Robust Multicomponent Tracking of Ultrasonic Vocalizations

Ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) convey information about individual identity and arousal status in mice. We propose to track USV as ridges in the time–frequency domain via a variant of time– frequency reassignment (TFR). The key idea is to perform TFR with empirical Wiener shrinkage and multitapering…
