This study introduces neural models for auditory localization using head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). A back-propagation neural network demonstrated superior performance in matching HRTF ratios, crucial for spatial hearing.

Area of Science:

  • Auditory Neuroscience
  • Computational Auditory Scene Analysis
  • Artificial Neural Networks

Background:

  • Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are crucial for spatial hearing, particularly for high-frequency sound localization.
  • The role of HRTFs in auditory localization models has been historically underestimated.
  • Neural models offer a promising approach to understanding and replicating binaural processing for directional cues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze and compare neural models for auditory localization based on head-related transfer functions (HRTFs).
  • To investigate the effectiveness of different methods for matching HRTF ratios, which provide auditory directional cues.
  • To evaluate the performance of a neural network employing a back-propagation algorithm for HRTF ratio matching.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of correlation-based, discriminative matching measure (DMM) optimization, and back-propagation neural network approaches for HRTF ratio matching.
  • Simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of the developed models using narrow-band and broad-band excitation.

Main Results:

  • The back-propagation based neural network achieved the best results in terms of discriminative matching measure (DMM).
  • This superiority was observed for both narrow-band and broad-band sound excitations.
  • The back-propagation neural network also demonstrated enhanced robustness in matching noisy HRTF ratio vectors.

Conclusions:

  • Neural networks, particularly those utilizing back-propagation, are highly effective for auditory localization tasks involving HRTF ratio matching.
  • The proposed neural models provide a viable computational framework for understanding spatial hearing mechanisms.
  • The back-propagation approach offers significant advantages in accuracy and noise resilience for HRTF-based auditory localization.
