Signal detection theory tests an observer's ability to discriminate between signal and noise. Deciding whether or not a patient's symptoms warrant further investigation or treatment is an example of ...

Using signal detection theory, Kessler Foundation researchers furthered their understanding of the mechanisms of cognitive fatigue in a recent neuroimaging study comparing participants with multiple ...

East Hanover, NJ. April 1, 2021. A team of New Jersey researchers has shown that changes in perceptual certainty and response bias, two central metrics of signal detection theory (SDT), correlate with ...

A team of New Jersey researchers has shown that changes in perceptual certainty and response bias, two central metrics of signal detection theory (SDT), correlate with changes in cognitive fatigue.

The origins of experimental psychology are found in the theory of discrimination created by Gustav Fechner. The theory advanced by Fechner was the first theory of ...

Flaw detection is the most commonly used technique among all the applications of industrial ultrasonic testing. Generally, sound waves of high frequency are reflected from flaws and generate clear ...

This paper establishes a connection between information theory and search theory. In the case of an exponential detection function we show that the search that maximizes the probability of detection ...
