The Effects of Speech Cues on Long-term Memory
… intentional memory and possible phonologic cues in the human voice. Specifically, if someone has told us something in the past, does hearing that same voice at the time of recall affect our ability to remember what was said? Also, if voice cues do affect memory, is the effect voice-specific? …

Perceptual cues of consonant sounds and impact of sensorineural hearing loss on speech perception
… and mask- ing noise on the perception of basic speech sounds based on the information of identified speech cues. A psychoacoustic method, named three-dimensional deep search (3DDS), is developed to identify the perceptual cues of consonant sounds in natural speech. Unlike the conventional method …

Audiovisual Integration During Novel Word Learning Among School-Aged Children with Cochlear Implants
… to see someone’s mouth move as they speak boosts speech perception for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Thus, children with CIs are often instructed to orient themselves toward the person they are listening to, to gain access to visual speech cues. Children with CIs who are better …

A high accuracy nonlinear model of the human cochlea
… gram) seems to predict the audibility of speech cues in noise as well as or better than the articulation index gram in most cases, although a thorough comparative analysis must still be conducted. At a 16 [kHz] sampling rate, simulating 100 frequency channels on the cochlea, a Matlab …

A theory of speech perception in normal and hearing-impaired ears
… the longstanding problem of understanding human speech perception. We aim to study speech perception and decode perceptual cues in speech by conducting psychoacoustic experiments on several subjects by presenting them with nonsense consonant-vowel (CV) syllables in various kinds of masking noise …

Articulatory feature encoding and sensorimotor training for tactually supplemented speech reception by the hearing-impaired
… builds on previous efforts to develop tactile speech-reception aids for the hearing-impaired. Whereas conventional hearing aids mainly amplify acoustic signals, tactile speech aids convert acoustic information into a form perceptible via the sense of touch. By facilitating visual speechreading …

Neural Correlates of Auditory -Visual Speech Perception in Noise
Speech perception in noise may be facilitated by presenting the concurrent optic stimulus of observable speech gestures. Objective measures such as event-related potentials (ERPs) are crucial to understanding the processes underlying a facilitation of auditory-visual speech perception. Previous …

Enhancing voice pitch perception in cochlear implants
… partially 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 …

Video Content Extraction: Scene Segmentation, Linking And Attention Detection
… the combination of both their visual content and speech content. Visually, each news story is represented by a set of key frames, which may or may not contain human faces. The facial key frames are linked based on the analysis of the extended facial regions, and the non-facial key frames are …
