A technique to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of recordings from cuff electrodes is presented. It is also shown that the system is inherently velocity selective. Unlike competing methods, the use of the system as a practical velocity-selective filter requires only relatively simple signal processing. This is due to the intrinsic properties of the multi-electrode cuff system.

This paper analyzes equilibria in sequential take-it-or-leave-it sales when demand is stochastic. It is shown that equilibria in this sales mechanism, unlike in sequential auctions, trade-off allocative efficiency and competing buyers’ opportunities to acquire an item to be sold, permitting prices and expected revenue above those of one-shot offers. Hence Coase-type conjectures are invalid in t...

This paper contributes to the debate over land tenure in rural China by conceptualizing and measuring multiple dimensions of property rights in a way which elucidates the competing interests which are affected by the property rights regime. Utilizing a unique village level data set on property rights, this paper argues that the regional and temporal variation in rural property rights signals a ...

How does a background conversation affect a foreground conversation? In this scenario, and unlike traditional studies of noise-induced speech modification (Lombard speech), listeners have to cope with the additional challenge of competing speech material. In the current study, pairs of talkers engaged in natural dialogs in the absence or presence of another talker pair. Changes in speech level ...
