Dear list,

 

As i am new to the list i'd like to say hello to everyone, and also ask a question.

 

First let me quickly introduce my  field of research, i'm currently conducting some research about objective evaluation techniques for low bit-rate coded  music samples, but in a different way than PEAQ technique

as i intend not to use the original sample for comparison.

 

As i was investigating known coders artifacts i came across one called "birdies effect" and it seems to me

it is quite important, so i researched a bit for litterature, but most of it deals with "birdies effect" from a

coding point of view and i was not abble to find a perceptual approach of the phenonmenon.

 

So finally i would be gratefull if anyone could point me toward some good references, some that could

explain the perceptual impact of such a degradation of the spectrum.

 

 

I hope that was clear enough, many thanks in advance,

 

Maxime
