The reshaping and decorrelation of similar activity patterns by neuronal networks can enhance their discriminability, storage, and retrieval. How can such networks learn to decorrelate new complex patterns, as they arise in the olfactory…
Eavesdropping from the user's smartphone is a well-known threat to the user's safety and privacy. Existing studies show that loudspeaker reverberation can inject speech into motion sensor readings, leading to speech eavesdropping. While…
Livestock feeding behaviour is an influential research area for those involved in animal husbandry and agriculture. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in automated systems for monitoring the behaviour of ruminants. Despite…
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by food products are considered markers for assessing quality of food. In this work, first-principles Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) methods have been…
Olfactory receptor usage is highly heterogeneous, with some receptor types being orders of magnitude more abundant than others. We propose an explanation for this striking fact: the receptor distribution is tuned to maximally represent…
One of the interests of modern poultry farming is the vocalization of laying hens which contain very useful information on health behavior. This information is used as health and well-being indicators that help breeders better monitor…
In the principal cells of the insect mushroom body, the Kenyon cells (KC), olfactory information is represented by a spatially and temporally sparse code. Each odor stimulus will activate only a small portion of neurons and each stimulus…
Human beings have developed fantastic abilities to integrate information from various sensory sources exploring their inherent complementarity. Perceptual capabilities are therefore heightened, enabling, for instance, the well-known…
Speech emotion recognition (SER) is essential for humanoid robot tasks such as social robotic interactions and robotic psychological diagnosis, where interpretable and efficient models are critical for safety and performance. Existing deep…
We present a semi-analytical geometrical acoustics method to numerically simulate ultrasonic signal characteristics pertinent to motion sensing applications in indoor environments. The proposed methodology treats motion sensing from the…
While olfaction is central to how animals perceive the world, this rich chemical sensory modality remains largely inaccessible to machines. One key bottleneck is the lack of diverse, multimodal olfactory training data collected in natural…
Echolocation is the prime sensing modality for many species of bats, who show the intricate ability to perform a plethora of tasks in complex and unstructured environments. Understanding this exceptional feat of sensorimotor interaction is…
Research into automated systems for detecting and classifying marine mammals in acoustic recordings is expanding internationally due to the necessity to analyze large collections of data for conservation purposes. In this work, we present a…
Benefitting from UAVs' characteristics of flexible deployment and controllable movement in 3D space, odor source localization with multiple UAVs has been a hot research area in recent years. Considering the limited resources and…
Deciphering the acoustic language of chickens offers new opportunities in animal welfare and ecological informatics. Their subtle vocal signals encode health conditions, emotional states, and dynamic interactions within ecosystems.…
Underwater acoustic monitoring systems record many hours of audio data for marine research, making fast and reliable non-causal signal detection paramount. Such detectors assist in reducing the amount of labor required for signal…
We explore the integration of multisensory elements in virtual reality reconstructions of historical spaces through a case study of the Virtual Vauxhall Gardens project. While visual and auditory components have become standard in digital…
Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) navigate underwater with a series of impulsive, click-like sounds known as echolocation clicks. These clicks are characterized by a multipulse structure (MPS) that serves as a distinctive pattern. In…
Paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is clinically significant yet difficult to diagnose, as children poorly tolerate sensor-based polysomnography. Acoustic monitoring provides a non-invasive alternative for home-based OSA screening,…
Background: Tinnitus, defined as the conscious awareness of a noise without any identifiable corresponding external acoustic source, can be modulated by various factors. Among these factors, tinnitus patients commonly report drastic…
