Sentence examples for impairs discrimination from inspiring English sources

Once the neurons are stably adapted, they may no longer show transient adaptive changes in response to single periodic vibrations, thereby removing the basis on which noise impairs discrimination performance.

Specifically, the decreased hit rate (from pre to post1) found in the lip experiment replicates our previous findings that the TMS-induced disruption of the motor lip representation impairs discrimination of "ba" and "da" sounds (Möttönen and Watkins 2009).

For example, we have shown that TMS-induced disruption of the lip representation in the primary motor cortex impairs discrimination of synthetic speech sounds that are close to the phonetic category boundary (e.g., "ba" vs. "da"), whereas disruption of the motor hand representation does not affect discrimination performance (Möttönen and Watkins 2009).

In rats and/or hamsters, transection of the CT diminishes NaCl avoidance in preference tests (Barry et al. 1996), impairs discrimination between NaCl and KCl (Spector and Grill 1992), and increases NaCl taste thresholds (Spector and Grill 1992; St John, Markison, Guagliardo, et al. 1997; Blonde et al. 2006).

Recent research demonstrated impaired discrimination of alcohol strength under distracting conditions.

BED subjects, similar to methamphetamine-dependent subjects, also exhibited impaired discrimination of reward magnitude or value.

Note that z-scores above 1.6 suggest impaired discrimination ability compared to age-matched normative data.

An rTMS-induced disruption in the hand area of the M1 cortex did not impair discrimination of any speech sounds.

We found that Rgs11−/− and DKO mice had virtually identical contrast sensitivity for slow stimuli (up to 12 deg/s), whereas at higher stimuli speeds (Sp) the DKOs displayed impaired discrimination of low-contrast gratings pattern compared to their Rgs11−/− counterparts.

Any disruption of the mucosal firewall, even local and transient, caused, for instance, by acute infection, epithelial damage, or just by increased permeability, could thus allow for microbial translocation and impair discrimination between commensals and pathogens.

On the contrary, due to spatial resolution constraints of TMS, swaths of FEF, including neuronal populations coding for nonrelevant directions may have been activated (introducing neural noise), rather than discrete neuronal populations, thereby impairing discrimination.
