  2. Recurrent thalamo-cortical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_thalamo-cortical...

    The thalamocortical loop starts with oscillatory thalamic cells. These cells receive both sensory input from the body as well as input from feedback pathways in the brain. In a sense, these cells serve to integrate these multiple inputs by changing their inherent oscillatory properties in response to depolarization by these many different inputs.

  3. Idle (CPU) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(CPU)

    Common methods are reducing the clock speed along with the CPU voltage and sending parts of the processor into a sleep state. On processors that have a halt instruction that stops the CPU until an interrupt occurs, such as x86 's HLT instruction, it may save significant amounts of power and heat if the idle task consists of a loop which ...

    According to The Verge, Loop provides "blocks of collaborative text or content that can live independently and be copied, pasted, and shared freely." [5]Microsoft Loop comes with templates for meetings, project planning, and personal tasks, and offers integration with other Microsoft and third-party tools and services. [6]

    Media controls on a multimedia keyboard. From top; left to right: skip backward, skip forward, stop, play/pause. Media control symbols are commonly found on both software and physical media players, remote controls, and multimedia keyboards.

  6. Articulatory suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulatory_suppression

    Articulatory suppression is the process of inhibiting memory performance by speaking while being presented with an item to remember. Most research demonstrates articulatory suppression by requiring an individual to repeatedly say an irrelevant speech sound out loud while being presented with a list of words to recall shortly after.

  7. Sleeping barber problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_barber_problem

    First, there is a risk that a race condition, where the barber sleeps while a customer waits for the barber to get them for a haircut, arises because all of the actions—checking the waiting room, entering the shop, taking a waiting room chair—take a certain amount of time. Specifically, a customer may arrive to find the barber cutting hair ...

  8. Phase response curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_response_curve

    About five hours after usual bedtime, coinciding with the body temperature trough (the lowest point of the core body temperature during sleep) the PRC peaks and the effect changes abruptly from phase delay to phase advance. Immediately after this peak, light exposure has its greatest phase-advancing effect, causing earlier wake-up and sleep onset.

  9. Sleep onset latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_onset_latency

    For home-testing for an unusually low sleep latency and potential sleep deprivation, the authors point to a technique developed by Nathaniel Kleitman, the "father of sleep research". The subject reclines in a quiet, darkened room and drapes a hand holding a spoon over the edge of the bed or chair, placing a plate on the floor beneath the spoon.
