Basilar-membrane nonlinearity estimated by pulsation threshold.
The pulsation threshold technique was used to estimate the basilar-membrane (BM) response to a tone at characteristic frequency (CF). A pure-tone signal was alternated with a pure-tone masker. The frequency of the masker was 0.6 times that of the signal. For signal levels from around 20 dB above absolute threshold to 85 dB SPL, the masker level was varied to find the level at which a transition...
متن کاملUnbiased Blind Separation Using the Threshold Nonlinearity
The stability analysis of blind signal separation algorithms using the threshold nonlinearity is extended to discrete distributions, such as used in digital communication systems. Conditions for the threshold parameter are derived. An extension to the standard algorithm mitigates separation coefficient bias, which is introduced by additive noise at the sensors. Simulations quantify the improvem...
متن کاملImproved Surrogate Data for Nonlinearity Tests.
Current tests for nonlinearity compare a time series to the null hypothesis of a Gaussian linear stochastic process. For this restricted null assumption, random surrogates can be constructed which are constrained by the linear properties of the data. We propose a more general null hypothesis allowing for nonlinear rescalings of a Gaussian linear process. We show that such rescalings cannot be a...
متن کاملAn inherent nonlinearity in near-threshold contrast detection.
We measured an essentially normal pedestal effect using stationary gaussian targets and slowly moving pedestal gratings. Since these conditions greatly reduce the information provided by the pedestal, we question whether uncertainty about the stimulus can be the main cause of the pedestal effect.
متن کاملOptical nonlinearity in Ar and N2 near the ionization threshold.
We directly measure the nonlinear optical response in argon and nitrogen in a thin gas target to laser intensities near the ionization threshold. No instantaneous negative nonlinear refractive index is observed, nor is saturation, in contrast with a previous measurement [Opt. Express 17, 13429 (2009)] and calculations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 183902 (2011)]. In addition, we are able to cleanly se...
