Hearing

57.4K
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Antiepileptic Drugs: Modulators of Neurotransmitter Release Mediated by SV2A Protein01:20

Antiepileptic Drugs: Modulators of Neurotransmitter Release Mediated by SV2A Protein

922
Antiepileptic drugs, such as levetiracetam (Keppra) and brivaracetam (Briviact), have emerged as crucial tools in managing epilepsy. These medications exert their therapeutic effects by targeting the synaptic vesicle protein SV2A, a transmembrane glycoprotein primarily found in the brain.
SV2A is a transmembrane glycoprotein located predominantly in the brain, modulating the release of neurotransmitters for neuronal communication. Both levetiracetam and brivaracetam exhibit a high affinity for...

The Fossil Record02:56

The Fossil Record

27.5K
The fossil record documents only a small fraction of all organisms that have ever inhabited Earth. Fossilization is a rare process, and most organisms never become fossils. Moreover, the fossil record only exhibits fossils that have been discovered. Nevertheless, sedimentary rock fossils of long-lived, abundant, hard-bodied organisms dominate the fossil record. These fossils offer valuable information, such as an organism's physical form, behavior, and age. Studying the fossil record helps...

Internal Receptors01:31

Internal Receptors

74.7K
Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions01:58

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

8.8K
Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

37.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Summary

High-intensity speech glimpses and amplitude modulation (AM) are crucial for speech recognition in noisy environments. Competing noise characteristics interact with speech glimpse levels, significantly impacting overall understanding.

Area of Science:

  • Auditory Neuroscience
  • Speech Perception
  • Acoustic Signal Processing

Background:

  • Everyday listening often involves speech masked by competing sounds, like other talkers.
  • Temporal speech glimpses at favorable signal-to-noise ratios during masker amplitude dips can aid recognition.
  • The characteristics of the masking noise, especially when dominant, also influence speech intelligibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of speech glimpse intensity and noise modulation on speech recognition.
  • To determine how noise properties (level, amplitude modulation) interact with speech glimpse characteristics.
  • To elucidate the acoustic factors in both speech-dominated and noise-dominated segments that affect speech intelligibility.

Main Methods:

  • Speech was interrupted to create high- or low-intensity glimpses, derived from speech-on-speech masking.
  • Interrupted intervals were filled with steady-state or amplitude-modulated (AM) noise, matched or mismatched to speech modulation.
  • Noise was presented at two intensity levels, and interruption by silence was also tested.

Main Results:

  • Speech recognition was optimal with high-intensity speech glimpses.
  • Recognition improved when noise modulation mirrored the amplitude modulation (AM) of the missing speech segments.
  • Significant interactions were observed between noise level and speech glimpse level, highlighting complex acoustic influences.

Conclusions:

  • High-intensity speech segments and their amplitude modulation (AM) are critical for robust speech recognition.
  • Competing noise characteristics, including level and AM, significantly modulate the benefit derived from speech glimpses.
  • Speech recognition in challenging acoustic environments depends on the interplay between the acoustic properties of both speech and noise segments.
