QIF-T0063
mediumNoise injection (detection masking)
Tier 5 — Theoretical (Modeled / Simulated)
Legacy status: THEORETICAL
Add carefully calibrated noise to mask malicious signal components from detection algorithms. Targets QI's sigma-phi (phase) and sigma-gamma (amplitude) terms. Multi-channel cross-validation detects inconsistent noise patterns.

✚ Therapeutic Application
Injection of noise into BCI data pipeline to mask ongoing attack signatures
Clinical Analog
Stochastic resonance (SR) — adding noise to enhance weak signal detection
Treats

Population Vulnerability
CRB vulnerability adjustment (γ=0.30) accounts for age, diagnosis severity, consent capacity, and device dependency.
| Population | NISS Base | Adjusted | Severity | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult (Default) | 1.4 | 1.4 | Low | - |
| Child (10yr) + ADHD | 1.4 | 1.6 | Low | +0.25 |
| Adult with ALS | 1.4 | 1.6 | Low | +0.23 |
