Agreeable smellers and sensitive neurotics--correlations among personality traits and sensory thresholds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Correlations between personality traits and a wide range of sensory thresholds were examined. Participants (N = 124) completed a personality inventory (NEO-FFI) and underwent assessment of olfactory, trigeminal, tactile and gustatory detection thresholds,

Penile sensory thresholds in subtypes of premature ejaculation: implications of comorbid erectile dysfunction. [PDF]
Asian J Androl, 2018 Penile hypersensitivity plays an important role in premature ejaculation (PE), but differences in penile sensitivity among subtypes of PE are unknown. Therefore, we compared penile sensory thresholds in PE subtypes of lifelong and acquired PE, PE with ...

Age Differences in Orofacial Sensory Thresholds [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, 2010 Declines in sensory functioning with aging are evident for many of the senses. In the present study, thresholds were determined for somatosensory (warming and cooling temperature, pain, touch, and two-point discrimination) and taste stimuli in 178 healthy individuals aged 20-89 yrs.

Visual nudging of navigation strategies improves frequency discrimination during auditory-guided locomotion [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurosciencePerception in natural environments requires integrating multisensory inputs while navigating our surroundings. During locomotion, sensory cues such as vision and audition change coherently, providing crucial environmental information.

A Multimodal Assessment of Sensory Thresholds in Aging [PDF]
The Journals of Gerontology Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences, 1998 Young and elderly subjects yielded forced-choice detection thresholds in each of seven sensory tasks: (1) taste of sodium chloride, (2) smell of butanol, (3) cooling, (4) low-frequency vibrotaction, (5) high-frequency vibrotaction, (6) low-frequency hearing, and (7) high-frequency hearing.

Pain perception in autism. A study of sensory reactivity in children and adolescents with autism using quantitative sensory testing and psychophysiological correlates [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundHyper- or hypo-reactivity to sensory input is a diagnostic criterion for autism spectrum disorder; however, it is still not fully characterized, despite its relevance to patients' quality of life.

Efficient estimation of sensory thresholds [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, & Computers, 1986 Laboratory computers permit detection and discrimination thresholds to be measured rapidly, efficiently, and accurately. In this paper, the general natures of psychometric functions and of thresholds are reviewed, and various methods for estimating sensory thresholds are summarized.

The effects of nitrous oxide upon sensory thresholds [PDF]
Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1960 1. Sensory thresholds have been measured in human subjects while breathing 25 per cent nitrous oxide in oxygen. 2. Nitrous oxide produced a significant and sometimes dramatic increase in the thresholds for touch, skin pain, warmth, vision, and hearing. 3.

Food Research International, 2015 The existing methodologies for determining thresholds generate unreliable estimates of the point at which the intensity of a stimulus begins to compromise acceptance or result in sensory rejection of a product. Thus, a new methodology was proposed for determination of two new sensory thresholds: the compromised acceptance threshold (CAT) and the ...
