In this paper we describe a novel approach to evaluate stimulus-response functions of neurons in the auditory system. This method can account for spectral and other features of acoustic stimuli, e.g. amplitude of sound envelope, sound direction, etc. This approach allows us to investigate the importance of a diverse set of stimulus features for processing sounds by auditory neurons. It also all...

one of the nondestructive methods for assessing the internal quality of some fruits is the processing and analyzing the sound signals generated by an impact on the fruit. in this regard determining the location and the suitable impact levels for a certain fruit is required. in this study, the selected crimson sweet variety of watermelon was used for the acoustic tests by imposing the impact for...

Several applications would emerge from the development of efficient and robust sound classification systems able to identify the nature of non-speech sound sources. This paper proposes a novel approach that combines a simple feature generation procedure, a supervised learning process and fewer parameters in order to obtain an efficient sound classification system solution in hardware. The syste...

the fabrication of complex-shaped parts out of (wt %) co-28cr-6mo alloy by three-dimensional printing (3dp) was studied using two grades of the alloy with average particle sizes of 20 and 75 μm. to produce sound specimens, 3dp processing parameters were tuned. the sintering behavior of the powders was characterized by the dilatometric analysis. batch sintering in argon atmosphere at 1280 °c for...

We describe the implementation of an environment for Gesturally-Realized Audio, Speech and Song Performance (GRASSP), which includes a glove-based interface, a mapping/training interface, and a collection of Max/MSP/Jitter bpatchers that allow the user to improvise speech, song, sound synthesis, sound processing, sound localization, and video processing. The mapping/training interface provides ...
