Systemic inflammation decreases pain threshold in humans in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Hyperalgesia is a well recognized hallmark of disease. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have been suggested to be mainly responsible, but human data are scarce.

Visual distortion of body size modulates pain perception [PDF]
, 2011 Pain is a complex subjective experience, that can be shaped by several cognitive, psychological and even contextual variables. For example, simply viewing the body reduces the reported intensity of acute physical pain.

Stimulus-specific mechanisms of visual short-term memory [PDF]
, 1991 The retention of spatial information in visual short-term memory was assessed by measuring spatial frequency discrimination thresholds with a two-interval forced-choice task varying the time interval between the two gratings to be compared. The memory of

Dynamics of oculomotor direction discrimination [PDF]
, 2016 Successful foveation of a dynamic target depends on good predictions of its movement direction and speed. We measured and compared the temporal dynamics of directional precision of both saccades and smooth pursuit and their interactions. We also compared

Evidence for Reduced Sensory Precision and Increased Reliance on Priors in Hallucination-Prone Individuals in a General Population Sample [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 There is increasing evidence that people with hallucinations overweight perceptual beliefs relative to incoming sensory evidence. Much past work demonstrating prior overweighting has used simple, non-linguistic stimuli. However, auditory hallucinations in psychosis are often complex and linguistic.

Disturbances in Influence of a Shepherding Agent is More Impactful than Sensorial Noise During Swarm Guidance [PDF]
, 2020 The guidance of a large swarm is a challenging control problem. Shepherding offers one approach to guide a large swarm using a few shepherding agents (sheepdogs). While noise is an inherent characteristic in many real-world problems, the impact of noise on shepherding is not a well-studied problem. We study two forms of noise.

Baroreceptor stimulation: Pain perception and sensory thresholds [PDF]
Biological Psychology, 1994 Baroreceptor activity has been implicated in the modulation of pain. Sensory detection thresholds and pain ratings were measured in a group of 28 men during carotid baroreceptor manipulation with the PRES (phase-related external suction) neck suction technique.

The emergence of a collective sensory response threshold in ant colonies [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 The sensory response threshold is a fundamental biophysical property of biological systems that underlies many physiological and computational functions, and its systematic study has played a pivotal role in uncovering the principles of biological computation.
