This study aims to find an effective chirp signal that enhances the amplitude of wave-I of auditory brainstem response (ABR) to diagnose "cochlear synaptopathy." Although several chirp signals have been proposed to enhance the amplitude of wave-V, the effect on wave-I has not been clarified yet. Ten chirp signals, which have shorter group delays than the commonly used "CE-chirp," were produced to measure the amplitudes of wave-I and wave-V of the ABRs. The results show that one of the chirp signals significantly enhanced the amplitude of wave-I, where the group delay is approximately half of the CE-chirp.

Time-frequency analysis of focal seizure electroencephalographic signals performed with depth electrodes in human temporal lobe structures has revealed the occurrence at onset of oscillations at approximately 30-100 Hz that feature a monotonic rapid decay in frequency content. This seizure onset pattern, referred to as chirp, has been identified as a highly specific and sensitive marker of focal seizures that are characterized by low-voltage fast activity. We report that this chirp pattern is also observed in animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy in both in vivo and in vitro preparations.

They can be continuously monitored through contact or contactless measurements performed in the home or a hospital. In this study, a contactless Doppler radar W-band sensing system was used for short-range, contactless vital sign estimation.

Detecting defects in plates is crucial across various industries due to safety risks. While ultrasonic bulk waves offer point-by-point inspections, they are time-consuming and limited in coverage. In contrast, guided waves enable the rapid inspection of larger areas.

To mitigate this noise, a static system is employed that minimizes the quantum noise within the measurement band. However, since gravitational wave inspiral signals are a single frequency changing over time, only noise at the chirp frequency needs to be minimized.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of changes in group delay from a click signal to a chirp signal on the 40-Hz Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) using magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Design: In this study, each participant was exposed to 10 chirp signals with gradually varying group delays from the CE chirp to the click at 60 dB nHL. The 40-Hz ASSR was measured using MEG and evaluated for amplitude and latency in the maximum signal channel at the click signal measured in each hemisphere.
