Treatise on Hearing: The Temporal Auditory Imaging Theory Inspired by Optics and Communication
A new theory of mammalian hearing is presented, which accounts for the
auditory image in the midbrain (inferior colliculus) of objects in the
acoustical environment of the listener. It is shown that the ear is a temporal
imaging system that comprises three transformations of the envelope functions:
cochlear group-delay dispersion, cochlear time lensing, and neural group-delay
dispersion. These elements are analogous to the optical transformations in
vision of diffraction between the object and the eye, spatial lensing by the
lens, and second diffraction between the lens and the retina. Unlike the eye,
it is established that the human auditory system is naturally defocused, so
that coherent stimuli do not react to the defocus, whereas completely
incoherent stimuli are impacted by it and may be blurred by design. It is
argued that the auditory system can use this differential focusing to enhance
or degrade the images of real-world acoustical objects that are partially
coherent. The theory is founded on coherence and temporal imaging theories that
were adopted from optics. In addition to the imaging transformations, the
corresponding inverse-domain modulation transfer functions are derived and
interpreted with consideration to the nonuniform neural sampling operation of
the auditory nerve. These ideas are used to rigorously initiate the concepts of
sharpness and blur in auditory imaging, auditory aberrations, and auditory
depth of field. In parallel, ideas from communication theory are used to show
that the organ of Corti functions as a multichannel phase-locked loop (PLL)
that constitutes the point of entry for auditory phase locking and hence
conserves the signal coherence. It provides an anchor for a dual coherent and
noncoherent auditory detection in the auditory brain that culminates in
auditory accommodation. Implications on hearing impairments are discussed as
well.Comment: 603 pages, 131 figures, 13 tables, 1570 reference
Abstracts on Radio Direction Finding (1899 - 1995)
The files on this record represent the various databases that originally composed the CD-ROM issue of "Abstracts on Radio Direction Finding" database, which is now part of the Dudley Knox Library's Abstracts and Selected Full Text Documents on Radio Direction Finding (1899 - 1995) Collection. (See Calhoun record https://calhoun.nps.edu/handle/10945/57364 for further information on this collection and the bibliography).
Due to issues of technological obsolescence preventing current and future audiences from accessing the bibliography, DKL exported and converted into the three files on this record the various databases contained in the CD-ROM.
The contents of these files are:
1) RDFA_CompleteBibliography_xls.zip [RDFA_CompleteBibliography.xls: Metadata for the complete bibliography, in Excel 97-2003 Workbook format; RDFA_Glossary.xls: Glossary of terms, in Excel 97-2003 Workbookformat; RDFA_Biographies.xls: Biographies of leading figures, in Excel 97-2003 Workbook format];
2) RDFA_CompleteBibliography_csv.zip [RDFA_CompleteBibliography.TXT: Metadata for the complete bibliography, in CSV format; RDFA_Glossary.TXT: Glossary of terms, in CSV format; RDFA_Biographies.TXT: Biographies of leading figures, in CSV format];
3) RDFA_CompleteBibliography.pdf: A human readable display of the bibliographic data, as a means of double-checking any possible deviations due to conversion
