. In comparison to adults, children are even more exposed to noise. Especially in educational buildings, such as schools, children are confronted with many different sound sources, […]

Ji: Extending a paradigm on the intentional switching of auditory selective attention towards complex stimuli

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

Auditory selective attention (ASA) refers to the mental ability to resist distractors and to focus on a specific sound in a complex acoustic environment. Revealing the factors that affect people’s ASA can help to improve student’s learning environment. Thus, studies have been conducted both in real life and virtual reality (VR) environments. This study aimed to make a […]

Seven stimuli were recorded […]

Nugraheni: Numerical simulation and evaluation of scattering coefficients of building facades

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

The acoustic propagation of sound in the open field or in the interior can be calculated efficiently and in high quality by geometric simulation methods. However, for correct simulations, accurate surface parameters such as absorption and scattering coefficients are required. In this thesis, the scattering coefficient of different facades is simulated with established numerical methods. […]

Möhlmann: Finite Element Simulation of the Occlusion Effect in the Ear Canal

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

English: When the ear canal is occluded by devices such as headphones or hearing aids, the auditory perception of bone-conducted sounds is increased, which results, e.g., in an alteration of one’s own voice perception. The effect is caused by a motion of the skull that deforms the cartilage and bone to radiate sound into the […]

Merten: Performance of short term memory under the influence of (a)synchronous audio visual speech stimuli

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

Nowadays, more and more conversations are conducted via technical aids, such as computers or mobile phones. In technology, there can be connection or processing problems that lead to disturbances in playback. As a result, audio and video signals, for example, are time-delayed, which can be noticeable and disturbing. Since short-term memory is needed, especially in […]

Sun: Numerical analysis of anvil vibrations during Ultrasonic Metal Welding

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

Ultrasonic Metal Welding (USMW) is a widely used manufacturing technology for joining metal components in modern industry. The metal sheets which are placed above the anvil need to be bonded. The sonotrode, which is also called the horn, vibrates at high frequency and on the top of the metal sheets. The constant clamp force applied […]

Merino-Martinez: Acoustic imaging in aeroacoustic applications

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

Aircraft and wind turbine noise emissions are increasingly important issues for society due to the noise annoyance and negative health effects in local communities, as well as for the industry due to operational limitations imposed by noise regulations. The field of aeroacoustics aims at understanding the noise generation mechanisms behind these emissions and, ultimately, device […]

Lautenbach: The acoustical design process of a classical concert hall

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

In this talk we will follow the acoustical investigations in the design process of a classical concert hall, from the first talk with the client, listening to several halls, setting the goals, acoustic modelling: computational and with a scale model, the interaction with the architect, construction and HVAC engineers, to the measurements and first rehearsals […]

Li: Short-term memory performance under audio-visual mismatch of lip-movements

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

In modern life, the proportion of computer-mediated conversations is gradually increasing, e.g., lectures via zoom, or virtual reality (VR). In real-life, information is perceived multi-modal: in addition to visual information, sound as auditory information is received and remembered along with coherent visual cues, such as lip-movement. However, due to the instability of the network in […]

Infantes: Development of a methodology for architectural reconstructions using point clouds including data capture and management

Zoom-Meeting

Point Clouds has been used in architectural representation and digital reconstruction, usually are called Digital Twins. These models should offer measurement accuracy and complete compatibility in all phases of architectural design and simulation. The standards of data treatment and the pipework available are licensed by software companies unable to offer the control of the information […]

Dokhanchi: Measurement of the Indoor Air Temperature Distribution using Acoustic Travel-Time TOMography (ATOM)

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Personen) Kopernikusstrasse 5, Aachen

To assess the thermal comfort in the indoor spaces such as office rooms generally a large number of thermal sensors is mounted in the workplaces. The main drawback of this conventional method is recording data at certain locations instead of distribution of the target parameter in the entire room including the occupant zone. To overcome […]

Li: Geometry reduction of acoustic models

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Personen) Kopernikusstrasse 5, Aachen

Audio-visual experiences of modeled spaces play a key role when studying the human perception of the built environment, and the results should give us an intuitive sense of the real situation. Acoustic models need a low number of polygons in order to be simulated efficiently. It is at the same time important to retain acoustic […]

Schmitt: The influence of realistic background noise on auditory selective attention

IHTA Seminarraum (60 Persons) and Zoom-Meeting (Hybrid) Kopernikusstr. 5, Aachen, Deutschland

Every day we are exposed to background noise with a multitude of simultaneous noises from different origin, for example on the bus, at work, or at a party. Nevertheless, we can listen to specific sounds or voices out of this mixture due to our ability of auditory selective attention, which enables us to focus on […]
