title: Energy distribution in the spectrograms of the cries of normal and birth asphyxiated infants.
abstract: This paper describes the distribution of energy and energy variance with frequency in the cries of normal and birth asphyxiated infants recorded within eight days of delivery. Single-variable statistical analysis suggested that asphyxiated infants have their cries shifted up in frequency compared to control infants, up to a frequency of 10 kHz.
