Auditory Scene Analysis
• The auditory system needs to make sense of the superposition of component sounds – the auditory scene.
• It needs to segregate the components of the sound that come from different sound sources.
• It needs to group the components of the sound that come from the same sound source.

Auditory Scene Analysis
• The auditory system needs to make sense of the superposition of component sounds – the auditory scene.
• It needs to segregate the components of the sound that come from different sound sources.
• It needs to group the components of the sound that come from the same sound source.
The percept of a group of sequential
and/or simultaneous sounds as a
coherent whole appearing to come
from a single sound source is known
as a stream or auditory stream.

• How do we know what parts of the visual scene correspond a single object?

Features that make up visual objects
• Color
• Shape
• Location
• Texture
• ….
The system extracts these features then decides which ones group together.

• Main principles proposed by Gestalt psychologists (gestalt = form or pattern) in the early 20th century.
• A set of Gestalt grouping rules that describe which elements in an image belong together to form an object.
• Aim of the rules: To organise our perceptual world into the simplest pattern consistent with sensory information and experience.
• Application of these principles together generally results in a grouping of the parts of an image that come from the same object and segregating those that don’t.

stored knowledge and incoming sensory information.
We perceive a
pentagon. Our
mind fills in familiar
shapes.

Separation in figure and ground • We tend to organize our perceptions by distinguishing between a figure
and a ground. • Attention is generally focussed on the figure.
