Sentences with phrase «electrical spikes»

The electrodes record electrical spikes when neurons fire.

Durand's lab is trying to understand how a source that moves without diffusion can move without electricity and generate electrical spikes.

NIST's artificial synapse is a tiny metal cylinder that processes incoming electrical spikes to customize spiking output signals based on a tunable internal design.

Wave Change These days, Miller is taking on another piece of dogma — that neurons primarily communicate by electrical spikes.

That is, ghostly blue light that illuminates the catacombs of the brain and causes a tiny subset of neurons with a known identity to produce electrical spikes wakes up the animal.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) of your brain would report a P300 — a positive electrical spike of recognition occurring about 300 milliseconds after the image.

NIST's artificial synapse — a squat metallic cylinder 10 micrometers in diameter — is like the real thing because it can process incoming electrical spikes to customize spiking output signals.

When one neuron's signal is strong enough, it causes the neuron on the other side of the synapse to fire an electrical spike.

Neurons generate an electrical spike when the flow of ions across the cell membrane rises above a set threshold.

Although traveling bursts of voltage can carry signals across the brain quickly, those electrical spikes may not be the only — or even the main — way that information is carried in nervous systems.

They measured the electrical spikes from individual neurons in two regions of the pulvinar while the primates looked at four types of images: snakes both coiled and elongated, macaque faces with both angry and neutral expressions, macaque hands in various positions, and geometric shapes such as circles and stars.

The following year, based on experiments in the giant squid axon, British biophysicists Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley described how ion flow across the cell membrane generates the electrical spikes — called action potentials — that constitute these signals.

Those processes lead to an electrical spike, called an action potential.

These not only let you plug everything into one place, but will protect your electronics from electrical spikes and surges.
