The negative affect hypothesis of noise sensitivity. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2015 Some studies indicate that noise sensitivity is explained by negative affect, a dispositional tendency to negatively evaluate situations and the self. Individuals high in such traits may report a greater sensitivity to other sensory stimuli, such as smell, bright light and pain. However, research investigating the relationship between noise sensitivity

Average Sensitivity and Noise Sensitivity of Polynomial Threshold Functions [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Computing, 2014 We give the first nontrivial upper bounds on the Boolean average sensitivity and noise sensitivity of degree-$d$ polynomial threshold functions (PTFs). Our bound on the Boolean average sensitivity of PTFs represents the first progress toward the resolution of a conjecture of Gotsman and Linial [Combinatorica, 14 (1994), pp.

Teachers’ Noise Sensitivity and Efforts to Prevent Noise Pollution in School [PDF]
Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2021 The noise phenomenon at school is one of the factors that may negatively affect school climate. Purpose In this study, the noise sensitivity and coping efforts of classroom teachers who intensely experienced noise phenomenon in their school were determined using basic qualitative research.

The development of the noise sensitivity questionnaire
Noise and Health, 2007 The existing questionnaires for determining the noise sensitivity of individuals provide information only about global noise sensitivity, although empirical data suggest that measuring noise sensitivity for different situations in daily life might be more logical. Therefore, the "Noise-Sensitivity-Questionnaire" (NoiSeQ) was developed to measure global

Noise sensitivity signatures for model selection [PDF]
Proceedings of the 12th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition (Cat. No.94CH3440-5), 2002 Presents a method for calculating the "noise sensitivity signature" of a learning algorithm which is based on scrambling the output classes of various fractions of the training data. This signature can be used to indicate a good (or bad) match between the complexity of the classifier and the complexity of the data and hence to improve the predictive ...

Characteristics of hyperacusis in the general population
Noise and Health, 2016 There is a need for better understanding of various characteristics in hyperacusis in the general population. The objectives of the present study were to investigate individuals in the general population with hyperacusis regarding demographics, lifestyle,

Cooperativity, Sensitivity, and Noise in Biochemical Signaling [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 Cooperative interactions among the binding of multiple signaling molecules is a common mechanism for enhancing the sensitivity of biological signaling systems. It is widely assumed that this increase in sensitivity of the mean response implies the ability to detect smaller signals.

The association of noise sensitivity with musical aptitude and everyday use of music [PDF]
, 2015 We aimed to study if noise sensitivity is associated with musical aptitude and everyday use of music. A total of 197 participants was recruited in Finland (N=91; 44 men, 47 women) and in Italy (N=106; 10 men, 96 women).
