Subject: Re: Transfer function of middle ear From: alexander lerch <lerch(at)ZPLANE.DE> Date: Wed, 22 May 2002 18:18:33 +0200Hello Vivek, I'm not familiar with PAQM, but it might be that PAQM uses the same transfer function of outer and middle ear as PEAQ (ITU-R BS.1387) does, because PAQM was one of the systems "integrated" in the PEAQ recommendation. PEAQ's function is derived from Terhardt: Calculating virtual pitch, Hearing Research Vol.1, 1979 You can find information about PEAQ's transfer function and PEAQ itself at: http://www.itu.int/rec/recommendation.asp?type=folders&lang=e&parent=R-REC-BS.1387 Best regards, Alexander > Vivek Srivastava wrote: > > Hello List, > I am a Masters student at Virginia Tech and am trying to > implement PAQM(a method to determine the audio quality of a > signal).
