18 Dec 2017TL;DR: Results showed an increase in the frontal Theta and parietal Alpha for a difficult (but not the most difficult) noise condition, and for Theta in correspondence of the stimulus, and along the task.
Abstract: Theta and Alpha EEG rhythms appear useful for the listening effort estimation. In particular, Alpha would inhibit irrelevant stimuli, and Theta underlies working memory and processing. The balance between them seems essential for the word recognition, therefore evaluating the listening effort experienced by hearing impaired patients appears worthy, since noise/distortions in a speech signal increase listening effort. Aim of the study was the estimation of the effort during word in noise recognition under different noise conditions, and along the task. Results showed an increase in the frontal Theta and parietal Alpha for a difficult (but not the most difficult) noise condition, and for Theta in correspondence of the stimulus. Additionally, frontal Theta activity increased along the task for the same difficult noise condition during and after the stimulus.

TL;DR: It is shown that, in mammals, at least, Georg von Békésy's data do not differ from those that could be collected using modern techniques but with the same, very loud sounds, but in chicken data, there is in all cases a major difference to frequency maps collected using low-level sounds.

TL;DR: This work generates a low-dimensional representation from a short unit segment of audio, and couple this fingerprint with a fast maximum inner-product search, and presents a contrastive learning framework that derives from the segment-level search objective.
Abstract: Most of existing audio fingerprinting systems have limitations to be used for high-specific audio retrieval at scale. In this work, we generate a low-dimensional representation from a short unit segment of audio, and couple this fingerprint with a fast maximum inner-product search. To this end, we present a contrastive learning framework that derives from the segment-level search objective. Each update in training uses a batch consisting of a set of pseudo labels, randomly selected original samples, and their augmented replicas. These replicas can simulate the degrading effects on original audio signals by applying small time offsets and various types of distortions, such as background noise and room/microphone impulse responses. In the segment-level search task, where the conventional audio fingerprinting systems used to fail, our system using 10x smaller storage has shown promising results. Our code and dataset are available at \url{this https URL}.

17 Nov 2008TL;DR: In this article, a method of forming an electrode array consisting of an elongate comb structure comprising a plurality of longitudinally-spaced electrode contacts extending from and supported by a spine is described.
Abstract: A method of forming an electrode array is disclosed, the method comprising forming an elongate comb structure comprising a plurality of longitudinally-spaced electrode contacts extending from and supported by a spine, electrically connecting each of a plurality of electrically conductive pathways to a respective one of the plurality of electrode contacts, placing the conductive pathways adjacent the contacts, placing silicone over the conductive pathways and contacts, curing the silicone so as to substantially retain the longitudinal spacing between neighboring contacts, and severing the spine from the plurality of electrode contacts.
