Performance analysis of deep neural networks for direction of arrival estimation of multiple sources by Min Chen, Xingpeng Mao, Xiuhong Wang

“…The classical DOA estimation algorithms have limitations due to unforeseen effects, such as array perturbations. Instead of computing an inverse mapping based on the incomplete forward mapping that relates the signal directions to the array outputs, the DOA problem is approached as a mapping, which can be approximated using a suitable DNN trained with input output pairs. …”

Using musical pitch interval comparisons to assess cochlear implant frequency-to-place maps by Rebecca M. Lewis, Melanie L. Gilbert, Jordan A. Beim, Andrew J. Oxenham, Charles J. Limb

“…IntroductionMusic perception remains challenging for many cochlear implant (CI) recipients, due perhaps in part to a frequency mismatch that can occur between the original tonotopic cochlear map and the allocation of frequencies along the electrode array that occurs during programming. Individual differences in ear anatomy, electrode array length, and surgical insertion can lead to great variability in the positions of electrodes within the cochlea, but these differences are not typically accounted for by current CI programming techniques.ObjectivesFlat panel computed tomography (FPCT) can be used to visualize the location of the electrodes and calculate the corresponding spiral ganglion characteristic frequencies. …”

Optoplasmonics of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Thin Films by Chandra Mani Adhikari

“…Taking an example of the planar periodic arrangement of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) TD films, we semi-analytically calculated their dynamical conductivities and dielectric responses as a function of the incident photon frequency and the SWCNT’s radius using the many-particles Green’s function formalism within the Matsubara frequency technique. The periodic array of SWCNTs has an anisotropic dielectric response, which is almost a constant and the same as that of the host dielectric medium in the perpendicular direction of the alignment of the SWCNT array due to the depolarization effect that SWCNTs have. …”
