Subject: Loudness perception From: "Hornsby, Benjamin Wade Young" <ben.hornsby@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 09:01:44 -0500This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C6D73D.2538C3BE Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All, I know there are decades of loudness research out there and am hoping for a point in the right direction. I am interested in our ability to perceive a binaural "imbalance". I am looking for papers that discuss the JND in level between ears, for a broadband sound (speech in noise) that leads to a perception of unbalanced loudness when the binaural signal is presented (not monaural loudness balance). I have looked at papers discussing the JND for lateralization of sounds, which is relevant, but I am not sure this gets at the same perceptual effect. It is not clear to me that discriminating a difference in perceptual space within the head (lateralization task) would correspond to a perceived "imbalance" of loudness. All suggestions are greatly appreciated. =20 Many Thanks, =20 Ben Hornsby =20 ------_=_NextPart_001_01C6D73D.2538C3BE Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.2963" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><SPAN class=3D613594813-13092006>Hi All,</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D613594813-13092006>I know there are decades of = loudness=20 research out there and am hoping for a point in the right direction.
