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

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

Effect of Directional Deep Brain Stimulation on Sensory Thresholds in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Frontiers 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.

1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) Sensory Thresholds in Riesling Wine [PDF]
Foods, 2020 1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) is an aroma compound responsible for the kerosene/petrol notes in Riesling wines. In the current article, three sensory thresholds for TDN were determined in young Riesling wine: detection threshold (about 4 ...

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.

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,

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.

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

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 ...
