Auditory Processing Models

  • Chapter
Handbook of Signal Processing in Acoustics

There are at least two main reasons why auditory processing models are constructed: to represent the results from a variety of experiments within one framework and to explain the functioning of the system. Specifically, processing models help generate hypotheses that can be explicitly stated and quantitatively tested for complex systems. The models can also help determine how a deficit in one or more components affects the overall operation of the system. The development of auditory models has been hampered by the complexity of the individual auditory processing stages and their interactions. This resulted in a multiplicity of auditory models described in the literature.
