Vibrotactile temporal summation: probability summation or neural integration?
Temporal summation, a decrease in the detection threshold that occurs when either the duration of a stimulus or the number of stimuli in a sequence is increased, has been attributed to the operations of either the mechanism of neural integration or of probability summation. Our experiments indicate that under certain conditions, both mechanisms may operate, but that the process of neural integr...
متن کاملModeling Temporal Effects of Spectral Loudness Summation
Recent studies have shown that spectral loudness summation depends on duration. Modifications of a current loudness model were investigated with respect to their ability to predict this effect. The original version of the model could not simulate the duration dependence of spectral loudness summation. To reconcile the model with the loudness data, three different mechanisms accentuating tempora...
متن کاملSpatial summation of vibrotactile sensations at the foot.
Thresholds for the perception of vibration on the hand reduce with increasing area of excitation when the thresholds are mediated by the Pacinian channel (a phenomenon known as spatial summation) but thresholds are generally independent of the area of excitation when they are mediated by non-Pacinian channels. The effect of the area of excitation on vibrotactile thresholds at the sole of the fo...
متن کاملTemporal summation during extradural anaesthesia.
We have investigated in 10 patients the effect of extradural anaesthesia on temporal summation by comparing pain thresholds to single and repeated (five impulses at 2 Hz) electrical stimuli and compared these tests with pinprick and cold stimulation. Bupivacaine 0.5% (20 ml) was injected at L2-3. After extradural anaesthesia the threshold to repeated stimuli was significantly lower than the thr...

lengths. Fur thermore , Schultz et al. , using artificial membranes with uniformly defined pores, found that for similar Stokes radius the globular proteins have larger reflection coefficients than those of the dextran fractions. Thus, in my opinion, it is erroneous to use the Stokes radius of dextran fractions to correlate the pore size of membranes. Miguel F. Refojo Eye Research Institute Bos...
