}This description of the processing of sound by the human hearing system presents the quantitative relationship between sound stimuli and auditory perceptions in terms of hearing sensations, and implements these relationships in model form. Modern views are outlined of peripheral activity in the inner ear, which plays an important role in the development of many hearing sensations. The dependence of these sensations on acoustic parameters is described in psychoacoustical terms.

A good understanding of the sensory response of the human auditory system is essential to the development of psychoacoustic models for audio watermarking, where the perceptual quality of processed audio must be preserved to the greatest extent.

The transformation of acoustical signals into auditory sensations can be characterized by psychophysical quantities such as loudness, tonality, or perceived pitch. The resolution limits of the…

Systematic and progressive experiments using psychoacoustic methods will help to move "out of the ideal and in to the real" to gain a more complete view of potential auditory-masking effects in marine mammals.
Psychoacoustic Models for Audio Coding
- Physics
- 2003
The hearing threshold is very important to coder design because it represents frequency-dependent levels below which quantization noise levels will be inaudible, and the implication in the coded representation of the signal is that certain frequency components can be quantized with a relatively small number of bits without introducing audible distortion.
A physiological ear model for specific loudness and masking
- PhysicsProceedings of 1997 Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics
- 1997
The presented human ear model overcomes restrictions because of the physiological modelling approach of sound processing in the ear, which is valid, independent from the signal characteristics, and indicates that psychoacoustic observations in terms of loudness and masking are closely met.
Auditory modelling for speech processing in the perceptual domain
- Physics
- 2004
This work presents a new computational model for the auditory system by exploring the psychoacoustical masking properties of the human hearing system, and the model is then applied to speech coding in the perceptual domain.
