Sound reconstruction from human brain activity via a generative model with brain-like auditory features [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The successful reconstruction of perceptual experiences from human brain activity has provided insights into the neural representations of sensory experiences. However, reconstructing arbitrary sounds has been avoided due to the complexity of temporal sequences in sounds and the limited resolution of neuroimaging modalities.

Advances in Hybrid Icing and Frosting Protection Strategies for Optics, Lens, and Photonics in Cold Environments Using Thin‐Film Acoustic Waves

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of fundamentals and recent advances of transparent thin‐film surface acoustic wave technologies on glass substrates for monitoring and prevention/elimination of fog, ice, and frost. Fogging, icing, or frosting on optical lenses, optics/photonics, windshields, vehicle/airplane windows, and solar panel ...

The dynorphin/kappa opioid receptor mediates adverse immunological and behavioral outcomes induced by repetitive blast trauma

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background Adverse pathophysiological and behavioral outcomes related to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chronic pain are common following blast exposure and contribute to decreased quality of life, but ...

Monitoring and Maintaining Laser Surface Texture Quality Based on Acoustic and Optical Process Emissions during Direct Laser Interference Patterning

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Acoustic emissions during direct laser interference patterning are shown to strongly correlate with surface texture depth. By implementing a closed‐loop control system utilizing acoustic feedback, consistent microstructures with uniform depth are achieved despite laser power fluctuations.

Liver Disease Mini-Residency

MedEdPORTAL, 2013
Introduction Liver and biliary symptoms led to over 450,000 outpatient clinic visits per year in the US in 2009. By default, primary care providers (PCPs) in rural or underserved communities often manage liver disease without ready access to specialist ...

RWCP-SSD-Onomatopoeia: Onomatopoeic Word Dataset for Environmental Sound Synthesis [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Environmental sound synthesis is a technique for generating a natural environmental sound. Conventional work on environmental sound synthesis using sound event labels cannot finely control synthesized sounds, for example, the pitch and timbre. We consider that onomatopoeic words can be used for environmental sound synthesis.

The design of sonically-enhanced widgets [PDF]

, 1998
This paper describes the design of user-interface widgets that include non-speech sound. Previous research has shown that the addition of sound can improve the usability of human–computer interfaces.

Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Introducing an electronic tracking tool into daily multidisciplinary discharge rounds on a medicine service: a quality improvement project to reduce length of stay

BMJ Open Quality, 2018
Background Inefficient coordination of care around discharge can increase length of stay, lead to ineffective transitions and contribute an unnecessary cost burden to patients and hospital systems.
