Accelerating Psychometric Screening Tests With Bayesian Active Differential Selection [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Classical methods for psychometric function estimation either require excessive measurements or produce only a low-resolution approximation of the target psychometric function. In this paper, we propose a novel solution for rapid screening for a change in the psychometric function estimation of a given patient. We use Bayesian active model selection to

Investigations of Auditory Filters Based Excitation Patterns for Assessment of Noise Induced Hearing Loss [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) as one of major avoidable occupational related health issues has been studied for decades. To assess NIHL, the excitation pattern (EP) has been considered as one of mechanisms to estimate movements of basilar membrane (BM) in cochlea.
