Random noise stimulation technique involves applying any form of energy (for instance,
light, mechanical, electrical, sound) with unpredictable intensities through time to the brain …

Visual processing impairments are now well established in schizophrenia, including
abnormalities in: contrast sensitivity (Kiss et al., 2010; Kelemen et al., 2013); excitatory and …

There has been extensive research on impaired emotion recognition in schizophrenia in the
facial and vocal modalities. The literature points to biases toward non-relevant emotions for …

Schizophrenia has been linked to impaired performance on a range of visual processing
tasks (eg detection of coherent motion and contour detection). It has been proposed that this …

The internal noise present in a linear system can be quantified by the equivalent noise
method. By measuring the effect that applying external noise to the system's input has on its …

Background Neural information processing is subject to noise and this leads to variability in
neural firing and behavior. Schizophrenia has been associated with both more variable …

Schizophrenia (SCHZ) notably impacts various human perceptual modalities, including
vision. Prior research has identified marked abnormalities in perceptual organization in …

Abstract Information theory provides a formal framework within which information processing
and its disorders can be described. However, information theory has rarely been applied to …

Classification images (CIs) measured in a face discrimination task differ significantly
between older and younger observers. These age differences are consistent with the …

Purpose: Recent evidence shows that macular damage is common even in early stages of
glaucoma. Here we investigated whether contrast sensitivity loss in the central vision of …
