Based on a review of anecdotal beliefs, we explored patterns of track-sequencing within professional music albums. We found that songs with high levels of valence, energy and loudness are more likely to be positioned at the beginning of…

Although perceptual (dis)similarity between sensory stimuli seems akin to distance, measuring the Euclidean distance between vector representations of auditory stimuli is a poor estimator of subjective dissimilarity. In hearing, nonlinear…

Sound reflections and late reverberation alter energetic and binaural cues of a target source, thereby affecting it's detection in noise. Two experiments investigated detection of harmonic complex tones, centered around 500 Hz, in noise in…

The analysis of the structure of musical pieces is a task that remains a challenge for Artificial Intelligence, especially in the field of Deep Learning. It requires prior identification of structural boundaries of the music pieces. This…

This study examines pitch contours as a unifying semantic construct prevalent across various audio domains including music, speech, bioacoustics, and everyday sounds. Analyzing pitch contours offers insights into the universal role of pitch…

Spectrum sensing receives much attention recently in the cognitive radio (CR) network research, i.e., secondary users (SUs) constantly monitor channel condition to detect the presence of the primary users (PUs). In this paper, we go beyond…

We introduce the problem of learning affective correspondence between audio (music) and visual data (images). For this task, a music clip and an image are considered similar (having true correspondence) if they have similar emotion content.…

We consider the "multi-frequency" periodogram, in which the putative signal is modelled as a sum of two or more sinusoidal harmonics with idependent frequencies. It is useful in the cases when the data may contain several periodic…

The neural mechanisms underlying the comprehension of meaningful sounds are yet to be fully understood. While previous research has shown that the auditory cortex can classify auditory stimuli into distinct semantic categories, the specific…

We consider the problem of audio voice separation for binaural applications, such as earphones and hearing aids. While today's neural networks perform remarkably well (separating $4+$ sources with 2 microphones) they assume a known or fixed…

We compare two multi-detector detection strategies, namely, the coincidence and the coherent, for the detection of spinless inspiraling compact binary gravitational wave signals. The coincident strategy treats the detectors as if they are…

Human perception of surrounding events is strongly dependent on audio cues. Thus, acoustic insulation can seriously impact situational awareness. We present an exploratory study in the domain of assistive computing, eliciting requirements…

Spectrum sensing technology is a crucial aspect of modern communication technology, serving as one of the essential techniques for efficiently utilizing scarce information resources in tight frequency bands. This paper first introduces…

Understanding cognitive processes in the brain demands sophisticated models capable of replicating neural dynamics at large scales. We present a physiologically inspired speech recognition architecture, compatible and scalable with deep…

When one is presented with an item or a face, one can sometimes have a sense of recognition without being able to recall where or when one has encountered it before. This sense of recognition is known as familiarity. Following previous…

In the human ear, the basilar membrane plays a central role in sound recognition. When excited by sound, this membrane responds with a frequency-dependent displacement pattern that is detected and identified by the auditory hair cells…

Spike synchrony, which occurs in various cortical areas in response to specific perception, action and memory tasks, has sparked a long-standing debate on the nature of temporal organization in cortex. One prominent view is that this type…

Song appreciation involves a broad range of mental processes, and different neural networks may be activated by different song types. The aim of the present study was to show differential functional connectivity of the prefrontal cortices…

The relationship between sensory consonance and Western harmony is an important topic in music theory and psychology. We introduce new methods for analysing this relationship, and apply them to large corpora representing three prominent…

Recent deep learning approaches have achieved impressive performance on visual sound separation tasks. However, these approaches are mostly built on appearance and optical flow like motion feature representations, which exhibit limited…
