From source to brain : modelling sound propagation and localisation in rooms (2013)
Thesis
Sheaffer, J. From source to brain : modelling sound propagation and localisation in rooms. (Thesis). University of Salford

Human localisation of sound in enclosed spaces is a cross-disciplinary research topic, with important applications in auditory science, room acoustics, spatial audio and telecommunications. By combining an accelerated model of $3$D sound propagation... Read More about From source to brain : modelling sound propagation and localisation in rooms.

On the subjective nature of binaural externalisation (2013)
Journal Article
Alastair, P., & Fazenda, B. (2013). On the subjective nature of binaural externalisation. Proceedings of the Institute of Acoustics, 35(2),

Externalisation (the sensation of hearing a sound object outside the head) on headphone reproduction is a recurrent topic in modern research for binaural sound reproduction. One of the inherent issues with testing for externalisation is its quantific... Read More about On the subjective nature of binaural externalisation.
