Objective Estimation of Sensory Thresholds Based on Neurophysiological Parameters [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Reliable determination of sensory thresholds is the holy grail of signal detection theory. However, there exists no assumption-independent gold standard for the estimation of thresholds based on neurophysiological parameters, although a reliable ...

Effects of Age and Sex on the Anorectal Sensory Threshold to Electrical Stimulation: A Single-center Observational Study

open access: goldJournal of the Anus, Rectum and Colon, 2023
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

Crossmodal integration improves sensory detection thresholds in the ferret. [PDF]

open access: greenPLoS ONE, 2015
During the last two decades ferrets (Mustela putorius) have been established as a highly efficient animal model in different fields in neuroscience. Here we asked whether ferrets integrate sensory information according to the same principles established ...

Deficits in Auditory and Visual Sensory Discrimination Reflect a Genetic Liability for Psychosis and Predict Disruptions in Global Cognitive Functioning

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
Sensory discrimination thresholds (i.e., the briefest stimulus that can be accurately perceived) can be measured using tablet-based auditory and visual sweep paradigms.

Sensory-specific impairment among older people. An investigation using both sensory thresholds and subjective measures across the five senses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Age-related sensory impairment is a slow and gradual progress, which affects multiple modalities. Two contradictory hypotheses exist about the age-related decline of sensory thresholds.

Age-Related Changes in the Perception of Emotions in Speech: Assessing Thresholds of Prosody and Semantics Recognition in Noise for Young and Older Adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Older adults process emotions in speech differently than do young adults. However, it is unclear whether these age-related changes impact all speech channels to the same extent, and whether they originate from a sensory or a cognitive source. The current

Effect of Directional Deep Brain Stimulation on Sensory Thresholds in Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
ObjectivePrevious studies showed that deep brain stimulation (DBS) relieves pain symptoms in Parkinson disease (PD) patients when programmed for motor-symptom relief. One factor involved in pain processing is sensory perception of stimuli.

Cross-sensory facilitation reveals neural interactions between visual and tactile motion in humans

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
Many recent studies show that the human brain integrates information across the different senses and that stimuli of one sensory modality can enhance the perception of other modalities.
