Many speech recognition systems use logarithmic filter-bank energies or a linear transformation of them to represent the speech signal. Usually, each of those energies is routinely computed as a weighted average of the periodogram samples that lie in the corresponding frequency band. In this work, we attempt to gain an insight into the statistical properties of the frequency-averaged periodogram (FAP) from which those energies are samples. Thus, we have shown that the FAP is statistically and asymptotically equivalent to a multiwindow estimator that arises from the Thomson's optimization approach and uses orthogonal sinusoids as windows. The FAP and other multiwindow estimators are tested in a speech recognition application, observing the influence of several design factors. Particularly, a technique that is computationally simple like the FAP's one, and which is equivalent to use multiple cosine windows, appears as an alternative to be taken into consideration.
The Electroencephalographic signals are commonly used for developing brain-machine interfaces (BMI), in fact is the most used biological signal to translate brain's commands to the computer. Some additional physiological measures have been used along with EEG in order to obtain more robust and more accurate BMI systems. However, since very sophisticated recording devices are more available, signal processing is getting complicated, mainly due to the invested computational time in signal extraction and pattern recognition. Therefore, processing time in BMI could be too long, which is useless for some applications, for instance, devices used in rehabilitation engineering, or some robotic systems. In this paper, we propose a six commands recognition algorithm using only one EEG bipolar connection (O1-P3) in combination with bilateral electrooculographic signals. Our algorithm could identify these six commands based on simple temporal analysis with an average recognition accuracy of 97.1% for the selected sample of subjects. The average recognition time do not last more than 0.5 seconds after one of the events occurred.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
