7. Hearing Aid

8. In a further stage of signal processing in hearing aid,
the amplitude-range may be compressed. Hence, the gain of the system is
progressively reduced when the sound-volume exceeds a specified level, as is
the case near the end of this recording. A small delay in adapting the gain to
the signal-levels may also be added, as the average of the most recent
amplitudes drives the gain control.

9.  The two basic, non-invasive, brain signals are the EEG.
 Both find use in routine neuro-physiological evaluation, for e.g. diagnosis
and following the development of brain diseases, and in monitoring
anaesthetised patients during medical operations.
 The EEG is the electrical activity of the brain and may contain diagnostic
information for a variety of neurological conditions, such as sleep disorders,
and coma.
 They are often described by the frequency band in which they lie ( e.g alpha
rhythm, beta activity, delta waves), and by their amplitude, and the pattern
of distribution on the scalp.
Brain signals – electroencephalogram

10. 4 second excerpt from as EEG

11.  The characteristics of the EEG vary considerably with the state of the
patient, e.g whether the patient's eyes are open or closed, whether
the patient is drowsy, soundly asleep, asleep and dreaming.
 The EEG lends itself to time and frequency analysis.

12. Segment of the original EEG signal (solid line), and the same signal
reconstructed from only its DFT components in the α frequency band
(dotted line). The oscillation in the frequency band of 8-13 Hz is
enhanced. The slow change during the artefact in the EEG signal around
29.5 s is eliminated, as are some of the faster variations (higher
frequency beta activity, and noise ) seen in the raw data.

13.  Spectral estimation: Spectral estimation helps in finding the pulse
rhythms present in the EEG signal. The short segment of EEG data is
analyzed for spectral parameters such as location and amount of
spectral energy. Wave-shaping filters are extensively used in this
technique. Wave shaping filters produce desired output signal for
given input signal.
 ARMA (autoregressive moving average) method: This model is
suggested for modelling signals with sharp peaks and valleys in their
frequency content and also signals with severe background noise.

14. Frequency response |f(H)| of a second-order Butterworth band-pass filter,
with cut-off frequencies at 8 and 13 Hz. This filter will preserve activity in
the alpha frequency band, while attenuating other frequency bands.

15. Using and IIR filter with coefficients a=[1 -7.43 24.44 -46.33 55.38 -42.75
20.82 -5.84 0.72] and b =10-4 [0.12 0 -0.48 0 0.720 -0.48 0 0.12], very rapid
change and slow variations are eliminated, and only the signal
components in the alpha frequency band are maintained.
An IIR filter is used
to enhance the
alpha activity in
an EEG signal that
contains mains
interference (50
Hz), and noise.

16.  A blood pressure (BP) signal contains clinically relevant components
up to about 20 Hz.
 The signal is contaminated by noise at the mains frequency (50 Hz)
and other noise (mainly below 50 Hz) may also be present
 Thus the sampling rate has to be above 100Hz, as the highest
frequency present is 50 Hz.
 If the noise (mains interference) is removed prior to sampling, by a
low-pass (anti-alias) filter with a cut-off frequency at say 20 Hz, the
sampling rate could be reduced to a value above 40 Hz, without
significant aliasing occurring.

17. The power spectrum of this signal, sampled at 67 Hz. Without the anti-alias filter
(dotted lines), the 50 Hz noise is aliased, and appears as a very large peak at 17 Hz (67-
50 Hz). With the anti-alias filter (solid line), this peak is very much reduced (though not
eliminated, due to the imperfection of the filter), and can be considered insignificant.
