Subject: Re: Acoustic stealth awareness - hunting for papers From: Santani Teng <santani@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 00:25:57 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--001a1134f514dd5a620534bcb454 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, It looks like Lane et al. (1961) defined the "autophonic response" as "the speaker's numerical estimation of his own vocal level," and reported that it differs from loudness judgments of another person's voice. This seems a reasonable starting point and has plenty of more recent citations to dive into. https://repository.library.northeastern.edu/downloads/neu:332292?datastream= _id=3Dcontent Hope that helps, Santani On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 9:39 AM, Jim <jballas@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Matt, > > The U.S. government sponsored research in the late 80's and early 90's > under the "National Parks Overflight Act of 1987" (see attached doc).
