Efficient estimation of sensory thresholds with ML-PEST.
نویسنده
چکیده
A set of C and C+2 routines are described that allow the efficient estimation of sensory thresholds in psychophysical experiments using a maximum-likelihood staircase procedure. They have been used effectively in visual, auditory, gustatory, and olfactory psychophysics.

Active and resting motor threshold are efficiently obtained with adaptive threshold hunting
Transcranial magnetic studies typically rely on measures of active and resting motor threshold (i.e. AMT, RMT). Previous work has demonstrated that adaptive threshold hunting approaches are efficient for estimating RMT. To date, no study has compared motor threshold estimation approaches for measures of AMT, yet this measure is fundamental in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies that...
متن کاملFast and accurate measurement of taste and smell thresholds using a maximum-likelihood adaptive staircase procedure.
This paper evaluates the use of a maximum-likelihood adaptive staircase psychophysical procedure (ML-PEST), originally developed in vision and audition, for measuring detection thresholds in gustation and olfaction. The basis for the psychophysical measurement of thresholds with the ML-PEST procedure is developed. Then, two experiments and four simulations are reported. In the first experiment,...
متن کاملThreshold Estimation in the Preschool Period: The PEST Procedure Estimation du seuil d'audition lors de la periode prescolaire : la methode PEST
Preschool children's thresholds for narrow-band noises centred at 500 and 4000 Hz were estimated on two occasions with an adaptive procedure commonly used with adults (PEST). Averaged individual thresholds for 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children were comparable to group thresholds obtained previously with the method of constant stimuli. As expected. thresholds were higher for 500-Hz than for 4000-H...

Background: Cortical Evoked Response Audiometry (CERA) refers to prediction of behavioral pure-tone thresholds (500-4000 Hz) obtained by recording the N1-P2 complex of auditory long latency responses. CERA is the preferred method for frequency–specific estimation of audiogram in conscious adults and older children. CERA has an increased accuracy of determination of the hearing thresholds of ale...

Objective Sensory processing refers to reception, adjustment, and integration of sensory information sequentially and generates adaptive responses. People need to have appropriate sensory processing abilities for functioning adequately in the environment and be able to participate in activities of daily living. Dunn's sensory processing model consists of two constructions. The first constructio...
