The folks at Google's Magenta project have unveiled a hardware interface for an algorithm-based synthesizer that uses a deep neural network to generate completely new sounds. Musicians drag a finger ...

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data inherently "noisy." Rice University computer scientists have developed algorithms ...

Producing realistic sound models in VR is tricky, even compared to conventional video games. You don't always know how objects will sound in a given environment or where the listener will be, and you ...

WASHINGTON, September 14, 2021 -- Creating an individualized listening experience for each passenger has been an ambition for the auto industry for decades. The acoustically changing nature of the car ...

In a busy room full of talking people, most of us can still pick out one voice to focus on. This common yet complex task—known as the “cocktail party effect”—relies on the brain’s incredible ability ...

Sound design has been vastly simplified because of the innate unscripted nature of VR simulations, but a new algorithm from researchers at Stanford could finally change that. Share on Facebook (opens ...

The first artificial intelligence algorithm to pass the "Turing Test for sound" has been created, capable of producing sounds that fool humans into thinking they are real. Researchers from the ...
