EAR participated to a new paper making the essential link between ecoacoustics and psychoacoustics. This work, published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, is the first achievement of a great collaboration with the Laboratoire des Systèmes Perceptifs of the ENS headed by Christian Lorenzi. Led by Frédéric Apoux, the psychoacoustic experiments reveal that human listeners can discriminate soundscapes based on 2 second recordings only. This discrimination appear to be based on gross spectral but not temporal cues.
