BACKGROUND Cognitive control refers to the ability to selectively attend and respond to task-relevant events while resisting interference from distracting stimuli or prepotent automatic responses. The current study aimed to determine whether interference suppression and response inhibition are separable component processes of cognitive control. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Fourteen young ad...

Interference suppression is one of the important functions for mobile communications and software radio. First, this paper shows a new type of interference suppression method by P-RCE (Probability-Restricted Coulomb Energy) which is applicable to mobile communications and software radio. P-RCE is one of the neural networks and mainly used in the field of pattern classification. Secondly, this p...

We recently reported three periods when single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the occipital pole impaired performance on a forced-choice visual letter-identification task. TMS-induced suppression during these periods is best explained by a blink-associated covering of the pupils and by a direct interference with letter-processing neural activity. We now report TMS-induced supp...

N-continuous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (NC-OFDM) was demonstrated to provide significant sidelobe suppression for baseband OFDM signals. However, it will introduce severe interference to the transmit signals. Hence in this letter, we specifically design a class of low-interference NC-OFDM schemes for alleviating the introduced interference. Meanwhile, we also obtain an asymptot...
