The physical origin and physiological coding of pinna-based spectral cues
thesis
posted on 2018-03-22, 11:55 authored by Enrique A. Lopez PovedaThis thesis investigates both the physical origin and the physiological coding of pinna-based
spectral features observed in experimental Head-Related Transfer Functions
(HRTFs). An experimental method for measuring HRTFs using a Knowles
Electronics Manikin for Acoustic Research (KEMAR) is presented. The method
includes a technique for moulding individualised pinnae to be fitted on to the
KEMAR's head. Experimental HRTF data obtained with this method are shown and
analysed. The most remarkable pinna-based spectral features are identified and their
dependency on source location is characterised, particularly for elevation-dependent
spectral notches. [Continues.]
