Enhancing the Utility of Spatial Auditory Displays for Military Applications

Abstract

This project had the following specific aims: Aim 1: Enhance directional localization accuracy when directional cues are non-individualized. Aim 2: Enhance distance localization accuracy. Aim 3: Enhance accuracy of perceived trajectories of moving sounds. To accomplish these aims, funding for a state-of-the-art anechoic chamber facility with a robotic loudspeaker positioning system (LPS) was requested. These items of research infrastructure were designed, built, and installed during the funding period, and will serve the University of Louisville and the Commonwealth of Kentucky as valuable assets for facilitating research in the hearing and acoustical sciences for years to come. Due to delays in installation and implementation of these items, and the departure of the project's original principal investigator (Dr. Frederic Wightman), progress toward the scientific aims of this project, particularly Aims 1 and 3, was less than desirable.
