Sound perception and production in a foreign language
… the influence of orthographic marking on the perception and production of German vowel length. It was assumed that explicit markings such as the Dehnungs-h ("lengthening h") could help Polish GFL learners in perceiving and producing German words more correctly. The discrimination experiment …

"Tuning In": Sound Perception and Embodiment for Pauline Oliveros
… is a foundational figure to the field of Sound Studies, and that her practice of Deep Listening reorients listening as a fully embodied experience, predating R. Murray Schafer’s groundbreaking work The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World in 1994.

Soundfield representation, reconstruction and perception
This thesis covers the area of soundfield representation, reconstruction and perception. The complexity and information content of a soundfield presents many mathematical and engineering challenges for accurate reconstruction. After an in-depth review of the field of mathematical soundfield …

Eight Legs And A Brain: Locomotor Mimicry Of Ants And Neuroethology Of Jumping Spiders
… (Chapter 3) takes a neuroethological approach to sound perception in the jumping spider Phidippus audax. Chapter 1 uses observations and collections from sites across France to study the relationship between mimics and co-occurring ant species. Behavioral trials also explore how individual jumping …

Ensemble Within and Across Musical Instruments
… This "ensemble coding" or summary statistical perception has been widely documented for the visual system, and has recently been found to also hold for sound perception. For example, when a sequence of tones is played, observers are poor at remembering the specific tones while good at …

Invasive and Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Strategies for the Treatment of Tinnitus
… stages before reaching the auditory cortex for sound perception. However, descending projections and non-auditory inputs into the central auditory system also play a vital role in shaping neural coding along the auditory pathway. The work in this thesis seeks to investigate the organization and …

Informing the next generation of auditory midbrain implants, neuronal population dynamics in the auditory cortex and midbrain, and the potentials of optogenetic stimulation
… the area's natural inputs and achieve useful sound perception. Additionally, electrode based devices afford poor spatial resolution, which optogenetics may solve. Simultaneous silicon probe recordings were performed in the inferior colliculus (IC) and auditory cortex (AC) of awake, head-fixed …

Simply (neuro-)stimulating: The effects of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation on phonological and lexical tone learning indexed by behavior and pupillometry
… high proficiencies (e.g., Pelzl et al., 2019b). Sound perception training has been shown to help native English speakers perceive lexical tone differences, but acquiring lexical tone as a feature still remains difficult, even after as many as 18 training sessions (Bowles et al., 2016; …

The auditory fingerprint : multidimensional characterization of individual pitch perception in musicians
… differences in elementary hearing functions, sound perception mode, musical instrument preference, performance style, as well as musical abilities such as absolute- and relative pitch perception or auditory imagery (audiation). However, relevant literature in the field regarding perceptual and …

Using Phoneme Groups to Train Deep Learning Models to Remove Reverberation in Cochlear Implant Stimulus Patterns
… (CI) is a medical device that aims to restore sound perception and speech intelligibility to individuals with profound sensorineural hearing loss. CIs mimic the function of the auditory system by transforming an acoustic signal into a sequence of electrical pulses that stimulate the auditory …

Enhancing voice pitch perception in cochlear implants
… restoring hearing and, to many users, speech perception. However, they suffer in more complex tasks such as pitch perception. In particular, poor voice pitch perception affects CI users’ ability to perceive information necessary for contextual cues in speech, such as emotion, speaker gender, …

Investigating motor skills of visually impaired young people and the use of sound to guide movements
… current thesis investigated this topic using a perception-action framework. <br/><br/>Four studies were conducted to assess the motor performance of visually impaired (VI) and sighted young people. Studies were designed to be close to the execution of object control and locomotor actions in …
