Development of a Real Time Sparse Non-Negative Matrix Factorization Module for Cochlear Implants by Using xPC Target

, 2013
Cochlear implants (CIs) require efficient speech processing to maximize information transmission to the brain, especially in noise. A novel CI processing strategy was proposed in our previous studies, in which sparsity-constrained non-negative matrix ...

When Thriving for More Collapses the System: The Academic Reproduction of Uncaring Structures

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay argues that the widening gap between aspirational aims and visionary orientations and the prevailing practices in neoliberal academia stems from deeper, historically rooted, market‐based logics shaping our institutions, increasingly governed by economic values and academic subjectivities therein.

Predictors of speech intelligibility in rooms

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986
Three different types of acoustical measures were compared as predictors of speech intelligibility in rooms of varied size and acoustical conditions. These included signal-to-noise measures, the speech transmission index derived from modulation transfer functions, and useful/detrimental sound ratios obtained from early/late sound ratios, speech, and ...

Challenging Business Schools Through Subversive Performativity: The Potential of Art‐based Pedagogies

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Business schools are often criticized for reproducing growth‐oriented norms, but alternative pedagogies remain difficult to normalize. Drawing on Butler's theory of subversive performativity, this study examines how art‐based pedagogy enables academics to challenge growth logics in business schools by transforming their identities over time ...

Resonance and Psychic Affirmation: A Comparison of Hartmut Rosa's and Daniel Haybron's Conceptions of Human Happiness

Constellations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper compares Hartmut Rosa's resonance theory of “the good life” and Daniel Haybron's psychic affirmation theory of “happiness,” which he differentiates, as a descriptive notion, from “well‐being” as an evaluative notion. Haybron suggests that a central determinant of happiness has to be the somewhat reliable occurrence of positive ...

Sensory representations and pupil-indexed listening effort provide complementary contributions to multi-talker speech intelligibility

Scientific Reports
Multi-talker speech intelligibility requires successful separation of the target speech from background speech. Successful speech segregation relies on bottom-up neural coding fidelity of sensory information and top-down effortful listening.

The Purview of the Particular: Power and Method in Foucaultian Genealogy

Constellations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If Foucault was anything, he was a particularist. And yet, if we are to find valuable tools in his method today, they must be able to assist our framing and analysis of non‐particular issues. By what means can Foucault's methods grasp trans‐contextual problems?

Noisy Speech Intelligibility Enhancement.

Informatica, 1999
This paper addresses the study of the speech intelligibility enhancement. The speech model, noise sources, perceptual aspects of speech, and performance evaluation are reviewed. The intelligibility enhancement system based on spectral subtraction technique is investigated.
