Methods and devices for comprising: obtaining an estimated heart rate training zone for a user; measuring the pulse rate of the user; and performing a plurality of computerized talk tests, such that a higher number of computerized talk tests are performed when the measured pulse rate is more in the vicinity of the estimated heart rate training zone than outside the vicinity of the estimated heart rate training zone. Other embodiments include devices for controlling an exercise program, comprising: an interface to an element configured to play auditory signals, and an interface to an element configured to record a user's speech in accordance with the auditory signals; wherein the device is configured to provide an indication upon identifying involuntary interruptions in the user's speech.

Methods and devices for executing a computerized talk test, comprising: following an exercise program; providing auditory signals from time to time; recording a user talking according to the auditory signals; analyzing the recordings to identify predefined properties; and providing an indication of the user's current heart rate training zone based on the analysis results. Other embodiments discuss a device configured to determine when a user approximately sustains a fixed level of physical effort and then execute a computerized talk test, and a device configured to identify a user's heart rate training zone based on identification of involuntary interruptions in the user's voice speech.

Methods and devices for stimulating the development of phonetic categories by an infant. The device includes a memory element operative to store auditory pieces comprising isolated phonemes in a voice similar to the voice of the infant's parent. The method includes the steps of recording the infant's parent pronouncing isolated phonemes, and playing to the infant auditory pieces comprising isolated phonemes based on the recordings of the infant's parent.

Methods and devices for stimulating an infant to develop additional phonetic categories, including: estimating the infant's development; and selecting an auditory piece appropriate to the estimated development. Wherein the auditory piece comprises isolated phonemes in the infant's parent's voice.
摘要:
Methods and devices for stimulating the development of phonetic categories by playing auditory pieces including isolated phonemes, including the steps of selecting the auditory pieces according to the infant's estimated development, and altering the selection when registering that the infant is ill. Other embodiments include receiving a measurement of the quantity of speech in the infant's vicinity and accordingly determining the auditory pieces to be played to the infant.

Methods and devices operative to play auditory pieces to an infant for stimulating the development of phonetic categories. Optionally, the device determines the auditory pieces to be played to the infant according to the age of the infant. The auditory pieces including isolated phonemes in the infant's parent's voice.
摘要:
Systems and methods for reducing the computational load of processing measurements of affective response of a user to content. A content emotional response analyzer (content ERA) receives a segment of content, analyzes it, and outputs an indication regarding whether a value related to a predicted emotional response to the segment reaches a predetermined threshold. Based on the indication, a controller selects a processing level, from among at least first and second processing levels, for a processor to process measurements of affective response. The first level may be selected when the value does not reach the predetermined threshold, while the second level may be selected when the value reaches it. The processor is configured to utilize significantly fewer computation cycles to process data operating at the first processing level, compared to the number of computation cycles it utilizes to process data operating at the second processing level.
