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

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,

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 Noisiness in the working environment was largely proved to have effects on the working activity and performance. To limit the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first wave between March and May 2020, Italian workers had massively started ...

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-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 ...

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.

On the decline of 1st and 2nd order sensitivity with eccentricity [PDF]
, 2008 We studied the relationship between the decline in sensitivity that occurs with eccentricity for stimuli of different spatial scale defined by either luminance (LM) or contrast (CM) modulation.
