Increasing evidence suggests that elevated neuronal and retinal background noise plays a prominent role in ADHD. However, the effect of treatment (e.g., methylphenidate) on noise remains unclear. For this study, retinal background noise was assessed with the pattern-electroretinogram (PERG) in ...
adding noise to the feet of people with vibrating insoles can improve balance performance in elderly adults. It also has applications for patients withdiabetes, those recovering fromstrokeand it may be used toaugment muscle
(Phys.org)—The research team working with the LIGO project has proposed that the data gleaned from the discovery of gravity waves last year allows for calculating the likely level of cosmic background noise due to gravitational waves, and that it is much greater than previous models have sugg...
"In the past, people thought that most of the spontaneous rhythms in the awake brain constitute random noise," Nestvogel said. "We still don't fully know their purpose, but we can now better predict these signals and see their effects on information processing and behavior." More information...
Results showed that medication significantly increased the acceptance of background noise for individuals with ADHD/ADD. Results also indicated that acceptance of noise depends on speech presentation level, but the improvement in acceptance of noise was not dependent on medication.Journal of the American...
We tested whether P50 and N100 suppression were influenced by the presence of the auditory background noise from the movie. N100 suppression was observed in both hemispheres in the silent movie condition and in the left hemisphere only during the audible movie condition, though suppression was ...
