  • Patent number: 9848791
    Abstract: A neural analysis system, including: a neural event extractor for generating Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data for background and initial response segments obtained from a person; a correlator for correlating the Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data with pathology data for a condition, and generating biomarker data points for axes of a biomarker display; and a display module for providing display data to generate the display with the points for use in assessing the person relative to the condition.

  • Publication number: 20100274554
    Abstract: A speech analysis system, including a kurtosis module for processing a coded sound signal to generate kurtosis measure data; a wavelet module for processing the coded sound signal to generate wavelet coefficients; and a classification module for processing the wavelet coefficients and the kurtosis measure data to generate label data representing a classification for the coded sound signal. The sound signal is classified as environmental noise, silence, speech from a single speaker, speech from multiple speakers, speech from a single speaker plus environmental noise, or speech from multiple speakers plus environmental noise. Speech is further classified as voiced or unvoiced.
