A method operates an apparatus for tinnitus characterization, in which, in a first step, a broadband test signal having a number of signal frequencies is generated and compared with a tinnitus noise. The respective test signal is stored with an associated comparison result. A probability correlation for determining the tinnitus noise is established based on the stored test signals and comparison results. In a second step, the amplitudes of the individual signal frequencies of the test signal are varied. The first and second steps are performed repeatedly until the probability correlation reaches or exceeds a first threshold value. In a third step, the amplitudes of the individual signal frequencies of the test signal are varied with reference to the probability correlation.

Systems and methods for automatically injecting effects in cyber-physical systems and their simulations are provided herein. In one example, the cyber-physical system under test can include one or more watch-point monitors that can analyze messages between components of the system to determine the presence of one or more particular patterns present in the messages being passed between components of the system during operation. In one or more examples, upon detection of one or more conditions matching a watch point, the systems and methods presented herein can activate an effect and inject it into the cyber-physical system under test based on the detected watch point. In one or more examples, the systems and methods can provide a domain-specific “effects language” (EL) that can allow a user to specify a watch point and an effect corresponding to the watch point.
