we compare performance of adaptive schemes which are based on radial-basis functions and kalman filters for fast extraction of auditory evoked potentials. moreover, we propose a new method based on evoked potential modeling in the kalman filter framework, which can improve the accuracy compared to the existing methods. simulation results show that adaptive schemes and the kalman method are not ...

background :aging can cause loss of balance, which may lead to physical and psychological problems. as the role of the otolith organs in maintaining postural stability has been emphasized in recent years, the present study investigated the effect of aging on saccular function using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cvemp).   methods : the participants were assigned into two groups...

purpose: to determine the clinical and paraclinical features of multiple sclerosis (ms) in patients presenting for the first time with optic neuritis. methods:  in this descriptive study, 35 patients with clinical evidence of optic neuritis were enrolled. our evaluation included a neurological examination, visual evoked potentials (vep), brainstem-auditory evoked potentials (baep), and brain mr...

introduction:   the daf is a large persian frame drum used as a musical instrument in both popular and classical music which can induce a percussive sound at low frequencies (146–290 hz) with peaks of up to 130 dbspl. the percussive sounds have a power distribution in the region of saccular sensitivity. in view of the saccular stimulation by sound in humans, we decided to use cervical vestibula...

background: we compared the wave amplitude of visually evoked potential (vep) between patients with esotropic and anisometropic amblyopic eyes and a normal group. methods: the wave amplitude of vep was documented in 2 groups of persons with amblyopia (15 with esotropia and 28 with anisometropia) and 1 group of individuals with normal visual acuity (n, 15). the amplitude of p100 was recorded mon...

purpose: to assess three main emotions (happy, sad and calm) by various classifiers, using appropriate feature extraction and feature selection. materials and methods: in this study a combination of power spectral density and a series of statistical features are proposed as statistical-frequency features. next, a feature selection method from pattern recognition (pr) tools is presented to extra...

speech delay with an unknown cause is a problem among children. this diagnosis is the last differential diagnosis after observing normal findings in routine hearing tests. the present study was undertaken to determine whether auditory brainstem responses to click stimuli are different between normally developing children and children suffering from delayed speech with unknown causes. in this cr...

background and aim: autoimmune inner ear disease (aied) may accompany certain systemic conditions, such as rheumatoid arth­ritis, and manifest audiovestibular dysfunction. this study aimed to compare the vestibular function between rheumatoid arthritis (ra) patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials and caloric tests. methods: in this cross-sectional study...

background and aim: motion sickness (ms) is usually generated when there is a mismatch between the senses which serve balance. one of these senses is related to vestibular system, so it is highly possible that ms reflects in vestibular test results. but there are some conflicts in correlation between vestibular findings and ms. thus, the objective of this study was to provide an overview of ves...
