Studies on the role of the mammalian external ear in directional hearing
… and by cochlear microphone (CM) recordings. The directional properties and transfer functions of the external ears were monitored using pure tones and broadband sound under anechoic conditions.

Understanding and Mimicking the Fly's Directional Hearing: Modeling, Sensor Development, and Experimental Studies
… constraint for the miniaturization of directional microphones. In nature, animal hearing organs are also governed by the size constraint; the smaller the organ size, the smaller the available directional cues for directional hearing. However, with an auditory organ separation of only …

FLY-EAR INSPIRED MINIATURE SENSOR SYSTEM FOR TWO-DIMENSIONAL SOUND SOURCE LOCALIZATION
… to this dilemma came about when studying the hearing mechanisms of a particular fly, known as Ormia ochracea. Background research into the hearing mechanisms of the fly found that it can accurately locate a sound source even though its eardrums are separated by a distance of only 500 μm. The …

Richtungshoeren bei Kindern mit bilateralen Cochlea-Implantaten im Vergleich zu Kindern mit unilateralem Cochlea-Implantat
Das Cochlea-Implantat oeffnet gehoerlos geborenen Kindern ein Tor in eine fuer sie neue Welt. CI ermoeglichen die Integration in eine akustisch orientierte Umwelt. Standardmaessig werden Patienten heutzutage unilateral mit CI versorgt. Mit modernen Geraeten laesst sich auch damit eine sehr gute …

Biologically-inspired auditory artificial intelligence for speech recognition in multi-talker environments
Understanding speech in the presence of distracting talkers is a difficult computational problem known as the cocktail party problem. Motivated by auditory processing in the human brain, this thesis developed a neural network to isolate the speech of a single talker given binaural input containing …

Biologically inspired binaural sound source localization and tracking for mobile robots
This thesis proposes biologically inspired methods of binaural sound source localization for mobile robots. We also propose a method for modulating a robot's attention inspired from the barn owl and last, a tracking system which makes it possible for a robot to track objects emitting sounds. …
