Mammals can hear sounds extending over a vast range of sound levels with remarkable accuracy. How auditory neurons code sound level over such a range is unclear; firing rates of individual neurons ...

This study presents important observations about how the human brain uses long-term priors (acquired during our lifetime of listening) to make predictions about expected sounds - an open question in ...

Abstract: The increasing use of wireless systems is creating great deal of interest in the development of robust speech systems in wireless environment. The major degradations involved in wireless ...

Abstract: In this paper, effect of speech coding on the performance of speaker identification system is presented. Experiments were performed with G711, G726 and GSM-FR standards coding algorithms.

Studies that use UK hospital coding data to examine 'weekend effects' for acute conditions, such as stroke, may be undermined by inaccurate coding, suggests new research. Studies that use UK hospital ...
