A new signal processing algorithm for improved pitch perception in cochlear implants is proposed. The algorithm realizes fundamental frequency (F0) coding by explicitly modulating the amplitude of the electrical stimulus. The proposed processing scheme is compared with the standard advanced combination encoder strategy in psychophysical music perception related tasks. Possible filter-bank and loudness cues between the strategies under study were minimized to predominantly focus on differences in temporal processing. The results demonstrate significant benefits provided by the new coding strategy for pitch ranking, melodic contour identification, and familiar melody identification.

Different measures of fundamental frequency and vocal satisfaction among transgender men and women.

January 2025
Departamento de Saúde Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas, Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP - Campinas (SP), Brasil.
Purpose: To verify possible correlations between fo and voice satisfaction among Brazilian transgender people.
Methods: An observational, cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with the Trans Woman Voice Questionnaire (TWVQ), voice recording (sustained vowel and automatic speech) and extraction of seven acoustic measurements related to fo position and variability in transgender people. Participants were divided into two groups according to gender.
Pitch perception in school-aged children: Pure tones, resolved and unresolved harmonics.

Pitch perception affects children's ability to perceive speech, appreciate music, and learn in noisy environments, such as their classrooms. Here, we investigated pitch perception for pure tones as well as resolved and unresolved complex tones with a fundamental frequency of 400 Hz in 8- to 11-year-old children and adults. Pitch perception in children was better for resolved relative to unresolved complex tones, consistent with adults.

Investigating this process is essential, as quantum-limited noise establishes fundamental performance limits for their application. To date, studies on quantum diffusion and the resulting timing jitter of these solitons remain sparse.

The MXene film is coated at the root of the customized QTF. The film area is proven to have little impact on resonance frequency, bandwidth, quality factor, and amplitude of the second harmonic signal (2) based on the fundamental flexural mode.

By adaptively optimizing the length of the acquired spectrum and dynamically adjusting the frequency domain resolution, the proposed scheme can precisely calculate the eigenfrequency of the reflected spectrum. Therefore, the adaptive FFT demodulation scheme can effectively enhance the extraction ability of phase quadrature demodulation signal.
