Time interval statistics in speech synthesis: A critical evaluation
Thesis
Underwood, M. J. Time interval statistics in speech synthesis: A critical evaluation. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/412607

A speech wave that has been successively amplified and limited so that it is reduced to a rectangular form is intelligible to a human listener. Much information is retained in the temporal pattern of the time-intervals between the changes of state of... Read More about Time interval statistics in speech synthesis: A critical evaluation.

Associative responses to colour and pattern in the human visual system
Thesis
Associative responses to colour and pattern in the human visual system. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/414549

Psychophysical methods have been applied to the following four aspects of the McCollough effect with a view to the elucidation of its mechanism and its locus:
(1) time course of build-up and decay
(2) association of colour with scale of pattern... Read More about Associative responses to colour and pattern in the human visual system.

The coding of intensity in the peripheral auditory system of the cat
Thesis
The coding of intensity in the peripheral auditory system of the cat. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/414550

A discrepancy exists between the dynamic range of peripheral auditory neurones and the range over which the human ear maintains fine intensity discrimination. Psychophysical experiments, using simultaneous high and low pass (bandstop) masking noise,... Read More about The coding of intensity in the peripheral auditory system of the cat.

The stimulus specificities of different components of pattern-onset visual evoked potentials in man
Thesis
The stimulus specificities of different components of pattern-onset visual evoked potentials in man. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/414652

The transient visual evoked potential elicited by the onset of a briefly presented pattern typically contains three major components occurring within 200ms of stimulus onset. The first of these, Cl, is believed to originate in striate cortex, while t... Read More about The stimulus specificities of different components of pattern-onset visual evoked potentials in man.

Visual comparison of patterns: the significance of pattern transformation and pattern arrangement in the visual field
Thesis
Visual comparison of patterns: the significance of pattern transformation and pattern arrangement in the visual field. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/414664

The two main types of scheme for the internal representation and internal processing of visual stimuli involve either a 'pointlllistic' internal representation to which various internal compensatory transformations can be applied, or a structured, in...

Electrolytic growth processes with applications to adaptive systems
Thesis
Electrolytic growth processes with applications to adaptive systems. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/410413

Two types of electrolytic growth processes have been investigated as possible means of controlling impedances in adaptive systems. One of these entails the growth of conductors by metallic deposition and the other the growth of insulation by anodic o...

Psychophysical evidence concerning the integration of curvature information in short contours
Thesis
Psychophysical evidence concerning the integration of curvature information in short contours. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416620

Performance of curvature discrimination was measured for a wide range of stimulus curvatures and sizes, using an adaptive version of the Method of Constant Stimuli. Performance is expressed both in terms of curvature difference thresholds, and effici...

A psychoacoustical study of the processing and subsequent detection of frequency-modulation
Thesis
A psychoacoustical study of the processing and subsequent detection of frequency-modulation. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416631

Evidence is provided for tuned channels in the human auditory system selectively responsive to frequency-modulation (FM). Thresholds for the detection of small changes in frequency were measured with a 2IFC procedure in two subjects at a number of fr...

Form specific adaptation and pattern recognition: an experimental and theoretical study
Thesis
Form specific adaptation and pattern recognition: an experimental and theoretical study. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416650

Among the theories of visual pattern recognition are structural theories which propose that patterns are encoded in terras of features and their spatial relationships (relations). Structural theories are examined here with both adaptation and pattern... Read More about Form specific adaptation and pattern recognition: an experimental and theoretical study.

An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect
Thesis
An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416845

A series of experiments are reported which have attempted to isolate some factors causing inter and intrasubject variability of the McCollough effect.* A number of such factors were found.
1. The initial strength of the OCCA is strongly influenced b... Read More about An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect.

Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli
Thesis
Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416858

A series of experiments are reported in which the spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of the initial components Cl and CII of the transient pattern-onset VEP, of predicted striate and extrastriate origin, are examined. Where relevant the respo... Read More about Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli.
