An amplitude modulation/demodulation scheme for whisker-based texture perception.
Whisking rodents can discriminate finely textured objects using their vibrissae. The biomechanical and neural processes underlying such sensory tasks remain elusive. Here we combine the use of model micropatterned substrates and high-resolution videography of rats' whiskers during tactile exploration to study how texture information is mechanically encoded in the whisker motion. A biomechanical...
متن کاملPerception of amplitude and frequency modulated signals (mixed modulation).
This article discusses the detection of mixed modulation, i.e., simultaneous amplitude and frequency modulation (MM). The investigations have incorporated both a sine wave modulating signal and an irregular modulating signal, a very narrow noise band, of a specified center frequency. The results revealed that for a sinusoidal low-frequency modulating signal, amplitude and frequency changes that...
متن کاملAutomatic screening and detection of threshold fine structure.
Audiograms measured with a high frequency resolution often show quasi-periodic ripples of up to 15 dB in normal-hearing listeners. This fine structure of the threshold in quiet is commonly associated with the active processes in the cochlea. Therefore its absence is discussed in the literature as an indicator of cochlear vulnerability. In order to enable a quick detection and an objective quant...
متن کاملFeedback Amplitude Modulation Synthesis
A recently rediscovered sound synthesis method, which is based on feedback amplitude modulation (FBAM), is investigated. The FBAM system is interpreted as a periodically linear time-varying digital filter, and its stability, aliasing, and scaling properties are considered. Several novel variations of the basic system are derived and analyzed. Separation of the input and the modulation signals i...
متن کاملQuadrature Amplitude Modulation
The simplest type of digital modulation involves transmitting a sequence of waveforms (“symbols”) si(t) of equal durationT where eachwaveform is chosen independently from a set of M. This allows us to transmit up to b = log2(M) bits per symbol. A common sets of such symbols are those where the real and imaginary parts of the complex baseband signal are each modulated in amplitude. This known as...
