We met to discuss what the next steps are after Friday's demo.

Suggestions for improving the task

  • Randomize the range (therefore they don’t know the “ninety”)?
  • New task: the nearest number to X.
  • More loudspeakers/talkers

Goal

Show effects of saliency & attention Switching effects we could apply

  • do we believe the number recognized?
  • if so, is it worth listening to?

Subcomponents…

Visual task

Simplest: LEDs that flash with the envelope, which should be unique. The visual task could

  • help to distinguish similar sounds (like p and b)?
  • direct you (saliently) to the
  • be correlated to the size of the number

Francisco Barranco has a camera he can use.

ITDs

Start with the clean signal. See if we can develop this for freefield afterwards

Input

Single-camera input Microphones or clean internal signal

Speech recognition

Malcolm Slaney/Kailash Patil have a novel approach using salient features.

Volunteers for various tasks

ITDs for spikes: Shih-Chii Liu

ITDs for waves: Merve Kaya

Auditory recognition task: Merve Kaya has started programming / Malcolm Slaney/Kailash Patil have an experimental equivalent.

Getting realtime spikes to Matlab: Malcolm Slaney & Shih-Chii Liu

Visual task: Francisco Barranco

Saliency & Attention modules?: Trevor Agus

Visual spikes and jAER?: Samuel Shapero & 'Siddarth'

Eye-tracking: Francisco Barranco (needs volunteers)
