acoustic stimulus

The signal is never turned back into an acoustic stimulus, unlike a hearing aid.

Individuals use tactile, visual, and acoustic stimuli to communicate.

Both use acoustic stimuli delivered through inserts (preferably).

An acoustic stimulus produces a simultaneous change in conductance at the membrane of the receptor cell.

Comprehension is a similar process, with the general direction going in reverse; auditory structures are formed in response to acoustic stimuli in the environment.

Due to this mechanism, for example, incoming acoustic stimuli can be processed with astonishing speed as when comprehending spoken language or localizing moving sounds.

Acoustic stimuli are received by the auditive organ and are converted to bioelectric signals on the organ of Corti.

The frontal cortex is predominantly associated with attentional processing, but it may also be involved in pre-attentive processing of complex and/or salient acoustic stimuli.

Hyperekplexia ("exaggerated surprise") is a neurologic disorder classically characterised by pronounced startle responses to tactile or acoustic stimuli and hypertonia.

Neuroscientists have known for years that high-sensation seekers show augmented brain electrical responses on EEG's in response to increasing visual or acoustic stimuli.

Cochlear microphonic (CM) is an alternating current (AC) voltage that mirrors the waveform of the acoustic stimulus.

Multipolar cells are sensitive to changes in acoustic stimuli and in particular, onset and offset of sounds, as well as changes in intensity and frequency.

One year later, he joined the Argentine military, where he conducted research about the influence of electric and acoustic stimuli on the human body and set up a laboratory for veterinary vaccines.

Enriched acoustic stimulus within the frequency region of the hearing loss may prevent tonotopic reorganization in auditory cortex by compensating for the decrease in firing rate caused by the hearing impairment.

It is possible that the subject retained a single letter in the form of a visual representation of the acoustic stimulus and that he subsequently matched this representation against the visually presented probe stimulus.

The lateral shell projects to the external nucleus, where each space-specific neuron responds to acoustic stimuli only if the sound originates from a restricted area in space, i.e. the receptive field of that neuron.

An AC current flows through the hair bearing surface and this increase in the flow (or decrease in the resistance) has the same frequency as the BM movement, and hence, the acoustic stimulus frequency.

Normally, vibrations of the tympanic membrane (eardrum) elicited by acoustic stimuli are transmitted through the chain of ossicles (malleus, uncus, and stapes) in the middle ear to the oval window of the cochlea.

Using acoustic stimuli to activate the MOC reflex pathway, recordings have been made from single efferent fibres in guinea pigs (Robertson and Gummer, 1985) and cats (Liberman and Brown, 1986).

Tinnitus-the false perception of sound in the absence of an acoustic stimulus, a phantom noise-is one of the most common clinical syndromes in the U.S., affecting twelve per cent of men and almost fourteen per cent of women who.
