Characterizing observers using external noise and observer models: assessing internal representations with external noise.
External noise methods and observer models have been widely used to characterize the intrinsic perceptual limitations of human observers and changes of the perceptual limitations associated with cognitive, developmental, and disease processes by highlighting the variance of internal representations. The authors conducted a comprehensive review of the 5 most prominent observer models through the...
متن کاملCharacterizing perceptual learning with external noise
Performance in perceptual tasks often improves with practice. This effect is known as ‘perceptual learning,’ and it has been the source of a great deal of interest and debate over the course of the last century. Here, we consider the effects of perceptual learning within the context of signal detection theory. According to signal detection theory, the improvements that take place with perceptua...
متن کاملCharacterizing perceptual performance at multiple discrimination precisions in external noise.
Existing observer models developed for studies with the external noise paradigm are strictly applicable only to target detection or identification/discrimination of orthogonal target(s). We elaborated the perceptual template model (PTM) to account for contrast thresholds in identifying nonorthogonal targets. Full contrast psychometric functions were measured in an orientation identification tas...
متن کاملExternal and internal noise surveys of London primary schools.
Internal and external noise surveys have been carried out around schools in London, UK, to provide information on typical levels and sources to which children are exposed while at school. Noise levels were measured outside 142 schools, in areas away from flight paths into major airports. Here 86% of the schools surveyed were exposed to noise from road traffic, the average external noise level o...
متن کاملControl of internal and external noise in genetic regulatory networks.
Positive and negative feedback loops, for example, where a protein regulates its own transcription, play an important role in many genetic regulatory networks. Such systems will be subject to internal noise, which occurs due to the small number of molecules taking part in some reactions. This paper examines the effect of feedback loops on noise levels. Error growth techniques from nonlinear dyn...
