Abstract: Abstract The four-interval, two-alternative forced-choice (4I2AFC) is a paired version of the 2-AFC with AB and BA pairs as two alternatives, where A is a signal or a stronger stimulus and B is a noise… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foodqual.2019.103864
Abstract: Abstract When considering sensory discrimination studies, multiple d-prime values are often obtained from several sensory attributes. In this paper, we introduce principal component analysis as a way of gaining information about d-prime values across sensory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45989-3
Abstract: Astrocytes express ionotropic receptors, including N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). However, the contribution of NMDARs to astrocyte-neuron interactions, particularly in vivo, has not been elucidated. Here we show that a knockdown approach to selectively reduce NMDARs in… read more here.

Thurstonian Scaling for Sensory Discrimination Methods
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Applied Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/app15020991
Abstract: Thurstonian scaling, i.e., Thurstonian discriminal distance δ or d′, can be used as a sensory measurement index to measure and monitor food sensory difference/similarity between test and control samples due to potential food contamination. It… read more here.
