    Abstract: The authors were recently invited to write a Resource Letter for the American Journal of Physics on the role of acoustics in enriching physics education. The Letter contains citations related to textbooks, physical and virtual acoustics demonstrations, software, and instances where acoustical examples can lead to a deeper understanding of, e.g., general wave phenomena. This talk provides a summary of the diverse nature of resources that exist as well as specific tools and examples.

    Abstract: Attractions of a journal are its widespread availability, its archival (forever!) nature, its priority in literature searches, and its prestige. Articles should be readable to others in the field, be significant, and original. JASA is selective and imposes standards. Perceived quality is often measured by the “impact factor,” which may have very little to do with the extent to which the journal fulfills the mission of the Society. Of great frustration to the editors is that a substantial fraction of authors who submit papers seem to be somewhat clueless as to what is a reasonable topic and what is a reasonable scope for an article in JASA. Frustrating also is that most good work reported at Society meetings never gets submitted. The present talk critically discusses the selection process, its peer-review aspects, and its flaws. The selection process deals with realities, such as that willing and competent reviewers are hard to find and that submitted reviews are often inane, with carefully selected highly expert associate editors who can make authoritative decisions without absolute reliance on external reviews. Suggestions are given on how to prepare a suitable manuscript and on how to cope with the vagaries of the peer-review process.

    Abstract: The very essence of a scientific society is the promotion of cooperation and the exchange of information among scientists. Bob’s contribution to acoustics in this field is twofold. First, he is deeply involved in the publication of acoustics literature, particularly the Russian Acoustical Journal (previously Soviet Physics—Acoustics, now Acoustical Physics). Perfect knowledge of the languages, a deep interest in the creative work, a wide range of interests, and an extensive outlook help him in this activity. Second, being openhearted and having a friendly nature, with a live interest in his colleagues, he does a lot to develop scientific links and contacts. When he visited USSR in 1958, he immediately switched on acoustical community activity, participated in the Ph.D. thesis defense of Lev Zarembo, and started a long-lived cooperation with Russian colleagues. He has educated Ph.D. and postdoctoral students from China, Norway, Russia, etc. All of them are grateful to Bob and keep a lot of good recollections. Each meeting with him leaves you with a feeling of cordial warmth and friendly concern.

    Abstract: What is the cause, and the cost, of insight? What does it mean to see the world face to face? These questions were raised by the young Rainer Maria Rilke in a passage from his Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, a journal he kept in 1904 while serving as secretary to the sculptor Rodin. They also lie at the heart of Vis-a-vis, a multimedia work for voice and computer music soundscape, which takes Rilkes words as a dramatic point of departure. Recalling an encounter with a nameless woman in the streets of Paris, Rilke’s text is a meditation on the nature of faces. It reads like a drama, a story in five virtual scenes told from multiple points of view and in several voices, alternately droll, philosophical, ironic, pathetic. In this new 5.1 mix the multivocal and multilingual aspects of Vis-a-vis are highlighted through the use of acousmatic space; the aim is to suggest the shifting psychological relationship between the woman who sings and the nameless woman who is the subject of Rilkes narration.

    Abstract: Smith and Lewicki, Neural Comp. 17, 19–45, 2005a; Adv. Neural. Inf. Process. Syst. 17, 1289–1296, 2005b; Nature, 439, 7079, 2006, demonstrated that mammalian hearing follows an efficient coding principle (Barlow, Sensory Communications, 217–234, 1961; Atick, Network, 3(2), 213–251, 1992; Simoncelli and Olshausen, Ann. Rev. Neurosci., 24, 1193–1216, 2001; Laughlin and Sejnowski, ‘‘Communications in Neuronal Networks,’’ Science, 301, 1870–1874 2003). Auditory neurons efficiently code for natural sounds in the environment, maximizing information rate while minimizing coding cost (Shannon, Science, 270, 303–304, 1948). Applying the same analysis to speech coding suggests that speech acoustics are optimally adapted to the mammalian auditory code (Smith and Lewicki, Neural Comp. 17, 19–45, 2005a; Adv. Neural. Inf. Process. Syst. 17, 1289–1296, 2005b; Nature, 439, 7079, 2006). The present work applies this efficient coding theory to the problem of speech perception in individuals using cochlear implants (CI), for which there exist vast individual differences in speech perception and spectral resolution (Zeng et al., Auditory Prostheses and Electric Hearing, 20, 1–14, 2004). A machine-learning method for CI filterbank design based on the efficient-coding hypothesis is presented. Further, a pair of experiments to evaluate this approach using noise-excited vocoder speech (Shannon et al., Bell Systems Technical Journal 27, 379–423, 623–656, 1995) is described. Participants’ recognition of continuous speech and isolated syllables is significantly more accurate for speech filtered through the theoretically-motivated efficient-coding filterbank relative to the standard cochleotopic filterbank, particularly for speech transients. These findings offer insight in CI design and provide behavioral evidence for efficient coding in human perception.

    Abstract: The earliest comprehensive, in-situ measurements of the acoustic backscattering strength of the seabed as a function of frequency, grazing angle and sediment type were made by McKinney and Anderson, and published in the society’s journal in 1964. It was a landmark paper and laid the groundwork for subsequent measurements and models. It is widely referenced in books and papers where seabed scattering and sonar performance prediction are concerned. Scattering strength and sediment classification, usually quantified in terms of the mean grain diameter, were thought to be closely connected. In the laboratory, using pristine samples of sorted sand, this connection was clearly demonstrated, but in situ it was overwhelmed by other factors, such as uneven size distributions, biological activity and roughness. The underlying nature of the seabed is also reflected in the scattering strength. For the same roughness, density and sound speed, the solid/fluid model consistently overestimates the scattering strength because it cannot account for the relative motion between grains and pore water. Thus, recent advances in poroelastic modeling can shed new light on the measurements of McKinney and Anderson. [Work supported by ONR, Ocean Acoustics Program.]

    Abstract: Munson et al. [Journal of Phonetics (2006)], found a correlation between perceived speech clarity and perceived sexual orientation (PSO) of male talkers: those who had been rated to sound gay were rated by an independent group to produce speech clearly. A smaller, opposite influence was found for women talkers. Munson et al. hypothesized that gay male speech styles might be based, in part, on clear speech styles. One weakness of Munson et al.’s study was that none of the speech examined was intentionally clear. This study follows up on this finding. A new group of 29 listeners rated the PSO of four men and four women producing conversational and intentionally clear speech, recorded as part of a larger study on interspeaker differences in talker intelligibility. PSO was rated using a five-point scale. Speech style had a moderate, statistically significant influence on PSO. In contrast with previous research, both men and women were rated as gayer-sounding when producing clear styles than when producing conversational ones. The differences in mean ratings were small. This investigation, thus, partly supports Munson et al.’s findings. The relatively small influence of speech style on PSO likely reflects the complex, content-dependent nature of gay speech styles and PSO.

    Abstract: Schroeder’s backward integration method broke the new ground in classical architectural acoustics. Soon after publication of Schroeder’s backward integration method for obtaining sound energy decay functions from room-impulse responses [Schroeder, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 37, 409–412 (1965)], research activities in this field have been frequently reported in major journal publications. For reverberation time estimation based on a traditional straight-line model, solutions to remedy problems related to the upper limit of backward integration and the background noise in experimentally measured Schroeder decay functions have emerged. Using a parametric model derived from the nature of Schroeder integration, this author proposed a nonlinear regression method [Xiang, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 98, 2112–2121 (1995)] . The nonlinear regression method yields reverberation time estimates, insensitive to background noise, and the upper limit of integration. Recent interest in acoustically coupled-volume systems has prompted new challenges in analyzing sound energy decay characteristics, which are more complicated than just single-rate decays. This paper will demonstrate a suitable framework for this room-acoustics application using Bayesian inference and the Schroeder backward integration as the foundation of the advanced model-based energy decay analysis. Based on the Schroeder integration, two levels of inference, decay order selection, and decay parameter estimation have been developed for practical applications.
