Monitoring cavitation dynamics evolution in tissue mimicking hydrogels for repeated exposures via acoustic cavitation emissions

Scott C. Haskell, Ning Lu et al.

A 700 kHz histotripsy array is used to generate repeated cavitation events in agarose, gelatin, and polyacrylamide hydrogels. High-speed optical imaging, a broadband hydrophone, and the narrow-band ...

Timbral cues for learning to generalize musical instrument identity across pitch register

Stephen McAdams, Etienne Thoret et el.

Timbre provides an important cue to identify musical instruments. Many timbral attributes covary with other parameters like pitch. This study explores listeners' ability to construct categories ...

A perception-based study of the indoor and outdoor acoustic environments in India during the COVID-19 pandemic

A. Mimani, S. Nama

This work presents the results of a perception-based study of changes in the local soundscape at residences across India during the last 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic and their effects on ...

Why is the perceptual octave stretched? An account based on mismatched time constants within the auditory brainstem

Alain de Cheveigné

This paper suggests an explanation for listeners' greater tolerance to positive than negative mistuning of the higher tone within an octave pair. It hypothesizes a neural circuit tuned to ...

Neural processing of auditory temporal modulations in awake infants

Irene Lorenzini, Pierre Labendzki et al.

The amplitude modulation following response (AMFR) is the steady-state auditory response signaling phase-locking to slow variations in the amplitude (AM) of auditory stimuli that provide fundamental ...

Asymptotic behavior of resonant frequencies in resonant ultrasound spectroscopy

Farhad Farzbod, Casey M. Holycross

Resonance ultrasound spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique used to assess materials' elastic and anelastic properties. It involves measuring the frequencies of free vibrations in a carefully ...

Refining and extending measures for fricative spectra, with special attention to the high-frequency range

Christine H. Shadle, Wei-Rong Chen et al.

Fricatives have noise sources that are filtered by the vocal tract and that typically possess energy over a much broader range of frequencies than observed for vowels and sonorant consonants. This ...
