Fast Threshold Tests for Detecting Discrimination
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Threshold tests have recently been proposed as a useful method for detecting bias in lending, hiring, and policing decisions. ...
For example, in the case of credit extensions, these tests aim to estimate the bar for granting loans to white and minority applicants, with a higher inferred threshold for minorities indicative of discrimination ...
We apply the threshold test to assess possible bias in decisions to search individuals for weapons. We also extend the threshold test to detect discrimination in the decision to stop an individual. ...

Specificity of fast perceptual learning in shape localisation tasks based on detection versus form discrimination
2010
Vision Research
Here we examined the role of task on fast perceptual learning for shape localisation either in simple detection or based on form discrimination in different visual submodalities, using identical stimulus ...
Fast perceptual learning occurred for shape detection-based on luminance, motion and color differences but not for texture differences. ...
The correlation between texture detection and form discrimination was small but significant (0.305; p < 0.002). For the detection task the threshold was 2.2°(0.64 SE) from the first testing day on. ...

Perceptual-learning evidence for inter-onset-interval- and frequency-specific processing of fast rhythms
2018
Attention, Perception & Psychophysics
Trained listeners (n=8) practiced anisochrony detection with a 100-ms IOI marked by 1-kHz tones, 720 trials per day for 7 days. ...
However, the learning on anisochrony detection did not generalize to temporal-interval discrimination with the trained IOI (100 ms) and marker frequency (1 kHz) or to anisochrony detection with an untrained ...
Acknowledgments We thank Paul Reber and Sazzad Nassir for their helpful comments on a preliminary draft of this paper. ...

Failure of direction discrimination at detection threshold for both fast and slow chromatic motion
1998
Optical Society of America. Journal A: Optics, Image Science, and Vision
For the achromatic mechanism, direction discrimination was always possible at detection threshold. ...
For the red-green mechanism, we find that direction discrimination thresholds are significantly greater than detection thresholds at all stimulus speeds. ...

We measured the psychophysical threshold for velocity discrimination and contrast detection (as a control task) in all subjects. ...
At higher velocities, both bipolar and schizophrenic patients showed elevated thresholds. All subjects showed normal contrast detection thresholds. ...

The study of calibration for the hybrid pixel detector with single photon counting in HEPS-BPIX
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
For the threshold trimming, the precise algorithm basing on LDAC characteristic and fast algorithm basing on LDAC scanning are proposed in this paper to study the performance of the threshold DACs which ...
The measurement results show that the fast algorithm could get the applicable threshold dispersion for a silicon pixel module and take a shorter time, while the precise algorithm could get better threshold ...
For the detectable energy, the GDAC can be set to the corresponding energy.

Effects of contrast and temporal frequency on orientation discrimination for luminance and isoluminant stimuli
1998
Vision Research
When contrast was defined as multiples of detection thresholds, discrimination was slightly better for luminance gratings. ...
Thresholds for fast moving gratings were similar, irrespective of the definition of contrast. ...
In all cases thresholds for detection were equal to those for orientation discrimination. ...
