Effects of Age and Sex on the Anorectal Sensory Threshold to Electrical Stimulation: A Single-center Observational Study. [PDF]
Objectives: Anorectal sensation is an essential component for maintaining normal defecation and continence. This study aimed to investigate changes in anorectal sensation with age and sex using the anorectal sensory threshold to electrical stimulation in

Point singularities and suprathreshold stochastic resonance in optimal coding [PDF]
Motivated by recent studies of population coding in theoretical neuroscience, we examine the optimality of a recently described form of stochastic resonance known as suprathreshold stochastic resonance, which occurs in populations of noisy threshold devices such as models of sensory neurons. Using the mutual information measure, it is shown numerically

Acids in brewed coffees: Chemical composition and sensory threshold. [PDF]
Coffee brewed on light, and very light-roast coffee beans have emerged as a recent trend among specialty coffee drinkers. The acidity of such light-roast coffee, and coffee in general, is an important sensory characteristic, as there is demonstrated a ...

Comparing intensities and modalities within the sensory attenuation paradigm: Preliminary evidence [PDF]
It is well-documented that the intensity of a self-generated somatosensory stimulus is perceived to be attenuated in respect to an identical stimulus generated by others.

Non-Anesthetized Mouse Model for Recording Sensory Urinary Bladder Activity [PDF]
The goal of this study was to develop an in vivo awake mouse model for extracellular bladder sensory nerve recording. A bipolar 125-µm silver electrode was positioned under a single postganglionic bladder nerve.
