Noise Improves Visual Motion Discrimination via a Stochastic Resonance-Like Phenomenon.

abstract：Background:Dreaming is a universal experience, yet there is considerable inter-individual variability in dream recall frequency (DRF). One dominant model, the "arousal-retrieval" model, posits that intra-sleep wakefulness is required for dream traces to be encoded into long-term storage, essentially proposing that a be...
