Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings are often contaminated with several artifacts.Powerline interference and baseline noise is always present in EEG response of every patient. A number of strategies are available to deal with noise effectively both at the time of EEG recording as well as during preprocessing of recorded data. The aim of the paper is to give an overview of the most common s...

Monitoring ocean acoustic noise has been the subject of considerable recent study, motivated by the desire to assess the impact of anthropogenic noise on marine life. A combination of measuring ocean sound using an acoustic sensor network and modelling sources of sound and sound propagation has been proposed as an approach to estimating the acoustic noise map within a region of interest. Howeve...

We propose an online speech source separation technique in a meeting situation. The purpose in this paper is online extraction of each speech source from multichannel microphone input signal which is contaminated by speech sources of the other persons (noise sources). The proposed method is one of adaptive beamformers. The proposed method estimates the noise covariance matrix of the multichanne...

Glass micropipettes are widely used to record neural activity from single neurons or clusters of neurons extracellularly in live animals. However, to date, there has been no comprehensive study of noise in extracellular recordings with glass micropipettes. The purpose of this work was to assess various noise sources that affect extracellular recordings and to create model systems in which novel...

[1] Interstation cross correlations of ambient seismic noise from 1 year of continuous data at periods between 6 and 50 s are used to study the origin of the ambient noise using stations located in Europe, southern Africa, Asia, and three regions within North America. The signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) of Rayleigh waves for positive and negative correlation time lags at periods of 8, 14, 25 and 5...

Compressors noise reduction and noise sources understanding is a permanent challenge for design engineers. The growing focus on noise level as a key buying factor requires a finest analysis capability at early design stages. This article will introduce a breakthrough finite-element method to simulate the compressor noise starting from its internal sources. The developed tool would be useful for...

environmental noise pollution is among the most urban problems which can be caused due to real sources like traffic, train and virtual sources provided by rigid surfaces. one of the urban structures in which can perform as a virtual noise source are the installed gutters alongside highways. these structures are mostly used to pass the wastewater or the rainfall. in this research, the acoustical...

background: the purpose of this research was to determine the traffic noise level and changes in the kerman city, southeast iran in recent years. methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out in 2008 to investigate the existing noise situation in kerman. sound levels (l max , l min , l eq , l 99 , l 90 , l 50 and l 10 ) were determined throughout 13 stations using sound level measurement ...

ABSTRACT It is expected that interferometric gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO will be eventually limited by fundamental noise sources like shot noise and Brownian motion, as well as by seismic noise. In the commissioning process, other technical noise sources (electronics noise, alignment fluctuations) limit the sensitivity and are eliminated one by one. We propose here a way to correl...
