Subject: Re: Acoustic stealth awareness - hunting for papers From: PIerre DIVENYI <pdivenyi@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2016 08:30:09 -0700 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail-843ACB89-5C2E-4C10-9B79-BAEB41EAC090 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Interesting topic and I don't know of any previous work on it. The Lombard e= ffect comes close, but it deals only with the level of speech. You could fin= d examples in animal studies, e.g., the owl that has perfected stealth to th= e point humans can only dream of.
