Distortion-Product Otoacoustic Emissions as a Screening Tool for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss. [PDF]
, 2018 Noise-induced hearing loss includes both temporary (TTS) and permanent (PTS) threshold shifts. Although TTS and PTS have many similarities, their underlying mechanisms are different.

Investigation on reason of range profile distortion of plasma sheath target
The Journal of Engineering, 2019 The range profile of the plasma sheath target is always found to be distorted when using the linear frequency modulation signal as the radar detection signal. As a result, the detection and tracking of the target became hard, or even failure. Here, three

Energy Landscape Distortions and the Mechanical Unfolding of Proteins [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2005 Molecular simulations and an energy landscape analysis are used to examine the stretching of a model protein. A mapping of the energy landscape shows that stretching the protein causes energy minima and energy barriers to flatten out and disappear, and new energy minima to be created.

The Flashed Face Distortion Effect Does Not Depend on Face-Specific Mechanisms
Scientific Reports, 2019 When normal faces are rapidly presented in the visual periphery, they are perceived as grotesque and distorted. This phenomenon, “The flashed-face distortion effect” (FFDE) is a powerful illusion that may reveal important properties of how faces are ...

Inferred retinal mechanisms mediating illusory distortions
Visual Neuroscience, 2004 The Zoellner illusion is a geometric distortion occurring when nonorthogonal inducing lines appear to tilt veridically parallel bars. The retinal pathways contributing to such illusions are unknown. The goal of this experiment was to investigate the retinal origin of the illusion. This was accomplished by determining the contrast gain for illusion
