Exploring perceptual similarities in binaural reverberation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract / Description of output

Reverberation is paramount to the auditory experience. It can influence the perceived size and feel of a space, impact speech intelligibility, and add depth and richness to musical performances. In a previously published perceptual study, listeners rated the similarity of binaural signals coming from different positions in a room. This study compares an objective analysis of the test signals with the perceptual results, in an attempt to determine whether certain room acoustics metrics are more perceptually important when judging the similarity of reverberation in binaural signals. A number of objective room acoustics metrics are explored, including level, colouration, reverberation time, direct-to-reverberant ratio, cross-correlation and direction-of-arrival, as well as an auditory model for predicting binaural externalisation. The results of this study can influence the development of future auditory models that predict binaural reverberation similarity.
