1. (neurophysiology) In line with excited parallel neurofibers.
   • 1975, Harold Thomas Anthony Whiting, Readings in human performance, page 131:

     Because of a:— counterbalancing relationship between onbeam excitation and inhibition at the Purkinje cell (Eccles et al., 1967) some manner of continually refurbished excitation from these extramuscular receptors must be postulated (Murphy, MacKay & Johnson, 1973)

   • 1976 January, Naiphinich Kotchabhakdi, “Functional circuitry of the goldfish cerebellum”, in Journal of comparative physiology, volume 112, number 1:

     A Diagram of neuronal circuitry and positions of extracellular microelectrodes (EME) for recording from stellate ceils ($7), intracellular microelectrodes (IME) for recording from Purkinje cells (PC), two local stimulating electrodes (LSE 1 and LSE 2) for stimulating parallel fibers (PF), offbeam and onbeam respectively.

   • 2007, Alan Longstaff, BIOS Instant Notes in Neuroscience, →ISBN:

     The granule cell parallel fibers activate several arrays of onbeam Purkinje cells (Fig. 1), which strongly inhibit their target neurons in the interpositus nucleus.

2. On a transmitted carrier wave.
   • 2007 December, Keith L. McLaughlin, Hans G. Israelsson, Benjamin C. Kohl, “Evaluation of a Time-Domain Adaptive Beamformer for Regional Phase Detection”, in Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, volume 97, number 6:

     The FSTAT detector performance is suboptimal in the presence of onbeam coherent noise or incoherent signals ...

   • 2011, Mark Leach, Marienbad My Love With Mango Extracts, →ISBN, page 91:

     But now they`re using onbeam avenues, taking it worldwide. Random individuals are secretly chosen for covert behavior, thought and perception control via onbeam avenues and other advanced technologies.
