    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for identifying breathing patterns are disclosed herein. An example wearable device includes a sensor positioned to generate vibration signal data from a nasal bridge of a user, a breathing phase detector to identify a first and second breathing phases based on the vibration signal data, a phase timing calculator to calculate a first time period for the first breathing phase and a second time period for the second breathing phase, a breathing pattern detector to generate a breathing pattern metric based on the first and second time periods, a breathing activity detector to identify a breathing activity associated with the vibration signal data based on the breathing pattern metric, and an alert generator to activate an output device to generate at least one of an audible, tactile, or visual alert based on at least one of the breathing activity and a change associated with the breathing activity.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to enhance and audio signal. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to at least determine a first signal spectrum corresponding to a first microphone, the first signal spectrum identifying first audio, determine a second signal spectrum corresponding to a second microphone, the second signal spectrum identifying the first audio, the second spectrum different from the first spectrum, the first microphone different from the second microphone, the second signal spectrum having a first spectral distance to the first signal spectrum, calculate a mask based on the first and second signal spectrums, and generate a third signal spectrum corresponding to the first microphone utilizing the mask and the first signal spectrum, the third signal spectrum different from the first signal spectrum, the third signal spectrum having a second spectral distance to the second signal spectrum, the second spectral distance less than the first spectral distance.
