Human Sound Localization. New Research Techniques and Applications
Abstract
This grant provided funds for purchase of high-speed signal processing equipment to be used in connection with psychophysical research on human sound localization. The equipment consisted of a general-purpose minicomputer (VAX-11/750), attached array processor, high-resolution analog input-output, miscellaneous communications and graphics peripherals, and software. The equipment was installed three months into the grant period, and was fully operational three months later. In the remaining six months of the grant period, research was begun on several of the experiments outlined in the original proposal. These experiments addressed the issues of intersubject variability, frequently range necessary for localization, and influence of spectral smoothing. Since these experiments required extensive software development, none has been completed. At the end of the grant period, all hardware and software needed in the research was in place, and the research was proceeding along exactly the same lines as outlined in the original proposal.
