A systematic review of reverberation and accessibility for B/blind users in virtual environments (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Reverberation is often used in linear and non-linear media to convey the acoustic characteristics of a space. This information is presented alongside visual stimuli to create a multi-modal experience, assisting participants in developing visual and a...

Towards an audio attribute framework for understanding the perception of reverberant spaces through elicitation and clustering methods based on participant expectation (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

When used in perceptual audio evaluation, elicitation methods produce a wide variety of raw and unorganized text data. Although at first ambiguous, elicited data can be organized into themes and attributes that are intrinsic to the listener experienc...

Contextual Effects on Sound Quality Judgements: Part II – Multi-Stimulus vs. Single Stimulus Method (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Contextual effects on sound quality judgements: Listening room and automotive environments (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Communicating listeners’ auditory spatial experiences: A method for developing a descriptive language (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A method is presented which details how a descriptive language can be developed for effectively communicating listeners’ individual auditory spatial experiences during subjective evaluations. The language-development method focuses on identifying and... Read More about Communicating listeners’ auditory spatial experiences: A method for developing a descriptive language.

Creating a universal graphical assessment language for describing and evaluating spatial attributes of reproduced audio events (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Evaluating spatial attributes of reproduced audio events using a graphical assessment language - understanding differences in listener depictions (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aim in developing a Graphical Assessment Language (GAL) is to enable the description and evaluation of spatial attributes. Although elicited graphical descriptors have proved a reliable measure of differences in perceived image width and location...

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Subjective evaluation of perceived spatial differences in car audio systems using a graphical assessment language (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Verbal and nonverbal elicitation techniques in the subjective assessment of spatial sound reproduction (2001)
Journal Article

Current research into spatial audio has shown an increasing interest in the way subjective attributes of reproduced sound are elicited from listeners. The emphasis at present is on verbal semantics, however, studies suggest that nonverbal methods of...
