A reverberation time (RT) estimation method is presented which consists of three steps, the anechoic speech is first recovered by maximizing the skewness of the linear prediction residual of the reverberant speech, then room impulse response (RIR) is identified using the recovered anechoic and reverberant speech, finally RIR is truncated to compensate the estimation errors and RT is estimated using the Schroeder's method. Simulations show that the proposed method successfully estimates RT less than 1.4 s and is insensitive to the speech content such as the number of long pauses and sharp offsets.

Article Synopsis
- The auditory system can precisely track quick changes in sound, but the importance of this ability (temporal fine structure or TFS) for hearing is still debated.
- Researchers studied 200 participants to see how TFS sensitivity affects speech perception in noisy environments.
- Results showed that better TFS sensitivity helped more with listening in reverberant spaces and led to quicker responses, suggesting it plays a key role in everyday hearing experiences.

Neuronal activity in the highly organized networks of the central nervous system is the vital basis for various functional processes, such as perception, motor control, and cognition. Understanding interneuronal connectivity and how activity is regulated in the neuronal circuits is crucial for interpreting how the brain works. Multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) are particularly useful for studying the dynamics of neuronal network activity and their development as they allow for real-time, high-throughput measurements of neural activity.

Ultrasound is an excellent way to acquire data that reveal useful information about systems operating in harsh environments, which may include elevated temperature, ionizing radiation, and aggressive chemicals. The effects of harsh environments on piezoelectric materials have been studied in much more depth than the other aspects of ultrasonic transducers used in pulse-echo mode. Therefore, finite element simulations and laboratory experiments are used to demonstrate the unique characteristics of pulse-echo immersion testing.

Here we describe a type of depolarising plateau potentials (PPs; sustained depolarisations outlasting the stimuli) in layer 2/3 pyramidal cells (L2/3PC) in rat prefrontal cortex (PFC) slices, using whole-cell somatic recordings. To our knowledge, this PP type has not been described before. In particular, unlike previously described plateau potentials that originate in the large apical dendrite of L5 cortical pyramidal neurons, these L2/3PC PPs are generated independently of the apical dendrite.
