I N T R O D U C T I O N Recent experiments performed by two groups of researchers at CMU have gathered data on subjects using speech recognizers in office-like environments (Rudnicky, et al., 1989, Stern & Acero, 1989). These experiments are presented by the authors in these proceedings. Among other things, they show that non-verbal events (non-stationary noises) do create serious problems for ...

This handy, pocket-size mobile transmission detector can sense the presence of an activated mobile phone from a distance of one and half meters. So it can be used to prevent the use of mobile phones in examination halls, confidential rooms, etc. There are existing models for the cell phone detectors which works when some transmission occurs from the phone. In this paper, we are proposing a dete...

Determining if we, or another agent, were responsible for a sensory event can require an accurate sense of timing. Our sense of appropriate timing relationships must, however, be malleable as there is a variable delay between the physical timing of an event and when sensory signals concerning that event are encoded in the brain. One dramatic demonstration of such malleability involves having pe...

BACKGROUND The ICECAP measures potentially offer a broader assessment of quality of life and well-being, in comparison to measures routinely used in economic evaluation, such as the EQ-5D-3 L. This broader assessment may allow measurement of the full effects of an intervention or treatment. Previous research has indicated that the ICECAP-O (for older people) and EQ-5D-3 L measure provide comple...
