Array measurements can be contaminated by strong noise, especially when dealing with microphones located near or in a flow. The denoising of these measurements is crucial to allow efficient data analysis or source imaging. In this paper, a denoising approach based on a Probabilistic Factor Analysis is proposed. It relies on a decomposition of the measured cross-spectral matrix (CSM) using the inherent correlation structure of the acoustical field and of the flow-induced noise. This method is compared with three existing approaches, aiming at denoising the CSM, without any reference or background noise measurements and without any information about the sources of interest. All these methods make the assumption that the noise is statistically uncorrelated over the microphones, and only one of them significantly impairs the off-diagonal terms of the CSM. The main features of each method are first reviewed, and the performances of the methods are then evaluated by way of numerical simulations along with measurements in a closed-section wind tunnel.

Matched-field processing (MFP) achieves underwater source localization by measuring the correlation between the array and replica signals, with traditional MFP being equivalent to estimating the Euclidean distance between the data cross-spectral density matrix (CSDM) and replica matrices. However, in practical applications, random inhomogeneities in the marine environment and inaccurate estimation of CSDM reduce MFP performance. The traditional minimum variance matched-field processor with environmental perturbation constraints perturbs a priori environment parameters to obtain linear constraints and yields the optimal weight vectors as the replica vectors.

Alpha (8-12 Hz) frequency band oscillations are among the most informative features in electroencephalographic (EEG) assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). Because interareal alpha synchrony is thought to facilitate long-range communication in healthy brains, coherence measures of resting-state alpha oscillations may provide insights into a patient's capacity for higher-order cognition beyond channel-wise estimates of alpha power. In multi-channel EEG, global coherence methods may be used to augment standard spectral analysis methods by both estimating the strength and identifying the structure of coherent oscillatory networks.

Article Synopsis
- High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is used to create cavitation, which is important for applications like targeted drug delivery, but monitoring cavitation effectively has challenges due to low spatial resolution in passive imaging.
- The proposed solution involves adapting a method called cross spectral matrix fitting (CMF) to enhance passive cavitation imaging by using techniques that improve the resolution of cavitation maps.
- Results indicate that the new CMF-based methods significantly improve axial resolution and contrast-to-noise ratio compared to existing techniques, demonstrating better performance especially with complex cavitation sources.

Mediation analysis assesses whether an exposure directly produces changes in cognitive behavior or is influenced by intermediate "mediators". Electroencephalographic (EEG) spectral measurements have been previously used as effective mediators representing diverse aspects of brain function. However, it has been necessary to collapse EEG measures onto a single scalar using standard mediation methods.

We present a didactic introduction to spectral dynamic causal modeling (DCM), a Bayesian state-space modeling approach used to infer effective connectivity from noninvasive neuroimaging data. Spectral DCM is currently the most widely applied DCM variant for resting-state functional MRI analysis. Our aim is to explain its technical foundations to an audience with limited expertise in state-space modeling and spectral data analysis.
