Will do a proper #FieldDiary tomorrow but suffice to say, today went even better than hoped. Instruments behaved, weather cooperated our local hunter friend got us smoothly into the field. Looking forward to seeing what it all means now...

Application of Whisper in Clinical Practice: the Post-Stroke Speech Assessment during a Naming Task
Detailed assessment of language impairment following stroke remains a cognitively complex and clinician-intensive task, limiting timely and scalable diagnosis. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) foundation models offer a promising pathway to augment human evaluation through intelligent systems, but their effectiveness in the context of speech and language impairment remains uncertain. In this study, we evaluate whether Whisper, a state-of-the-art ASR foundation model, can be applied to transcri…

A Robust Method for Pitch Tracking in the Frequency Following Response using Harmonic Amplitude Summation Filterbank
The Frequency Following Response (FFR) reflects the brain's neural encoding of auditory stimuli including speech. Because the fundamental frequency (F0), a physical correlate of pitch, is one of the essential features of speech, there has been particular interest in characterizing the FFR at F0, especially when F0 varies over time. The standard method for extracting F0 in FFRs has been the Autocorrelation Function (ACF). This paper investigates harmonic-structure-based F0 estimation algorithms,…

On Gyárfás' Path-Colour Problem
In their 1997 paper titled ``Fruit Salad", Gyárfás posed the following conjecture: there exists a constant $k$ such that if each path of a graph spans a $3$-colourable subgraph, then the graph is $k$-colourable. It is noted that $k=4$ might suffice. Let $r(G)$ be the maximum chromatic number of any subgraph $H$ of $G$ where $H$ is spanned by a path. The only progress on this conjecture comes from Randerath and Schiermeyer in 2002, who proved that if $G$ is an $n$ vertex graph, then $χ(G) \le…
