Title

Auditory Transforms and Applications.

Abstract

Auditory pathway from sound to perception is a multi-level information processing system. It is modeled as a transform with uniform and fine frequency resolution at low frequencies, yet nonuniform and coarse frequency resolution towards higher frequencies. Such transforms are built with discrete Fourier transform and ear characteristics and called auditory transforms. They are invertible either mathematically or perceptually. Inversion from perception to sounds is non-unique and involves optimization. Similar problem in blind source separation will be illustrated as well.
