Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 In complex acoustic environments, even salient supra-threshold sounds sometimes go unperceived, a phenomenon known as informational masking. The neural basis of informational masking (and its release) has not been well characterized, particularly outside

Adaptive Reverberation Absorption using Non-stationary Masking Components Detection for Intelligibility Improvement [PDF]
, 2019 This letter proposes a new time domain absorption approach designed to reduce masking components of speech signals under noisy-reverberant conditions. In this method, the non-stationarity of corrupted signal segments is used to detect masking distortions based on a defined threshold.

Central auditory masking by an illusory tone. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Many natural sounds fluctuate over time. The detectability of sounds in a sequence can be reduced by prior stimulation in a process known as forward masking.

Precedence effect for specular and diffuse reflections
Acta Acustica, 2021 Studies on the precedence effect are typically conducted by presenting two identical sounds simulating direct sound and specular reflection. However, when a sound is reflected from irregular surface, it is redirect into many directions resulting in ...

Depth of interocular suppression associated with continuous flash suppression, flash suppression, and binocular rivalry [PDF]
, 2006 When conflicting images are presented to the corresponding regions of the two eyes, only one image may be consciously perceived. In binocular rivalry (BR), two images alternate in phenomenal visibility; even a salient image is eventually suppressed by an

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

You Can Mask More For Extremely Low-Bitrate Image Compression [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Learned image compression (LIC) methods have experienced significant progress during recent years. However, these methods are primarily dedicated to optimizing the rate-distortion (R-D) performance at medium and high bitrates (> 0.1 bits per pixel (bpp)), while research on extremely low bitrates is limited.

Capacity limitations of visual memory in two-interval comparison of Gabor arrays [PDF]
, 2004 The capacity of short-term visual memory (VSTM) was assessed in a two-interval spatial frequency (SF) discrimination task. The cued Gabor target in a multi-element array either increased or decreased in SF across a 2s interstimulus interval (ISI ...

Neuromorphic Light‐Responsive Organic Matter for in Materia Reservoir Computing
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.In this work we show that light‐responsive adaptive organic matter can store and process information at the matter level, and emulate neuromorphic functionalities such as short term memory, long term memory and visual memory. Besides demonstrating that material dynamics can be exploited for spatio‐temporal event detection and motion perception, we show
