4 results about "Interaural time difference" patented technology

The interaural time difference (or ITD) when concerning humans or animals, is the difference in arrival time of a sound between two ears. It is important in the localization of sounds, as it provides a cue to the direction or angle of the sound source from the head. If a signal arrives at the head from one side, the signal has further to travel to reach the far ear than the near ear. This pathlength difference results in a time difference between the sound's arrivals at the ears, which is detected and aids the process of identifying the direction of sound source.

Cochlear stimulation system with surround sound and noise cancellation

ActiveUS12533515B2Head electrodesSignal processingInteraural time differenceNoise
A cochlear and nerve stimulation system comprises a signal input to receive an audio input signal, a multiple channel microphone input to receive multiple channel ambient noise signals, and a multiple channel cochlear converter coupled to the signal input to produce multiple channel surround sound cochlear and nerve stimulation signals based on the audio input signal. The stimulation signals include one or both of interaural level differences and interaural time differences. A sound canceling processor is coupled between the microphone input and the cochlear converter to produce multiple channel sound canceling signals based on the ambient noise signals. Multiple channel cochlear and nerve stimulation electrodes are configured for attachment to a user and coupled to receive the multiple channel surround sound cochlear stimulation signals.
