Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Sudden, loud noises are one of the most common triggers for fearful behaviors in dogs, and many companion dogs suffer from noise sensitivity. Existing research focuses on dramatic infrequent sounds (e.g., thunderstorms, fireworks). Anecdotally, and based

Neuroanatomical substrate of noise sensitivity [PDF]
NeuroImage, 2018 Recent functional studies suggest that noise sensitivity, a trait describing attitudes towards noise and predicting noise annoyance, is associated with altered processing in the central auditory system. In the present work, we examined whether noise sensitivity could be related to the structural anatomy of auditory and limbic brain areas. Anatomical MR

Noise sensitivity in continuum percolation [PDF]
Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2014 We prove that the Poisson Boolean model, also known as the Gilbert disc model, is noise sensitive at criticality. This is the first such result for a Continuum Percolation model, and the first for which the critical probability p_c \ne 1/2. Our proof uses a version of the Benjamini-Kalai-Schramm Theorem for biased product measures.

Personality captures dissociations of subjective versus objective hearing in noise
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Acoustic noise is pervasive in human environments. Some individuals are more tolerant to noise than others. We demonstrate the explanatory potential of Big-5 personality traits neuroticism (being emotionally unstable) and extraversion (being enthusiastic,

Noise-equivalent sensitivity of photoacoustics [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2013 The fundamental limitations of photoacoustic microscopy for detecting optically absorbing molecules are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. We experimentally demonstrate noise-equivalent detection sensitivities of 160,000 methylene blue molecules (270 zeptomol or 2.7×10-19 mol) and 86,000 oxygenated hemoglobin molecules (140 zeptomol ...

Corn plants as temporary acoustic barrier to limit the effects of noise pollution
, 2021 Corn is a cereal imported into Europe from the Americas. It is used for human and animal feed, but there are also industrial uses such as the production of ethanol, of fuel for heating homes, or the production of starch. Corn grows in the summer in areas

Average Sensitivity and Noise Sensitivity of Polynomial Threshold Functions [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Computing, 2014 We give the first non-trivial upper bounds on the average sensitivity and noise sensitivity of degree-$d$ polynomial threshold functions (PTFs). These bounds hold both for PTFs over the Boolean hypercube and for PTFs over $\R^n$ under the standard $n$-dimensional Gaussian distribution.

Noise: towards a definition [PDF]
The research aims to explore the perceptual affects of noise on the relationship between performers, their instruments and listeners. The portfolio of compositions and accompanying thesis demonstrates the results of this treatment of sound and space ...
