Abstract
Goal:
We validate a recent reverse correlation approach to tinnitus characterization by applying it to individuals with clinically-diagnosed tinnitus.
Methods:
Two tinnitus patients assessed the subjective similarity of their non-tonal tinnitus percepts and random auditory stimuli. Regression of the responses onto the stimuli yielded reconstructions which were evaluated qualitatively by playing back resynthesized waveforms to the subjects and quantitatively by response prediction analysis.
Results:
Subject 1 preferred their resynthesis to white noise; subject 2 did not. Response prediction balanced accuracies were significantly higher than chance across subjects: subject 1: 0.5963, subject 2: 0.6922.
Conclusion:
Reverse correlation can provide the foundation for reconstructing accurate representations of complex, non-tonal tinnitus in clinically diagnosed subjects. Further refinements may yield highly similar waveforms to individualized tinnitus percepts.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (IEEE OJEMB) is dedicated to serving the community of innovators in medicine, technology, and the sciences, with the core goal of advancing the highest-quality interdisciplinary research between these disciplines. The journal firmly believes that the future of medicine depends on close collaboration between biology and technology, and that fostering interaction between these fields is an important way to advance key discoveries that can improve clinical care.IEEE OJEMB is a gold open access journal in which the authors retain the copyright to their papers and readers have free access to the full text and PDFs on the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library. However, authors are required to pay an article processing fee at the time their paper is accepted for publication, using to cover the cost of publication.
