It has been shown that light speckle fluctuations provide a means for noninvasive measurements of cerebral blood flow index (CBFi). While conventional Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) provides marginal brain sensitivity for CBFi in…
Sound source localisation is used in many consumer devices, to isolate audio from individual speakers and reject noise. Localization is frequently accomplished by ``beamforming'', which combines phase-shifted audio streams to increase power…
Speech is a cost-effective and non-intrusive data source for identifying acute and chronic heart failure (HF). However, there is a lack of research on whether Chinese syllables contain HF-related information, as observed in other…
