... be masked by ‘undetectable’ noise, i.e. visual noise presented at spatial frequencies at which coherently moving gratings do not elicit a response ( Tarawneh et al., 2017 ). That study compared the responses of human and insect motion detectors using different ways of quantifying masking (contrast threshold...

... gain control during echolocation is not enabled by the middle ear as in bats, but rather by frequency-dependent mechanisms such as forward masking and perhaps higher-order control of efferent feedback to the outer hair cells. * Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Competing...
