A systematic review of reverberation and accessibility for B/blind users in virtual environments (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Child, L., Mitchell, T., & Ford, N. (2023). A systematic review of reverberation and accessibility for B/blind users in virtual environments.

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)
Conference Proceeding
Child, L., & Ford, N. (2021). Towards an audio attribute framework for understanding the perception of reverberant spaces through elicitation and clustering methods based on participant expectation. In Audio Engineering Society Convention 150

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...

Communicating listeners’ auditory spatial experiences: A method for developing a descriptive language (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Ford, N., Nind, T., & Rumsey, F. (2005). Communicating listeners’ auditory spatial experiences: A method for developing a descriptive language. In Audio Engineering Society Convention 118 (6481)

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.

Evaluating spatial attributes of reproduced audio events using a graphical assessment language - understanding differences in listener depictions (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Ford, N., Rumsey, F., & Nind, T. (2003). Evaluating spatial attributes of reproduced audio events using a graphical assessment language - understanding differences in listener depictions. In Audio Engineering Society Conference: 24th International Conference: Multichannel Audio, The New Reality

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...
