Quentin Summerfield

University of York
United Kingdom

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Perception
  • Acoustics
  • Speech recognition

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Speech recognition, Speech perception, Perception, Acoustics and Motor theory of speech perception. His work on Intelligibility as part of general Speech recognition study is frequently linked to Audio visual and White noise, bridging the gap between disciplines. As part of the same scientific family, Quentin Summerfield usually focuses on Speech perception, concentrating on Visual perception and intersecting with Speech characteristics, Auditory perception and Psychophysics.

Quentin Summerfield combines subjects such as Lateralization of brain function and Formant, Vowel with his study of Perception. He interconnects Speech sounds, Psychoacoustics and Audiology in the investigation of issues within Acoustics. The various areas that Quentin Summerfield examines in his Motor theory of speech perception study include Subjective constancy, Context and Sensory cue.

His most cited work include:

  • Some preliminaries to a comprehensive account of audio-visual speech perception. (380 citations)
  • Quantifying the contribution of vision to speech perception in noise. (318 citations)
  • Modeling the perception of concurrent vowels: vowels with different fundamental frequencies. (303 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Acoustics, Speech recognition, Perception, Vowel and Formant. Quentin Summerfield has researched Acoustics in several fields, including Voice and Audiology. His Intelligibility study in the realm of Speech recognition connects with subjects such as Audio visual.

His Perception research incorporates elements of Monochrome, Fundamental frequency, Face and Speech synthesis. The Vowel study combines topics in areas such as Identity and Representation. His Speech perception research includes elements of Visual perception and Syllabic verse.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Acoustics (51.90%)
  • Speech recognition (45.57%)
  • Perception (39.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2015)?

  • Acoustics (51.90%)
  • Binaural recording (12.66%)
  • Audiology (25.32%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Acoustics, Binaural recording, Audiology, Vowel and Speech recognition. His Acoustics research incorporates themes from Decorrelation and Perception. His work on Auditory scene analysis as part of general Perception research is often related to Everyday life, thus linking different fields of science.

His work in the fields of Cochlear implantation and Noise overlaps with other areas such as Candidacy, QUIET and Time course. His study in the field of Formant is also linked to topics like Coherence and Frequency modulation. His Speech recognition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Speech perception, Sensory cue and Reverberation.

Between 1990 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Lipreading and audio-visual speech perception. (291 citations)
  • Perceptual separation of concurrent speech sounds: Absence of across‐frequency grouping by common interaural delay (188 citations)
  • Cochlear Implants in Adults and Children (176 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Acoustics
  • Perception
  • Artificial intelligence

His main research concerns Acoustics, Perception, Vowel, Speech recognition and Audiology. His Harmonic, Binaural recording and Interval study in the realm of Acoustics interacts with subjects such as Harmonics and Lobe. Quentin Summerfield has included themes like Fundamental frequency and Error detection and correction in his Perception study.

His study on Formant is often connected to Detection theory and Time delays as part of broader study in Vowel. His work carried out in the field of Speech recognition brings together such families of science as Sensory cue and Speech perception, Motor theory of speech perception. His Aural rehabilitation study, which is part of a larger body of work in Audiology, is frequently linked to MEDLINE, Habilitation and Scientific literature, bridging the gap between disciplines.
