Electrophysiological approaches to noise sensitivity

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2016
Noise sensitivity describes an individual's general reactivity to sound. It is a common trait found in many clinical populations and describes approximately 20% of the general population. Little is known about its underlying mechanisms, however.Here we present findings from three studies designed to expose differences in electrophysiological measures ...

Road traffic noise, noise sensitivity and psychological disorder

Psychological Medicine, 1993
SynopsisThe relationship between traffic noise exposure and psychological morbidity was assessed using the population-based Caerphilly Collaborative Survey of 2398 men from Caerphilly, South Wales. The findings showed that traffic noise exposure levels were strongly associated with annoyance to noise.

Noise annoyance with regard to neurophysiological sensitivity, subjective noise sensitivity and personality variables

Psychological Medicine, 1988
SynopsisTo evaluate the relation between annoyance to environmental noise, general neurophysiological sensitivity, subjective noise sensitivity and other individual characteristics, experiments were undertaken in which 93 subjects assessed their subjective annoyance after exposure to noise under laboratory conditions.

Noise sensitivity: A neurophenomenological perspective

Medical Hypotheses, 2015
This paper addresses the current limitations of noise sensitivity research and the benefit of undertaking a neurophenomenological approach of investigation. It begins by questioning the invariance of noise sensitivity across different studies and contexts and argues that these are issues associated with the psychometric construct rather than the ...

NOISE-SENSITIVITY IN MACHINE TOOL VIBRATIONS

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2006
We consider the effect of random variation in the material parameters in a model for machine tool vibrations, specifically regenerative chatter. We show that fluctuations in these parameters appear as both multiplicative and additive noise in the model. We focus on the effect of additive noise in amplifying small vibrations which appear in subcritical

NOISE FIGURES, NOISE TEMPERATURES, AND SYSTEM SENSITIVITY

1961
Abstract : The definitions of terms used in systems noise work are presented, as well as general techniques of describing noise power resulting from both the source and the excess noise added by the network under consideration. A unique feature presented is a unified development of 7 noise temperatures encountered in this field, with tables showing the

Psychoacoustic correlates of individual noise sensitivity

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001
In environmental noise surveys, self-reported noise sensitivity, a stable personality trait covering attitudes toward a wide range of environmental sounds, is a major predictor of individual noise-annoyance reactions. Its relationship to basic measures of auditory functioning, however, has not been systematically explored.

Sensitivity, Noise and Resolution

2013
In this chapter we will develop models for calculating the noise, sensitivity and resolution of arbitrary piezoresistive sensors. Sensor resolution is defined as the smallest signal that can be reliably detected. The minimum detectable signal without averaging multiple trials is commonly equated to the root mean square (RMS) noise of the measurand ...

Aircraft Noise Exposure, Noise Sensitivity, and Everyday Errors

Environment and Behavior, 1986
The present study compared self-reports of everyday errors given by subjects who lived in an area with a high level of aircraft noise with those of a similar group who lived in an area with a low level of aircraft noise. The subjects were further subdivided into those who considered themselves to be highly sensitive to noise and those who had a lower ...
