  2. Betamax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax

    Betamax (also known as Beta, as in its logo) is a consumer-level analog recording and cassette format of magnetic tape for video, commonly known as a video cassette recorder. It was developed by Sony and was released in Japan on May 10, 1975, [1] followed by the US in November of the same year. Betamax is widely considered to be obsolete ...

  3. Neural oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_oscillation

    Pathology. Handwriting of a person affected by Parkinson's disease showing rhythmic tremor activity in the strokes. Generalized 3 Hz spike and wave discharges reflecting seizure activity. Specific types of neural oscillations may also appear in pathological situations, such as Parkinson's disease or epilepsy.

  4. Brainwave entrainment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment

    Brainwave entrainment is a colloquialism for 'neural entrainment', [25] which is a term used to denote the way in which the aggregate frequency of oscillations produced by the synchronous electrical activity in ensembles of cortical neurons can adjust to synchronize with the periodic vibration of external stimuli, such as a sustained acoustic ...

  5. Beta wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_wave

    Beta waves were discovered and named by the German psychiatrist Hans Berger, who invented electroencephalography (EEG) in 1924, as a method of recording electrical brain activity from the human scalp. Berger termed the larger amplitude, slower frequency waves that appeared over the posterior scalp when the subject's eye were closed alpha waves.

  6. Nonlinear acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_acoustics

    Nonlinear acoustics (NLA) is a branch of physics and acoustics dealing with sound waves of sufficiently large amplitudes. Large amplitudes require using full systems of governing equations of fluid dynamics (for sound waves in liquids and gases) and elasticity (for sound waves in solids). These equations are generally nonlinear, and their ...

  7. Frequency modulation synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation_synthesis

    Waveforms for each β. Spectra for each β. Frequency modulation synthesis (or FM synthesis) is a form of sound synthesis whereby the frequency of a waveform is changed by modulating its frequency with a modulator. The (instantaneous) frequency of an oscillator is altered in accordance with the amplitude of a modulating signal.

  8. Alpha wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_wave

    Alpha waves. Alpha waves, or the alpha rhythm, are neural oscillations in the frequency range of 8–12 Hz [1] likely originating from the synchronous and coherent ( in phase or constructive) electrical activity of thalamic pacemaker cells in humans. Historically, they are also called "Berger's waves" after Hans Berger, who first described them ...

  9. Propagation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_constant

    Propagation constant. The propagation constant of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is a measure of the change undergone by the amplitude and phase of the wave as it propagates in a given direction. The quantity being measured can be the voltage, the current in a circuit, or a field vector such as electric field strength or flux density.

  10. Beta3-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta3-adrenergic_agonist

    The β3 (beta 3) adrenergic receptor agonist or β3-adrenoceptor agonist, also known as β3-AR agonist, are a class of medicine that bind selectively to β 3 -adrenergic receptors. β 3 -AR agonists for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes have been in developmental stages within many large pharmaceutical companies since the early 1990s ...

  11. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)

    Beat (acoustics) In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. With tuning instruments that can produce sustained tones, beats can be readily recognized.
