Sentence examples for threshold tracking from inspiring English sources

We have used electrical threshold tracking [27] to determine an excitability index that serves as an indirect means of assessing relative changes in membrane potential [26].

Axonal excitability studies were performed using previously described threshold tracking protocols applied to the median nerve (Kiernan et al., 2000).

Using novel threshold tracking TMS techniques, the present study investigated the effects of fatiguing hand exercise on different phases of cortical excitability to help clarify the mechanisms underlying the generation of SICI.

Consequently, the present study assessed effects of fatiguing hand exercise on the 2 SICI phases, using threshold tracking transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques, to yield further information on underlying mechanisms.

In contrast, the present study suggests that cortical hyperexcitability is specific to ALS across the spectrum of clinical presentations that report hyperexcitability and that, since the threshold tracking TMS technique reliably differentiates acquired neuromyotonia from ALS, it may be useful, particularly in the early disease stages where diagnostic confusion is possible.

Consequently, the present study utilized the threshold tracking TMS technique to investigate the effects of fatiguing hand exercise on the different phases of SICI to provide further insights into the mechanisms underlying the generation of SICI at ISI 1 and 3 ms. Studies were undertaken on 22 right-handed healthy volunteers (12 men and 10 women, mean 46 years, age range 23 76 years).

At the large radius limit, the MNP shows Fp ~ Q but shifts to Q ≪ Fp with scaling, and the threshold tracks first 1/Fp and then 1/Q.

We detected and removed this "flank" using an iterative algorithm that, starting from the borders determined by local contrast thresholding, tracked towards brighter intensities until it reached the interface between the bright halo and the cell edge.

The threshold track shows a non-monotonously drifting threshold, suggesting that neither the static nor the relaxed procedure is appropriate.

The threshold track estimated that the threshold increased from 0.18 to 0.45 mA from the start until approximately 5 minutes of the experiment.

For threshold tracks, a shifting time window was used to obtain momentary estimates of the threshold and the slope using the regression model used for the relaxed procedure (i.e., Eq.  5 with t = the time at the center of the window).
