The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of recording speech-ABRs from cochlear implant (CI) recipients, and to remove the artefact using a clinically applicable single-channel approach. Speech-ABRs were recorded to a 40 ms [da] presented loudspeaker using a two-channel electrode montage. Additionally, artefacts were recorded using an artificial-head incorporating a MED-EL CI with stimulation parameters as similar as possible to those of three MED-EL participants. A single-channel artefact removal technique was applied to all responses. A total of 12 adult CI recipients (6 Cochlear Nucleus and 6 MED-EL CIs). Responses differed according to the CI type, artefact removal resulted in responses containing speech-ARB characteristics in two MED-EL CI participants; however, it was not possible to verify whether these were true responses or were modulated by artefacts, and artefact removal was successful from the artificial-head recordings. This is the first study that attempted to record speech-ABRs from CI recipients. Results suggest that there is a potential for application of a single-channel approach to artefact removal. However, a more robust and adaptive approach to artefact removal that includes a method to verify true responses is needed.

Chimpanzees excel at inference tasks which require that they search for a single food item from partial information. Yet, when presented with 2-item tasks which test the same inference operation, chimpanzees show a consistent breakdown in performance. Here we test a diverse zoo-housed cohort (n = 24) comprising all 4 great ape species under the classic 4-cup 2-item task, previously administered to children and chimpanzees, and a modified task administered to baboons.

Polysomnography (PSG) measures brain activity during sleep via electroencephalography (EEG) using six leads. Artifacts caused by movement or loose leads distort EEG measurements. We developed a method to automatically identify such artifacts in a PSG EEG trace.

Background And Objective: Sparse-view computed tomography (CT) speeds up scanning and reduces radiation exposure in medical diagnosis. However, when the projection views are severely under-sampled, deep learning-based reconstruction methods often suffer from over-smoothing of the reconstructed images due to the lack of high-frequency information. To address this issue, we introduce frequency domain information into the popular projection-image domain reconstruction, proposing a Tri-Domain sparse-view CT reconstruction model based on Sparse Transformer (TD-STrans).

Due to recent advances in 3D reconstruction from RGB images, it is now possible to create photorealistic representations of real-world scenes that only require minutes to be reconstructed and can be rendered in real time. In particular, 3D Gaussian splatting shows promising results, outperforming preceding reconstruction methods while simultaneously reducing the overall computational requirements. The main success of 3D Gaussian splatting relies on the efficient use of a differentiable rasterizer to render the Gaussian scene representation.
