Using blind source separation techniques to improve speech recognition in bilateral cochlear implant patients
(Acoustical Society of America, 2008-06-05)Bilateral cochlear implants seek to restore the advantages of binaural hearing by improving access to binaural cues. Bilateral implant users are currently fitted with two processors, one in each ear, operating independent ... -
Multi-microphone adaptive noise reduction strategies for coordinated stimulation in bilateral cochlear implant devices
(Acoustical Society of America, 2010-02-05)Bilateral cochlear implant (BI-CI) recipients achieve high word recognition scores in quiet listening conditions. Still, there is a substantial drop in speech recognition performance when there is reverberation and more ... -
The impact of reverberant self-masking and overlap-masking effects on speech intelligibility by cochlear implant listeners (L)
(Acoustical Society of America, 2011-05-05)The purpose of this study is to determine the relative impact of reverberant self-masking and overlap-masking effects on speech intelligibility by cochlear implant listeners. Sentences were presented in two conditions ... -
A channel-selection criterion for suppressing reverberation in cochlear implants
(Acoustical Society of America, 2011-11-05)Little is known about the extent to which reverberation affects speech intelligibility by cochlear implant (CI) listeners. Experiment 1 assessed CI users’ performance using Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ... -
Effects of early and late reflections on intelligibility of reverberated speech by cochlear implant listeners
(Acoustical Society of America, 2013-12-05)The purpose of this study was to determine the overall impact of early and late reflections on the intelligibility of reverberated speech by cochlear implant listeners. Two specific reverberation times were assessed. For ... -
Binaural advantages in users of bimodal and bilateral cochlear implant devices
(Acoustical Society of America, 2013-12-05)This paper investigates to what extent users of bilateral and bimodal fittings should expect to benefit from all three different binaural advantages found to be present in normal-hearing listeners. Head-shadow and binaural ... -
Reducing the impact of wind noise on cochlear implant processors with two microphones
(Acoustical Society of America, 2014-04-02)Behind-the-ear (BTE) processors of cochlear implant (CI) devices offer little to almost no protection from wind noise in most incidence angles. To assess speech intelligibility, eight CI recipients were tested in 3 and ... -
Shifts of Effective Connectivity within a Language Network during Rhyming and Spelling
(Society for Neuroscience, 2005-06-01)We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine task-specific modulations of effective connectivity within a left-hemisphere language network during spelling and rhyming judgments on visually presented words. We ... -
Convergent genetic linkage and associations to language, speech and reading measures in families of probands with Specific Language Impairment
(BioMed Central, 2009-12-05)We analyzed genetic linkage and association of measures of language, speech and reading phenotypes to candidate regions in a single set of families ascertained for SLI. Sib-pair and family-based analyses were carried out ... -
Cerebellar-dependent delay eyeblink conditioning in adolescents with Specific Language Impairment
(BioMed Central, 2010-12-05)Cerebellar impairments have been hypothesized as part of the pathogenesis of Specific Language Impairment (SLI), although direct evidence of cerebellar involvement is sparse. Eyeblink Conditioning (EBC) is a learning task ... -
Frequency Modulation and Spatiotemporal Stability of the sCPG in Preterm Infants with RDS
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-05-29)The nonnutritive suck (NNS) is an observable and accessible motor behavior which is often used to make inference about brain development and pre-feeding skill in preterm and term infants. The purpose of this study was to ... -
Classification of intended phoneme production from chronic intracortical microelectrode recordings in speech-motor cortex
(Frontiers, 2011-05-12)We conducted a neurophysiological study of attempted speech production in a paralyzed human volunteer using chronic microelectrode recordings. The volunteer suffers from locked-in syndrome leaving him in a state of near-total ... -
Evaluating the Feasibility and Effects of the Complexity Account of Treatment Efficacy (CATE) for Joint Attention Intervention with Children with ASD
(University of Kansas, 2014-08-31)Much discussion in recent years has focused on the topic of Joint attention (JA) in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The literature demonstrates the crucial role of JA in developing social-communicative ... -

Assessing dynamics, spatial scale, and uncertainty in task-related brain network analyses
(Frontiers, 2014-03-19)The brain is a complex network of interconnected elements, whose interactions evolve dynamically in time to cooperatively perform specific functions. A common technique to probe these interactions involves multi-sensor ... -
A Look at Employment for Adults Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication
(University of Kansas, 2014-05-31)This research study examined employment for adults who use augmentative and alternate communication (AAC). A self-compiled, 54-question survey was created using SurveyMonkey and disseminated via listservs and social media. ... -
