Institute for Hearing, Speech, and Language, Department of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Ear Hear 27:424-9. 2006..These measurements have been based on the assumption that RTs near threshold are not affected by stimulus frequency in the 1- to 4-kHz range. The present study tests this hypothesis... - Loudness of brief tones measured by magnitude estimation and loudness matchingMichael Epstein
Institute for Hearing, Speech, and Language and Communications and Digital Signal Processing Center, ECE Department 440 DA, Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 119:1943-5. 2006..Results indicate that both procedures provide rapid and accurate assessments of group loudness functions for brief tones, but may not be reliable enough to reveal specific characteristics of loudness in individual listeners... - A test of the equal-loudness-ratio hypothesis using cross-modality matching functionsMichael Epstein
Institute for Hearing, Speech, and Language and Communications and Digital Signal Processing Center, ECE Department 440 DA, Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 118:907-13. 2005..The average data show good agreement between the two methods, but discrepancies are apparent for some individuals.

J Acoust Soc Am 117:263-74. 2005..Accordingly, emissions could serve as an excellent tool--one that is objective, noninvasive, and rapid--for estimating relative basilar-membrane motion... - Temporal and spectral cues for musical timbre perception in electric hearingYing Yee Kong
Northeastern University, Boston, MA, USA
J Speech Lang Hear Res 54:981-94. 2011..Acoustical analyses that characterized the temporal and spectral characteristics of each stimulus were performed to examine the psychophysical nature of each perceptual dimension... - Estimating loudness growth from tone-burst evoked responsesIkaro Silva

Percept Psychophys 70:725-31. 2008..In the second experiment, the amount of ILR was measured with the same inducer and with test tones set at 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 kHz. Both experiments show that some ILR occurs at frequency separations as wide as four critical bands... - A test of the binaural equal-loudness-ratio hypothesis for tonesJeremy Marozeau
Communication Research Laboratory, Department of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology 106A FR, Institute for Hearing, Speech and Language, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
