This paper analyzes the application of methods developed in automatic speech recognition (ASR) to better understand neural activity measured with electrocorticography (ECoG) during the presentation of speech. ECoG data is collected from temporal cortex in two subjects listening to a matrix sentence test. We investigate the relation of ECoG signals and acoustic speech that has been processed wit...

AbstractListening is one of the significant roles in educational process English language learning. Despite its importance our daily communication, it a skill where most EFL learners struggle with during online listening comprehension practice. This study examines difficulties faced by (i.e., Intensive learners) preparing for IELTS test. In this paper, researchers reviewed terms and learning, i...

Energy constraint long-range wireless sensor/ actuator based solutions are theoretically the perfect choice to support the next generation of city-scale cyber-physical systems. Traditional systems adopt periodic control which increases network congestion and actuations while burdens the energy consumption. Recent control theory studies overcome these problems by introducing aperiodic strategies...

This paper reports recent theoretical and creative results of an ongoing postdoctoral study entitled Sound Design for Urban Spaces. The study focuses on the design process of novel audio devices and studies listening strategies for people in transit through the city. Firstly, we will review some conceptual contributions concerning listening and acoustic analysis from the perspective of urban st...
