WHIS: Hearing impairment simulator based on the gammachirp auditory filterbank [PDF]
A new version of a hearing impairment simulator (WHIS) was implemented based on a revised version of the gammachirp filterbank (GCFB), which incorporates fast frame-based processing, absolute threshold (AT), an audiogram of a hearing-impaired (HI) listener, and a parameter to control the cochlear input-output (IO) function. The parameter referred to as

Objective hearing threshold identification from auditory brainstem response measurements using supervised and self-supervised approaches [PDF]
Hearing loss is a major health problem and psychological burden in humans. Mouse models offer a possibility to elucidate genes involved in the underlying developmental and pathophysiological mechanisms of hearing impairment. To this end, large-scale mouse phenotyping programs include auditory phenotyping of single-gene knockout mouse lines.

Abstract Drawing on a case study of unconscious bias levels in the Australian Public Service (APS), findings suggest gender equality remains a concern for career prospects for women, particularly for Indigenous women when two‐thirds of Indigenous employees in the APS are women.

Flight and freezing are two vital defensive behaviors in the process of avoiding natural enemies in mice. We investigated the neural activity in dPAG nuclei of mice under two defensive behaviors, and found different coding features between flight and freezing behaviors. Abstract Background Flight and freezing are two vital defensive behaviors that mice

Abstract A growing body of research suggests that locus coeruleus‐norepinephrine (LC‐NE) system may function differently in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Understanding the dynamics of both tonic (resting pupil diameter) and phasic (pupil dilation response [PDR] and event‐related potential [ERP]) indices may provide meaningful ...

Reduced social attention in autism is magnified by perceptual load in naturalistic environments
Abstract Individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) describe differences in both social cognition and sensory processing, but little is known about the causal relationship between these disparate functional domains. In the present study, we sought to understand how a core characteristic of autism—reduced social attention—is impacted by the ...

Ambiguity attitudes in qualitative contexts: The role of prior beliefs
Abstract Most studies of ambiguity aversion rely on experimental paradigms involving monetary bets. Thus, the extent to which ambiguity aversion occurs outside of such contexts is much less understood, particularly when the situation cannot easily be reduced to numerical terms.

Health effects of a ban on late‐night alcohol sales
Abstract This paper studies the impact of a ban on late‐night off‐premise alcohol sales between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. in Germany. We use three large administrative data sets: (i) German diagnosis related groups‐Statistik, (ii) data from a large social health insurance, and (iii) Road Traffic Accident Statistics.

Pencil‐beam scanning proton therapy for the treatment of glomus jugulare tumours
The rare locally destructive glomus jugulare tumours could be treated using pencil‐beam scanning proton therapy (an alternative to surgery). Proton therapy provides good local control and acceptable toxicity. This paper reports treatment outcomes, acute and early late toxicities of 12 patients with glomus jugulare tumours.

Development and Current Status of the “Cambridge” Loudness Models
This article reviews the evolution of a series of models of loudness developed in Cambridge, UK. The first model, applicable to stationary sounds, was based on modifications of the model developed by Zwicker, including the introduction of a filter to ...
