Application of Meddis' inner hair-cell model to the prediction of subjective speech quality
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper demonstrates how an instrumental speechquality measure based on the comparison of auditorynerve ring-patterns can be constructed. Four available subjective tests prove that the mean opinion scores (MOS) estimated by the objective measure are in good agreement with the subjectively obtained results.

An evaluation of eight computer models of mammalian inner hair-cell function.
Eight computer models of auditory inner hair cells have been evaluated. From an extensive literature on mammalian species, a subset of well-reported auditory-nerve properties in response to tone-burst stimuli were selected and tested for in the models. This subset included tests for: (a) rate-level functions for onset and steady-state responses; (b) two-component adaptation; (c) recovery of spo...
متن کاملAn Analogue VLSI Implementation of the Meddis Inner Hair Cell Model
The Meddis inner hair cell model is a widely accepted, but computationally intensive computer model of mammalian inner hair cell function. We have produced an analogue VLSI implementation of this model that operates in real time in the current domain by using translinear and log-domain circuits. The circuit has been fabricated on a chip and tested against the Meddis model for (a) rate level fun...
متن کاملInner-Hair Cells Parameterized-Hardware Implementation for Personalized Auditory Nerve Stimulation
In this paper the hardware implementation of an inner hair cell model is presented. Main features of the design are the use of Meddis' transduction structure and the methodology for Design with Reusability. Which allows future migration to new hardware and design refinements for speech processing and custom-made hearing aids.
متن کاملRole of Types of Inner Speech in the Prediction of Symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Somatization, and Distress in the Normal Population
Objective: It is extremely common for adults to use inner speech to regulate their behavior. Despite this, little is known about the underlying processes that may explain why people use inner speech differently. This study aimed to determine the relationship between different types of inner speech with symptoms of anxiety, depression, somatization, and distress in normal people. Methods: The r...
متن کاملTherapeutic potential of cell therapy in the repair of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons: review article
The mammalian cochlea is a highly complex structure which contains several cells, including sensory receptor or hair cells. The main function of the cochlear hair cells is to convert the mechanical vibrations of the sound into electrical signals, then these signals travel to the brain along the auditory nerve. Auditory hair cells in some amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds can regenerate or r...
