OBJECTIVE: We investigate the biometric specificity of the frequency following response (FFR), an EEG marker of early auditory processing that reflects phase-locked activity from neural ensembles in the auditory cortex and subcortex (Chandrasekaran a...

BACKGROUND: Cleft palate patients have inability to produce adequate velopharyngeal closure, which results in hypernasal speech. In clinic, hypernasal speech is assessed through subject assessment by speech language pathologists. Automatic hypernasal...

Childhood anxiety and depression often go undiagnosed. If left untreated these conditions, collectively known as internalizing disorders, are associated with long-term negative outcomes including substance abuse and increased risk for suicide. This p...
Technology that translates neural activity into speech would be transformative for people who are unable to communicate as a result of neurological impairments. Decoding speech from neural activity is challenging because speaking requires very precis...

BACKGROUND: Chinese word segmentation (CWS) and part-of-speech (POS) tagging are two fundamental tasks of Chinese text processing. They are usually preliminary steps for lots of Chinese natural language processing (NLP) tasks. There have been a large...
OBJECTIVE: Direct synthesis of speech from neural signals could provide a fast and natural way of communication to people with neurological diseases. Invasively-measured brain activity (electrocorticography; ECoG) supplies the necessary temporal and ...
We consider whether a deep neural network trained with raw MEG data can be used to predict the age of children performing a verb-generation task, a monosyllable speech-elicitation task, and a multi-syllabic speech-elicitation task. Furthermore, we ar...
In distributed speech recognition applications, the front-end device that stands for any handheld electronic device like smartphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) captures the speech signal, extracts the speech features, and then sends the s...
