Orientation Preference and Behavioural Thermoregulatory Coordination in Pogona vitticeps.
… behaviours to thermoregulate, including body orientation. The purpose of this work was to examine orientation behaviour in bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) as well as possible coordination between thermoregulatory responses. Both adult and two week old neonatal bearded dragons were placed in …

Influence of the structure of the orientation preference map on the responses of V1 neurons
… reasoned that the influence of local inputs on orientation tuning should be different at different locations in the orientation map, because the available data suggest that the orientation composition of the local connections varies with location in the map. In particular, near pinwheel centers, …

Imaging plasticity and structure of cortical maps in cat and mouse visual cortex
… of intrinsic signals to visualize changes in orientation maps in cat visual cortex induced by pairing a visual stimulus with an intracortical electrical stimulation. We found that the direction of plasticity within orientation maps depends critically on the relative timing between visual and …

Phase Transformation and Mechanical Behavior of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) Manufactured Co-28Cr-6Mo
… FCC matrix, and that grain size decreased while orientation preference slightly increased in the samples as HCP percent increased within the phase composition of Co-28Cr-6Mo. Common fracture features were also identified for the varying phase compositions and print settings, which found that …

Measurements of Malleable Visual Mechanisms Through High-resolution fMRI and Perceptual Learning
… low-level properties of the visual system, like orientation selectivity, were considered stable. However, advances in methodologies and theoretical frameworks have challenged this belief; we now know that external and internal factors can influence many low-level visual properties. I conducted …

Low-rank graphical models and Bayesian inference in the statistical analysis of noisy neural data
… and apply them to the problem of inferring orientation selectivity maps from noisy observations of orientation preference. The relevant low-rank model exploits the self-conjugacy of the von Mises distribution on the circle. Because the orientation map model is loopy, we cannot do exact …

Understanding Attitude Towards Help Seeking in Predicting Preference for Psychotherapeutic Orientation
… qualities predict their psychotherapy preferences. Additionally, this study examined the extent to which people’s attitude toward seeking professional psychological help would predict their psychotherapy preferences above and beyond their dispositional characteristics.</p> <p>An online …
