Other business or activities at the meeting: Revision of the talk of Leandro Rodríguez on the AURAL Escuela Muestra de Fin de Año on Thursday December 13. The gathering with potential new members of the section was successful.
Meeting Location: Buenos Aires
Finally, the two research groups showed their work. Group II started —focused on binaural signals, composed by Pires-Martín-Tritz-Speranza- did an introduction to binaural perception, referring to the standards defined by AES 69 and the general concepts required (HRTF, acoustic convergence/divergerce, influence of visual stimuli, etc.). A summary of the experiments of the year was presented, along with conclusions and answers for the questions from the audience. Later, Group I —focused on space modeling, composed by Díaz-Ochat-Torres- presented an introduction of Francis Rumsey´s scene-based paradigm. After the theory, they showed and analysis of music in stereo based on FFT 1/3 octave, RMS and BPM that should be used on a generic scene construction presented by Rodríguez. The Faculty Advisor answered questions about the composing method of the scene, concerning source components, perceived distance and stereo localization.
