On 12 Feb 2008, there was a posting on the auditory.org
discussion group about the launch of Audience, Inc.:
CASA
on your
http://www.mobilehandsetdesignline.com/products/206401565
I would like to follow up on that posting, and introduce
Audience to the auditory.org community. Audience’s underlying technology
is based on many years of study in the fields of auditory neuroscience and in
psychoacoustics, with Dr. Bregman’s Auditory
Scene Analysis as an important guide in our modeling of high-level
grouping and sound separation processes.
For the more technical audience of the auditory.org group, I
am giving links to a published 2002 paper and a video of a 2007 talk, that will
give some additional information about the approach we have taken and progress
we have made in the underlying science.

pathway

- a video presentation from 2007, giving real-time, high-resolution
demonstrations of signals computed in the cochlea, cochlear nucleus, superior
olivary complex, inferior colliculus and cortex, including spatial
representations (ITD and ILD) and polyphonic pitch detection.
With successful deployments of our first product, we are now
planning our next products and growing our Algorithm Development team.
Audience has exciting opportunities for Algorithm Developers, and we would
welcome the opportunity to discuss these opportunities with engineers and
scientists working in the field of Computational Auditory Scene Analysis and
related disciplines.
Audience offers competitive salaries, benefits, and stock
options in a pre-IPO company. We are located in
Please feel free to contact me for detailed job descriptions
and more information about the opportunities.
