Auditory target detection in reverberant environments was studied using simulations. Binaural listening performance was accurately predicted by equalization-cancellation theory, suggesting its use in speech intelligibility models.

Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Psychoacoustics
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Reverberation significantly impacts auditory perception and target detection.
  • Understanding auditory performance in complex acoustic environments is crucial for developing effective communication systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure and theoretically predict auditory target detection in simulated reverberant conditions.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of established auditory models in reverberant environments.

Main Methods:

  • Simulated reverberant room using software, with a rigid sphere modeling a listener's head.
  • Pulsed 1/3-octave noise bands as targets and continuous wideband noise as maskers.
  • Monaural and binaural listening modes with varying masker locations and room reverberation levels.

Main Results:

  • Monaural detection performance changes were mostly predictable by target-to-masker ratio, with slight additional masking due to reverberation.
  • Binaural detection performance was well predicted by Durlach's equalization-cancellation theory.
  • Model predictions, based on room acoustics and spherical diffraction, aligned with experimental findings.

Conclusions:

  • Auditory detection models can accurately predict performance in reverberant conditions.
  • Equalization-cancellation theory effectively explains binaural detection in reverberation.
  • These findings support the integration of listening mode and source location into speech intelligibility predictions.
