TOUCH PERCEPTIONS ACROSS SKIN SITES: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SENSITIVITY, DIRECTION DISCRIMINATION AND PLEASANTNESS

Touch perceptions across skin sites: differences between sensitivity, direction discrimination and pleasantness

Human skin is innervated with different tactile afferents over the body, which are found at varying densities.We investigate how the relationships between tactile pleasantness, sensitivity and discrimination differ across the skin.Tactile pleasantness was assessed by stroking a soft brush over the skin, using five velocities (0.3, 1, 3, Dredgers 10

Att-TasNet: Attending to Encodings in Time-Domain Audio Speech Separation of Noisy, Reverberant Speech Mixtures

Separation of speech mixtures in noisy and reverberant environments remains a challenging task for state-of-the-art speech separation systems.Time-domain audio speech separation networks (TasNets) are among the most commonly used network architectures for this task.TasNet models have demonstrated strong performance on typical speech separation base
