How the auditory cortex syncs with behavior to help the brain become a better listener

When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, the auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not ...

Logistic-Function Shaping of Radial Force for Acoustic Noise Reduction in Switched Reluctance Motor

Abstract: In this paper, radial-force shaping using the logistic function is proposed for acoustic noise reduction in switched reluctance motors. The proposed radial-force shaping regulates the radial ...

Cortical Plasticity Induced by Pairing Primary Motor Cortex Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation With Subthalamic Nucleus Magneto-Acoustic Coupling Stimulation

Abstract: Paired cortical and deep stimulation has the potential to induce enhanced cortical plasticity. Ideally, such stimulation should be noninvasive and precisely controlled. A novel paired ...
