Gating may refer to:

Neurobiology

* Gating (electrophysiology), the opening (activation) or closing (deactivation) of ion channels * Sensory gating, an automatic process by which the brain adjusts to stimuli *

Synaptic gating Synaptic gating is the ability of neural circuits to gate inputs by either suppressing or facilitating specific synaptic activity. Selective inhibition of certain synapses has been studied thoroughly (see Gate theory of pain), and recent studies ...

, neural circuits suppressing inputs through synapses

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 gating signal is a digital signal or pulse (sometimes called a "trigger") that provides a time window so that a particular event or signal from among many will be selected and others will be eliminated or discarded. In a multiple input AND/OR g ...
