Sleep spindle detection using modern signal processing techniques such as the Short-Time Fourier Transform and Wavelet Analysis are common research methods. These methods are computationally intensive, especially when analysing data from overnight sleep recordings. The authors of this paper propose an alternative using pre-designed IIR filters and a multivariate Gaussian Mixture Model. Features extracted with IIR filters are clustered using a Gaussian Mixture Model without the use of any subject independent thresholds. The Algorithm was tested on a database consisting of overnight sleep PSG of 5 subjects and an online public spindles database consisting of six 30 minute sleep excerpts. An overall sensitivity of 57% and a specificity of 98.24% was achieved in the overnight database group and a sensitivity of 65.19% at a 16.9% False Positive proportion for the 6 sleep excerpts.

Lock-in amplifiers are instrumental in the precise measurement of extremely small AC signals within high-noise environments. Traditionally, noise reduction in these instruments relies on infinite impulse response (IIR) filters, which can necessitate prolonged settling times to ensure the acquisition of accurate, statistically independent data. While moving average filters offer faster settling times, their non-monotonic frequency response may not be optimal for noise reduction.

Cochlear implants (CI) allow deaf patients to improve language perception and improving their emotional valence assessment. Electroencephalographic (EEG) measures were employed so far to improve CI programming reliability and to evaluate listening effort in auditory tasks, which are particularly useful in conditions when subjective evaluations are scarcely appliable or reliable. Unfortunately, the presence of CI on the scalp introduces an electrical artifact coupled to EEG signals that masks physiological features recorded by electrodes close to the site of implant.

This study aimed to evaluate and design masks against viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2 associated with COVID-19. A continuum filtration model was developed where the rate of particle deposition and "sticking" on the filter fibers is a critical term in the mass transfer, together with permeation velocity, filter porosity, tortuosity, and Brownian diffusion. CFD simulations of the airflow during respiration lead to the recommendation that the filter permeability should be above 4 × 10 m to direct the airflow for effectiveness against virus particles; otherwise, low filter permeabilities cause the unfiltered air to flow preferentially through the leak gaps between the mask and the headform.

Here, we compare five filters in their ability to preserve signal and remove noise.
