Dynamism in Views-Out: Capturing Movement, Daylight Variation, and Their Impact on Occupant Perception

Window views play a vital role in shaping occupant perception, comfort, and well-being, yet their temporal and dynamic qualities remain underexplored in view-out research. Existing studies primarily rely on static representations, overlooking the continuou ...

An insular cortex - lateral amygdala network in fear learning

Shriya Palchaudhuri

Animals are capable of evaluating sensory cues for possible threats and adapting their behaviours accordingly. Fear learning is an evolutionarily conserved behaviour crucial for animal survival, during which sensory percepts with a negative reinforcing qua ...

Sound Field Reconstruction in a room through Sparse Recovery and its application in Room Modal Equalization

Vu Thach Pham

The acoustics of a room often refer to the quality of the room in terms of sound recording as well as sound reproduction. At low frequencies, where the wavelengths are of the same order of magnitude with the dimensions of the room, due to the standing wave ...

Electrical Signal Modeling in Cochlear Implants. Study of Temperature and Humidity Effects

Maria-Alexandra Paun

The present paper discusses the climatic effects of humidity and temperature on cochlear implant functioning and the quality of the electrical sound signal. MATLAB Simulink simulations were prepared, offering insights into signal behavior under such climat ...

Low frequency sound field reconstruction in a non-rectangular room using a small number of microphones

Hervé Lissek, Vu Thach Pham

An accurate knowledge of the sound field distribution inside a room is required to identify and optimally locate corrective measures for room acoustics. However, the spatial recovery of the sound field would result in an impractically high number of microp ...

Good Vibrations and Unknown Excitations

Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

Inspired by the human ability to localize sounds, even with only one ear, as well as to recognize objects using active echolocation, we investigate the role of sound scattering and prior knowledge in regularizing ill-posed inverse problems in acoustics. In ...

Context-based Quality of Experience in Immersive Multimedia

Anne-Flore Nicole Marie Perrin

Since 1895, when the Lumière brothers came out with the projected cinematograph, motion pictures and more generally multimedia contents have considerably improved and are still experiencing a very dynamic development. Advances involved improving various mo ...

Subjective Evaluation of 360-degree Sensory Experiences

Pascal Frossard, Roberto Gerson De Albuquerque Azevedo

Traditionally, most multimedia content has been developed to stimulate two of the human senses, i.e., sight and hearing. Due to recent technological advancements, however, innovative services have been developed that provide more realistic, immersive, and ...

Between the Lines: On the Explicit and Implicit in Writing and Building

Matthew Skjonsberg

Narratives employed when writing about a place and building a place have a central theme in common: both weave between the human, personal and emotional experience of place and the physical, spatial and atmospheric place – a dialogue between the inner and ...

Low Frequency Sound Field Reconstruction in Non-rectangular Room: A Numerical Validation

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Vu Thach Pham

Characterization of sound fields in rooms has always been a challenging task. A faithful reconstruction of sound fields in rooms generally would require an impractically high number of microphones. At low frequencies, where sound field can be modeled as a ...

Indoor environment as a multi-sensory experience: visual and thermal factor interactions

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

In our daily lives we are exposed simultaneously to multiple sensory stimuli, such as visual, thermal, acoustic and olfactory. Experienced together, they shape our perception of the environment and determine our comfort. In indoor environments, stimuli are ...

Unconscious integration of multisensory bodily inputs in the peripersonal space shapes bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon

Recent studies have highlighted the role of multisensory integration as a key mechanism of self-consciousness. In particular, integration of bodily signals within the peripersonal space (PPS) underlies the experience of the self in a body we own (self-iden ...

Binary Sparse Coding of Convolutive Mixtures for Sound Localization and Separation via Spatialization

Volkan Cevher, Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Saeid Haghighatshoar, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

We propose a sparse coding approach to address the problem of source-sensor localization and speech reconstruction. This approach relies on designing a dictionary of spatialized signals by projecting the microphone array recordings into the array manifolds ...

Wearable multimodal tactile interfaces for augmenting haptic perception

Simon Gallo

Haptic feedback has been used to faithfully restitute the haptic sense lacking during telemanipulation, but also for providing auxiliary information via the haptic channel to restore functional perception of missing or damaged senses, e.g. sensory substitu ...

Multimodal stimulus coding by a gustatory sensory neuron in Drosophila larvae

Philippe Renaud

Accurate perception of taste information is crucial for animal survival. In adult Drosophila, gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs) perceive chemical stimuli of one specific gustatory modality associated with a stereotyped behavioural response, such as aversio ...

A sound diffusion system for directional sound enhancement

Baptiste Crettaz, Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli, Alain Dufaux

A loudspeaker array is described including several circular sound emitters that are bunked. One circular sound emitter can be either a circular array of loudspeakers (kind 1) or a toroidal loudspeaker (kind 2). The loudspeaker array can be composed of circ ...

Spatial Sound Localization via Multipath Euclidean Distance Matrix Recovery

Philip Neil Garner, Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Saeid Haghighatshoar

A novel localization approach is proposed in order to find the position of an individual source using recordings of a single microphone in a reverberant enclosure. The multipath propagation is modeled by multiple virtual microphones as images of the actual ...
