  2. What you should remember • Function of the middle ear • Traveling wave theory • Audibility function • Loudness perception • Masking

  3. What you should learn today • Programming of stimuli in MATLAB • Data analysis • Details about the experiments

  4. Programming the Experiments

  5. Playsound • “High-level” function that plays a sinusoidal sound : • Playsound(f, A, t) plays sinusoidal tone with frequency with frequency f and amplitude A for t seconds • Playsound(f, A, t, An, fn, Bn) plays sinusoidal tone with band pass background noise with mid frequency fn and band width +/-Bn

  6. f1 f2 f3 A11 A12 A21 A22 A31 A32 Randomization • Example: Randomize conditions for 3 different frequencies (f1, f2, f3) and 2 different amplitudes Aij per frequency • Systematic proceeding: • Design matrix: 2 x 3

  7. Randomization • Build equally shaped matrices for A and f f1 f2 f3 Mf = f1 f2 f3 A12 A12 A21 A22 A31 A32 MA =

  8. Randomization • Cast matrices into vectors:Mf = Mf(:);MA = MA(:); • Build a random integer vector with # of conditions:cond_index = randperm(length(Mf));

  9. Randomization • Address MA and Mf through this index: MA(cond_index(n)) (Amplitude of trial n) Mf(cond_index(n)) (Frequency of trial n) • Loop over all trials:for n=1:length(cond_index), ….. some function dependent on MA(cond_index(n)) and Mf(cond_index(n)) …..end;

  10. Reading In Key Presses Example: Check whether the key “a” or “l” has been pressed. If yes, print the letter, otherwise ignore the key press.

  11. Reading In Key Presses Simple example function function key_demo(); % initialization ret_strg = ‘‘; % wait for a valid key press while strcmp(ret_strg, {'a', 'l'}) == 0, disp('Enter String.‘); ret_strg = getchar; end; % actions for admissible letters a and l if strcmp(ret_strg, 'a') == 1, disp('A'); elseif strcmp(ret_strg, 'l') == 1, disp('L'); end;

  12. Data Analysis

  13. Data Analysis • Thresholds from probability data: • 50% threshold • Cool (optional): fit logistic threshold function • Thresholds directly from adjustment methods / stair case • Statistics for comparing thresholds: • t-test (pairwise comparisons) if enough items; watch for (de)pendent measures ! • non-parametric test for few items • ANOVA (next lecture) • Extremely cool (idea for final project):run 2AFC experiment and estimate d’

  14. Data Analysis • Correction of the a level • Problem: test difference between 2 AFs • Given: N threshold values for K values of the frequency  {Akn} and {Akn} • Possibilities: • t-test (pairwise comparisons)  K independent tests • Better: ANOVA (next lecture !) • How can we combine the results from K independent tests?

  15. Data Analysis • P(single test significant even though H0 true) < a P(single test non-significant if H0 true) >= 1- a • Tests independent P(all K tests non-significant if H0 true) >= (1- a)K P(at least one out of the K tests significant if H0 true) < 1 - (1- a)K= aeq

  16. Data Analysis Equivalent significance level for K independent tests: aeq = 1 - (1- a)K  a = 1 - (1- aeq)1/K For large K: aaeq/K(“Bonferoni correction”) Example: K = 4 aeq = 5 % a = 1.27 %

  17. Experiments

  18. Method of Constant Stimuli • Frequencies: 30, 500, 2k, 10k, 18k Hz • Pilot: for each frequency regime find out approximately the threshold and set up 5 amplitudes around this value • 20 repetitions

  19. Method of Limits • Frequencies: 30, 500, 2k, 10k, 18k Hz • Pilot: for each frequency regime find out approximately the threshold • Ascending block: Start always with a stimulus that Ss don’t hear; increase by factor 1.2 until they hear; store result and start next trialDescending block: start with stimulus that Ss hear a decrease by factor 1.2 until they don’t hear stimulus any more • 10 repetitions

  20. Staircase Method • Frequencies: 30, 100, 200, 500, 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k, 15k, 18k Hz • Pilot: for each frequency regime find out approximately the threshold • Steps; multiply / divide by 1.2 • Cross threshold 8 times before next trial starts • 5 repetitions

  21. Equal Loudness Contours • Frequency of reference stimuli: 1000 Hz • Test frequencies: 50, 100, 200, 500, 1k, 3k, 5k, 10k Hz • 3 different amplitudes of the reference: low / medium / high • Adjust amplitude of the test stimulus as to match loudness of reference • 5 repetitions

  22. Difference Thresholds • Frequency of reference stimulus: 200 Hz • Test 5 different amplitudes of the reference in the regime between very low and (conveniently) high amplitudes • Measure for each amplitude difference thresholds using a method of constant stimuli • 15 repetitions for the method of constant stimuli

  23. Masking I • Mask: narrowband noise with frequency 400 +/- 45 Hz • Test frequencies: 100, 250, 400, 1k, 2k Hz • Method of constant stimuli • Trials with and without mask • No time delay ! • 15 repetitions per condition

  24. Masking II • Mid frequency of mask and test tone 400 Hz; bandwidth +/- 45 Hz • 5 different time delays: 0, 50, 100, 200 ad 500 ms • Method of constant stimuli • Trials with and without mask • 15 repetitions per trial
