Two prominent strategies that the human visual system uses to reduce incoming information are spatial integration and selective attention. Although spatial integration summarizes and combines information over the visual field, selective…
This paper addresses the issue of cough detection using only audio recordings, with the ultimate goal of quantifying and qualifying the degree of pathology for patients suffering from respiratory diseases, notably mucoviscidosis. A large…
In ski jumping, low repetition rates of jumps limit the effectiveness of training. Thus, increasing learning rate within every single jump is key to success. A critical element of athlete training is motor learning, which has been shown to…
This paper presents an indoor occupancy estimator with which we can estimate the number of real-time indoor occupants based on the carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement. The estimator is actually a dynamic model of the occupancy level. To…
Monitoring drivers' mental workload facilitates initiating and maintaining safe interactions with in-vehicle information systems, and thus delivers adaptive human machine interaction with reduced impact on the primary task of driving. In…
Respiratory diseases remain major global health challenges, and traditional auscultation is often limited by subjectivity, environmental noise, and inter-clinician variability. This study presents an explainable multimodal deep learning…
Cloud platforms have been focusing on reducing their carbon emissions by shifting workloads across time and locations to when and where low-carbon energy is available. Despite the prominence of this idea, prior work has only quantified the…
Speech intelligibility can be affected by multiple factors, such as noisy environments, channel distortions or physiological issues. In this work, we deal with the problem of automatic prediction of the speech intelligibility level in this…
Understanding physiological responses during running is critical for performance optimization, tailored training prescriptions, and athlete health management. We introduce a comprehensive framework -- what we believe to be the first capable…
The intrinsic dynamics and event-driven nature of spiking neural networks (SNNs) make them excel in processing temporal information by naturally utilizing embedded time sequences as time steps. Recent studies adopting this approach have…
The human brain is ultimately responsible for all thoughts and movements that the body produces. This allows humans to successfully interact with their environment. If the brain is not functioning properly many abilities of human can be…
We present an automatic non-invasive way of detecting cough events based on both accelerometer and audio signals. The acceleration signals are captured by a smartphone firmly attached to the patient's bed, using its integrated…
Mental disorders (MD) are among the top most demanding challenges in world-wide health. According to the World Health Organization, the burden of MDs continues to grow with significant impact on health and major social and human rights. A…
Topological data analyses are rapidly turning into key tools for quantifying large volumes of neurobiological data, e.g., for organizing the spiking outputs of large neuronal ensembles and thus gaining insights into the information produced…
Untapped potential for new forms of human-to-human communication can be found in the active research field of studies on the decoding of brain signals of human speech. A brain-computer interface system can be implemented using…
The range of potential applications of acoustic analysis is wide. Classification of sounds, in particular, is a typical machine learning task that received a lot of attention in recent years. The most common approaches to sound…
In our research, we attempt to help people recognize their brain state of concentration or relaxation more conveniently and in real time. Considering the inconvenience of wearing traditional multiple electrode electroencephalographs, we…
Working memory is a cognitive function involving the storage and manipulation of latent information over brief intervals of time, thus making it crucial for context-dependent computation. Here, we use a top-down modeling approach to examine…
Non-intrusive speech quality assessment is a crucial operation in multimedia applications. The scarcity of annotated data and the lack of a reference signal represent some of the main challenges for designing efficient quality assessment…
Drawing inspiration from the notion of cognitive incongruence associated with Stroop's famous experiment, from musical principles, and from the observation that music consumption on an individual basis is becoming increasingly ubiquitous,…
