Gating may refer to:

Neurobiology

Gating (electrophysiology) In electrophysiology, the term gating refers to the opening (activation) or closing (by deactivation or inactivation) of ion channels. This change in conformation is a response to changes in transmembrane voltage. When ion channels are in a 'close ...

, the opening (activation) or closing (deactivation) of ion channels * Sensory gating, an automatic process by which the brain adjusts to stimuli * Synaptic gating, neural circuits suppressing inputs through synapses

Technology

Gating (telecommunication) In telecommunication, the term gating has the following meanings: #The process of selecting only those portions of a wave between specified time intervals or between specified amplitude limits. #The controlling of signals by means of combinationa ...

, a process of selectively modifying signals * Gating system metalwork, a process in casting * Gating signal, a signal that provides a time window *

Clock gating In computer architecture, clock gating is a popular power management technique used in many synchronous circuits for reducing dynamic power dissipation (a significant source of power dissipation in digital designs), by removing the clock signal ...

, a power-saving techniques used in synchronous circuits *

Power gating Power gating is a technique used in integrated circuit An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or simply chip, is a set of electronic circuits, consisting of various electronic components (such as transistors, resistors, and ...

, a power-saving technique for circuits *

Noise gate A noise gate or simply gate is an electronic device or software that is used to control the amplitude, volume of an audio signal. Comparable to a limiter, which attenuates signals ''above'' a threshold, such as loud attacks from the start of mu ...

, a term in audio signal processing *

Frequency-resolved optical gating Frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) is a general method for measuring the Spectral density, spectral phase of Ultrashort pulse, ultrashort laser pulses, which range from subfemtosecond to about a nanosecond in length. Invented in 1991 by Rick ...

, a term related to auto correlation in optics * Gating (cytometry), manually selecting a population during flow cytometry analysis *

Gating mechanism In neural networks, the gating mechanism is an architectural motif for controlling the flow of activation and gradient signals. They are most prominently used in recurrent neural networks (RNNs), but have also found applications in other archite ...

, an architectural motif in

neural networks A neural network is a group of interconnected units called neurons that send signals to one another. Neurons can be either Cell (biology), biological cells or signal pathways. While individual neurons are simple, many of them together in a netwo ...
