Spatial unmasking on speech reception threshold

A new paper on spatial unmasking in the median plane has been published in the Applied Sciences journal (IF=2.474, Q1, Open Access). This work is Nathan Berwick’s final year project I supervised last year. The paper presents an important novel finding on the existence of spatial unmasking in the median plane in the context of … More Spatial unmasking on speech reception threshold

3D Microphone Array Comparison (3D-MARCo)

In June 2019, I conducted a rather ambitious 3D recording project with my postdoc researcher Dale Johnson and students at the APL. We used a total of 71 microphones to configure eight different 3D main microphone arrays as well as a dummy head and additional supporting microphones (51 of which were DPA D:Dictate mics). Obviously, … More 3D Microphone Array Comparison (3D-MARCo)

Applied Psychoacoustics Lab (APL)/Centre for Audio and Psychoacoustic Engineering (CAPE)

I established the Applied Psychoacoustics Laboratory (APL) in Sep 2013, with three other founding members, Dr Chris Gribben, Dr Rory Wallis and Mark Wendl, who were then my postgraduate students. I remember one night four of us were bouncing off ideas about what name would be best for the lab. One of the candidate names … More Applied Psychoacoustics Lab (APL)/Centre for Audio and Psychoacoustic Engineering (CAPE)
