=====================================================================

Audio Systems Laboratory of Nokia Research Center has four groups
active in

audio related research. Those are Car and Vehicle Communications,
Audio

Coding, Audio Signal Processing and Acoustics. Acoustics group
studies real

3-dimensional sound fields and related structures numerically. Car
and

Vehicle Communications group's main concern is user interfaces
employing

exchange of information by means of audio signals. For Audio Coding
and

Audio Signal Processing it is the audio information content of a
signal

being transferred and used for sound reproduction which is
considered.

Our research is application oriented. The direction is dictated by
the needs

of the production units of Nokia. Our efforts are focused on
improvement of

sound quality in various devices. In all research we are facing the
problem,

that the final criteria of determining sound quality are set by human

perception of sound, which is beyond our expertise. To enhance our

collective understanding in this field we are planning to start a new

research activity in the field fo psychoacoustics.

The first practical task for the psychoacoustics expert at our
laboratory

would be designing subjective listening tests for experimenting with

different audio processing features like noise cancelling and 3D
sound

effects. More advanced subjects of interest in this context would be

directional hearing, i.e. head related transfer functions, and
masking

effects.
