In order to elucidate why many elderly listeners have difficulty understanding speech under reverberation, we investigated the relationship between word intelligibility and auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) in 28 elderly listeners. We hypothesized that the elderly listeners with low word intelligibility scores under reverberation would show degraded subcortical encoding information of reverbe...

Traditionally the study of fish hearing is achieved either by psychophysical method (e.g., behavioral training) or invasive electrophysiological recording (e.g., microphonics, single unit recording). A non-invasive, the auditory brainstem response (ABR) recording method is developed to study fish hearing. With the use of the ABR method and the removal of gas from various gas holding structures,...

a typical radio frequency identification system (rfid) includes one reader and a number of tags. the reader transmit to commands to the tags with interrogation radio signals, and tags receive the command and then respond with their identification. readers with interrogation signals can read tags’ responses. in rfid systems, when multiple tags respond to one reader simultaneously, tag collision ...
