- Additional information
- Small-mammal studies show neural feedback (modulates peripheral sound processing) is associated with different time-constants. Its function in humans is to improve speech perception; the role of different time-constants remains unknown. Most auditory models/speech-recognition systems do not incorporate this neural feedback, or if they do, use non-human data or one time constant. This study incorporated human-derived time-constants into an auditory model and showed speech-recognition improvement with increasing time-constant duration. The journal is ranked 5th (Google scholar top-publications listings: Acoustics and Sound) and the data was used to acquire an EPSRC innovation award (UCL Acceleration-Award: EP/R511638/1) for improved speech-recognition and assistive-hearing devices.
