Outline of Final Research Achievements

In 2015, I stayed at the University of Edinburgh for one month (August-September, 2015) as a visiting researcher, received advice from first class researchers, created a program of experiments, and collected data. In 2016, I presented the results of my research at two international conferences: the results of the ABX task were presented at New Sounds (Aarhus, Denmark on June 12th, 2016) and the results of the monitoring task were presented at Interspeech (San Francisco, US on September 9th). The results of the latter were also published in the proceedings of Interspeech 2016 (doi: 10.21437/Interspeech.2016-182). In 2017, I wrote up the results of my research and submitted them to an International journal, which is under review.
