Congruency sequence effects and previous response times: conflict adaptation or temporal learning? [PDF]

, 2016
In the present study, we followed up on a recent report of two experiments in which the congruency sequence effect-the reduction of the congruency effect after incongruent relative to congruent trials in Stroop-like tasks-was observed without feature ...

Femtosecond laser ablation-ICP-mass spectrometry analysis of a heavy metallic matrix : determination of platinum group metals and gold in lead fire-assay buttons as a case study [PDF]

, 2010
Owing to the shorter time interval during which energy is delivered to the sample material, femtosecond (fs) laser ablation is preferable over nanosecond laser ablation for metallic samples. In this project, the influence of various laser parameters-beam

Long-time Low-latency Quantum Memory by Dynamical Decoupling [PDF]

, 2013
Quantum memory is a central component for quantum information processing devices, and will be required to provide high-fidelity storage of arbitrary states, long storage times and small access latencies.

Experimental investigation of the impact of optical injection on vital parameters of a gain-switched pulse source [PDF]

, 2007
An analysis of optical injection on a gain-switched distributed feedback (DFB) laser and its impact on pulse parameters that influence the performance of the pulse source in high-speed optical communication systems is presented in this paper.

Single-exposure visual memory judgments are reflected in inferotemporal cortex

eLife, 2018
Our visual memory percepts of whether we have encountered specific objects or scenes before are hypothesized to manifest as decrements in neural responses in inferotemporal cortex (IT) with stimulus repetition.

Repetition suppression in aging: A near-infrared spectroscopy study on the size-congruity effect

NeuroImage, 2017
Age-related changes in the hemodynamic response regarding inhibition capacity and repetition suppression were examined using a modified version of the numerical Stroop task.

Repetition enhancement and perceptual processing of visual word form

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
The current study investigated the cerebral basis of word perceptual repetition priming with fMRI during a letter detection task that manipulated the familiarity of perceptual word form and the number of repetitions.

Predictability engenders more efficient neural responses [PDF]

, 2009
The neural response to a stimulus diminishes with repeated presentations, a phenomenon known as repetition suppression. We here use neuroimaging to demonstrate that repetition suppression appears to be a special case of "prediction suppression"-

An ultra-sensitive pulsed balanced homodyne detector: Application to time-domain quantum measurements

, 2001
A pulsed balanced homodyne detector has been developed for precise measurements of electric field quadratures of pulsed optical quantum states. A high level of common mode suppression (> 85 dB) and low electronic noise (730 electrons per pulse) provide a
