Subject: [AUDITORY] converting masking thresholds to masker levels of speech sounds From: "Feng, Mengli (2018)" <Mengli.Feng.2018@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2020 19:39:11 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_AM0PR0102MB352490918EA4AF38C55FA31DD80B0AM0PR0102MB3524_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear All, I am trying to convert masking curves into the frequency responses of the o= riginal maskers (single speech sounds). The maskees I am using are narrow b= and noises at different frequencies. It has taken me enormous effort to find an auditory model to make accurate = predictions, considering the maskers are complex tones with multiple harmon= ics in high frequency region. Might anyone provide some guidance or advice = on finding a suitable model? Is it even possible to do such prediction knowing only the frequency respon= ses of the maskees and the masking thresholds given that temporal effects w= ould inevitably appear because of the higher harmonics in human speech soun= ds? Any opinions? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
