  2. Motivation • Design of auditory preprocessors motivated from the characteristics of biological auditory systems.- robustness to noise- capturing the minute differences between signals (2 Hz difference)- wide dynamic range (140 dB)- selective attention- source localization using two ears

  5. Binaural Processing Models • EE (Excitation-Excitation) cells in medial superior olive (MSO)- interaural cross-correlation models • EI (Excitation-Inhibition) cells in lateral superior olive (LSO) - equalization-cancellation (EC) theory

  6. Interaural Cross-correlation Model (EE-type cells) • Running interaural cross-correlation (Jeffress, 1948) • Delay weighting (Colburn, 1977) • Frequency weighting (Stern and Shear, 1996)

  7. Lindemann’s Model (EI-type cells) • Contralateral inhibition mechanism • Stationary-inhibition component • Dynamic-inhibition component

  8. Breebaart Model (EI-type cells) • EI-type cell • Combined EI-type cell • Temporal windowing • Nonlinear saturation

  11. Network output for time shifted 600Hz tonea) zero shift b) shift c) shift d) shift

  12. Binaural Processing with TSFB

  13. Simulation for Binaural Processing - Signal : TI46 (‘zero’ ~ ‘nine’) male speech samples - Noise : Noisex samples

  14. Simulation for Binaural Processing

  15. Simulation for Monaural Processing without HRTF

  16. Conclusion • A model of binaural processing with TSFB has been suggested. • Simulation results showed that the binaural processing could be advantageous in noisy environment. • The HRTF could degrade the performance of speech recognition. • A new feature combining binaural data will be investigated in the sense of noise robustness.
