The Negative Affect Hypothesis of Noise Sensitivity [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and 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

A Simultaneous and Continuous Excitation Method for High-Speed Electrical Impedance Tomography with Reduced Transients and Noise Sensitivity [PDF]
Sensors, 2018 This paper presents a concept for soft field tomographic scan of all the projections of electromagnetic waves emanating from an array of electrodes. Instead of the sequential excitation of all pairs of electrodes in the list of all projections, the new ...

On the noise sensitivity of monotone functions [PDF]
Random Structures & Algorithms, 2002 AbstractIt is known that for all monotone functions f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1}, if x ∈ {0, 1}n is chosen uniformly at random and y is obtained from x by flipping each of the bits of x independently with probability ϵ = n−α, then P[f(x) ≠ f(y)] < cn−α+1/2, for some c > 0.Previously, the best construction of monotone functions satisfying P[fn(x) ≠ fn(y)]

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,
