The Newcastle Auditory Battery (NAB) - A temporal and spatial test batteryfor use on adult naive subjects

A battery of tests for assessing the perception of temporal and spatial aco ustic cues is described, together with a software platform for implementing the battery. The software runs on a personal computer tither with a sound card or with widely used laboratory hardware. The battery is intended for u se with neurologically impaired and other naive subjects, to allow inferenc e at the single-subject level for any given subtest. The aim is to allow a systematic psychoacoustic evaluation of complex sound processing in single patients. Normal values are given for the threshold data for 30 of the batt ery are allowed by modular software architecture. naive control subjects ag ed from 20 to 60 years.
