Pitch Perception With the Temporal Limits Encoder for Cochlear Implants
The temporal-limits-encoder (TLE) strategy has been proposed to enhance the representation of temporal fine structure (TFS) in cochlear implants (CIs), which is vital for many aspects of sound perception but is typically discarded by most modern CI ...

Micromachined Double‐Membrane Mechanically Tunable Metamaterial for Thermal Infrared Filtering
Herein, a mechanically tunable double‐layer plasmonic metamaterial leveraging the extraordinary optical transmission effect observed in subwavelength arrays of openings within thin metal layers is presented. The concept is experimentally validated by integrating the proposed metamaterial structure into an electrostatic parallel‐plate actuator to create

“Tone” and Pitch Perception [PDF]
Research has demonstrated that while many aspects of language processing are lateralized to the left cerebral hemisphere in man, perception of pitch differences is not. We have conducted experiments in the dichotic listening paradigm to determine whether speakers of tone languages show a right ear advantage in processing contrasting “tones.” Three sets
