  2. Signal integrity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_integrity

    Signal integrity or SI is a set of measures of the quality of an electrical signal. In digital electronics , a stream of binary values is represented by a voltage (or current) waveform. However, digital signals are fundamentally analog in nature, and all signals are subject to effects such as noise , distortion , and loss.

  3. Vigilance (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigilance_(psychology)

    In modern psychology, vigilance, also termed sustained concentration, is defined as the ability to maintain concentrated attention over prolonged periods of time. [1] During this time, the person attempts to detect the appearance of a particular target stimulus. The individual watches for a signal stimulus that may occur at an unknown time. [2]

  4. Source–message–channel–receiver model of communication

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source–message–channel...

    For example, there is a difference in how one talks to superiors and to peers. The communication styles of people with distinct social-cultural backgrounds can differ a lot. For example, Americans, Indonesians, Japanese, and Germans may differ both in what content they talk about and how they express them.

  5. Fidelity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidelity

    Fidelity is therefore a measure of the realism of a model or simulation. [4] Simulation fidelity has also been described in the past as "degree of similarity". [5] In quantum mechanics and optics, [6] the fidelity of a field is calculated as an overlap integral of the field of interest with a reference or target field.

  6. Narrative paradigm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative_paradigm

    Narrative fidelity is the degree to which a story fits into the observer's experience with other accounts. How the experience of a story rings true with past stories they know to be true in their lives. Stories with fidelity may influence their beliefs and values. Fisher set five criteria that affect a story's narrative fidelity.

  7. Countersignaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersignaling

    For example, in biology peacocks expend energy on elaborate plumage that increase their risk of dying. By doing this they demonstrate their genetic fitness, as genetically less fit males can only grow small plumage, while genetically better individuals can grow larger ones.

  8. Infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

    Close-cell polyurethane foam has been found to serve the purpose well. In the proposed test, test parameters will be sensitivity, background noise, signal fidelity (harmonic distortion), and temporal stability. The microphone design differs from that of a conventional audio system in that the peculiar features of infrasound are taken into account.

  9. N400 (neuroscience) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N400_(neuroscience)

    For example, in the sentence A sparrow is a building, the N400 response to building is more negative than the N400 response to bird in the sentence A sparrow is a bird. In this case, building has a lower cloze probability, and so it is less expected than bird. However, if negation is added to both sentences in the form of the word not (i.e.
