New JASA publication from Rapolas Daugintis on perceptual evaluation of auditory model–based HRTF selection 🎧📄
pubs.aip.org/asa/jasa/articl…
The work investigates how auditory models relate to perceived localisation and spatial audio quality 🔊🧠
Our team is proud to contribute to the SONICOM ecosystem through dataset acquisition, measurements, and perceptual studies, directly supporting open research in spatial audio and spatial hearing 🧠🔊
The collaborative ecosystem is now live 🚀
The SONICOM Ecosystem is live! A new open platform bringing together audio datasets, tools & visualisations to support research on how we hear in AR/VR and digital spaces 🔊
A growing, community‑driven resource for anyone exploring sound

Nils Marggraf-Turley and Lorenzo Picinali at the Royal Society meeting on Vision Augmented Hearing in Manchester 👁️👂
Very interesting meeting on how auditory and visual perception interact, with valuable discussions alongside researchers from academia and industry.
Exciting news from the AXD team! 🎉

We’ve just published two new papers in Hearing Research exploring how people perceive sound in complex environments:
🔊 Task difficulty, HRTFs & spatial release from masking — shedding light on how spatial cues help us understand speech in noisy scenes

#PhD #SpatialAudio
🎉 Huge congratulations to our team members Rapolas and Neel for successfully passing their PhD vivas over the past couple of weeks! 👇
Dr Neel Le Penru defended his thesis titled 'On the Spatial and Resilience-Related Features of Natural Soundscapes'. We thank Dan Stowell and Thrish Nanayakkara for acting as thesis examiners.
It’s been a productive few months for our team! We’re excited to share two more recently published works: 🧵👇
The first paper investigates the perceptual impact of simplifying geometrical acoustics models for binaural reverberation.

The second paper explores the augmentation of interaural cues in individual HRTFs to improve speech intelligibility.

Last year, we co-organised the first Listener Acoustic Personalisation (LAP) Challenge, sponsored by @IEEEsps and @SONICOMproject.
Now, we’re excited to share two new publications that present the challenge outcomes! 🧵👇
Task 1: Harmonising Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) datasets:

Task 2: Upsampling HRTFs from a sparse set of measurements:
