1 INTRODUCTION In this chapter I briefly review the history and the future of computational auditory scene analysis (CASA). Auditory scene analysis describes the process we use to understand the world around us. Our two ears hear a cacophony of sounds and understand that the periodic tic-toc comes from a clock, the singing voice comes from a radio and the steady hum is coming from the refrigera...

We present an automatic segmentation method for the extraction of first Heschl’s gyrus (HG), the morphological landmark for human primary auditory cortex. Extracted HG regions can be used to test functional hypotheses about this area using a region-of-interest (ROI)based approach. The proposed technique consists of a coarse segmentation phase using a statistical deformation-based atlas, followe...

In natural environments, visual and auditory stimulation elicit responses across a large set of brain regions in a fraction of a second, yielding representations of the multimodal scene and its properties. The rapid and complex neural dynamics underlying visual and auditory information processing pose major challenges to human cognitive neuroscience. Brain signals measured non-invasively are in...

Aim: The study was undertaken to quantify and to analyze the changes in the motion characteristics of bull spermatozoa during various stages of cryopreservation cycle. Materials and Methods: Using computer assisted semen analysis (CASA) technique, 26 ejaculates, collected from two Jersey bulls were analyzed for motility, head behaviour and swimming pattern of spermatozoa on dilution, pre-freeze...

It has been argued that dyslexics suffer from temporal sensory processing deficits which affect their ability to discriminate speech in quiet environments. The impact of auditory deficits on non-language aspects of perception, however, is poorly understood. In almost every natural-listening environment, one must constantly construct scenes of the auditory world by grouping and analyzing sounds ...
