  2. Contingent negative variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingent_negative_variation

    [8] [9] This wave showed enhanced amplitude in the frontal regions. The second wave preceded the imperative stimulus and was called the E wave, or expectancy wave. A study conducted by Gaillard (1976) provided further evidence that the O wave was frontally distributed and was more strongly affected by auditory stimuli rather than visual stimuli ...

  3. Von Neumann–Wigner interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann–Wigner...

    In the orthodox Copenhagen interpretation, quantum mechanics predicts only the probabilities for different observed experimental outcomes. What constitutes an observer or an observation is not directly specified by the theory, and the behavior of a system under measurement and observation is completely different from its usual behavior: the wavefunction that describes a system spreads out into ...

  4. De Broglie–Bohm theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Broglie–Bohm_theory

    The de Broglie–Bohm theory [a] is an interpretation of quantum mechanics which postulates that, in addition to the wavefunction, an actual configuration of particles exists, even when unobserved.

  5. Interruption science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interruption_science

    Interruption science is a branch of human factors psychology and emerged from human–computer interaction and cognitive psychology. Being ubiquitous in life and an intuitive concept, there are few formal definitions of interruption.

  6. Matter wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave

    The concept that matter behaves like a wave was proposed by French physicist Louis de Broglie (/ d ə ˈ b r ɔɪ /) in 1924, and so matter waves are also known as de Broglie waves. The de Broglie wavelength is the wavelength , λ , associated with a particle with momentum p through the Planck constant , h : λ = h p . {\displaystyle \lambda ...

  7. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    With respect to the center of mass, both velocities are reversed by the collision: a heavy particle moves slowly toward the center of mass, and bounces back with the same low speed, and a light particle moves fast toward the center of mass, and bounces back with the same high speed. The velocity of the center of mass does not change by the ...

  8. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    A distinct use of the term sound from its use in physics is that in physiology and psychology, where the term refers to the subject of perception by the brain. The field of psychoacoustics is dedicated to such studies. Webster's dictionary defined sound as: "1. The sensation of hearing, that which is heard; specif.: a. Psychophysics.

  9. Psychoacoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics

    Psychoacoustics is the branch of psychophysics involving the scientific study of the perception of sound by the human auditory system.It is the branch of science studying the psychological responses associated with sound including noise, speech, and music.
