Masking visual stimuli by transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applied over the occipital pole can suppress visual perception. Since its first description in 1989 by Amassian et al., this technique has widely been used to investigate visual processing at the cortical level. This article presents a review of experiments masking visual stimuli by TMS. The psychophysical characterization of TMS masking, the dependence o...
متن کاملDegree Correlations Optimize Neuronal Network Sensitivity to Sub-Threshold Stimuli
Information processing in the brain crucially depends on the topology of the neuronal connections. We investigate how the topology influences the response of a population of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons to a stimulus. We devise a method to calculate firing rates from a self-consistent system of equations taking into account the degree distribution and degree correlations in the network. We ...
متن کاملA computer model of the auditory-nerve response to forward-masking stimuli.
A computer model of the auditory periphery is used to study the involvement of auditory-nerve (AN) adaptation in forward-masking effects. An existing model is shown to simulate published AN recovery functions both qualitatively and quantitatively after appropriate parameter adjustments. It also simulates published data showing only small threshold shifts when a psychophysical forward-masking pa...
متن کاملA locally adaptive perceptual masking threshold model for image coding
This project involved designing, implementing, and testing of a locally adaptive perceptual masking threshold model for image compression. This model computes, based on the contents of the original images, the maximum amount of noise energy that can be injected at each transform coefficient that results in perceptually distortion-free still images or sequences of images. The adaptive perceptual...
متن کاملIpsilateral masking between acoustic and electric stimulations.
Residual acoustic hearing can be preserved in the same ear following cochlear implantation with minimally traumatic surgical techniques and short-electrode arrays. The combined electric-acoustic stimulation significantly improves cochlear implant performance, particularly speech recognition in noise. The present study measures simultaneous masking by electric pulses on acoustic pure tones, or v...
