Abstract
High resolution time-frequency analysis of OAE signals evoked by stimuli of different strength was performed by means of the Matching Pursuit algorithm. The method relies on adaptive decomposition of a signal into waveforms of well-defined frequency and time localization. Energy of OAE as a function of time and frequency was evaluated for stimuli strength of 35–80 dB SPL. Dynamic characteristics of the signal were constructed. For strong stimuli decrease of the power of high frequency components was found. Matching Pursuit proved to be a method which offers high resolution parametrisation of OAE in time-frequency space and provides excellent possibilities of investigation of the signal generation mechanisms.
