Description
Summary:Some experiments are described, in which the structure of the information received by the human ear is made to be comparable to the structure of the information received by the eye. The appropriate processing of the acoustic signals is performed in the time-frequency plane. This operation can also be seen as an artificial, extreme masking, where there is only one masker in each region of the time-frequency plane and all other sounds are entirely masked. The experiments were performed on audio signals. It was found that the ear perceives little difference between the original sounds and the processed sounds.
