Hearing assistance system

Hervé Lissek, Patrick Marmaroli, Gilles André Courtois

There is provided a hearing assistance system, comprising a transmission unit (10) comprising a microphone arrangement (17) for capturing audio signals from a voice of a speaker ( 11 ) using the transmission unit and being adapted to transmit the audio sig ...

Ultrasonic driving method

Jacques Jacot

A method for driving a first component (11) into a second component (12) by superimposing a mechanical wave of ultrasonic frequency (18) onto the movement (17) of at least one of the components (11, 12). The method comprises a step of adjusting the paramet ...

Up-Down Chair: A novel mechatronic device to assess otolith function in patients with vestibular disorders

Silvestro Micera

This paper describes a novel mechatronic platform, named "Up-Down Chair" (UDC), aimed at investigating otolith function in patients with vestibular disorders. The UDC was designed to provide a wide range of repeatable and controllable vertical oscillations ...

Neural Decoding of Discriminative Auditory Object Features Depends on Their Socio-Affective Valence

Melissa Saenz, Wietske Van der Zwaag

Human voices consist of specific patterns of acoustic features that are considerably enhanced during affective vocalizations. These acoustic features are presumably used by listeners to accurately discriminate between acoustically or emotionally similar vo ...

Distinct vestibular effects on early and late somatosensory cortical processing in humans

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Michiel van Elk, Christian Pfeiffer

In non-human primates several brain areas contain neurons that respond to both vestibular and somatosensory stimulation. In humans, vestibular stimulation activates several somatosensory brain regions and improves tactile perception. However, less is known ...

Synergistic Coupling Between Electrochemical and Ultrasound Treatments for Organic Pollutant Degradation as a Function of the Electrode Material (IrO2 and BDD) and the Ultrasonic frequency (20 and 800 kHz)

César Pulgarin, Erika Herrera Calderon, Fernando Guzman Duque

Solutions of the organic pollutant model, Crystal Violet (CV), were subjected to ultrasonic, electrochemical treatment and its combination. Ultrasound was tested at two frequencies (20 kHz or 800 kHz) and 80 W in deionized water. After 120 min, 20 kHz cond ...

Implant-based three-dimensional superimposition of the growing mandible in a rabbit model

The reliable assessment of craniofacial morphological changes during growth requires invariant regions for image registration. As these regions have not yet been identified in three dimensions, intra-osseous implants are required as fiducial markers for th ...

Use of gas bubbles for ultrasound Doppler flow velocity profile measurement

Giovanni De Cesare, Tobias Meile

Ultrasonic velocimetry based on the Doppler shift effect accurately provides quasi-instantaneous flow fields for fluids with a sufficiently high acoustic scattering level. However, ultrasonic velocity instruments are known to perform poorly in clear water ...

Genetic dissection of the role of BMP signaling for the development of the auditory brainstem nuclei and the large calyx of Held synapse

Elin Kristina Kronander

Synapses are key elements for communication within the complex network of neurons that make up our brain. Interestingly, synaptic connections can differ greatly in form and function, depending on the specific circuit into which they are embedded. In this P ...
