Models of sensory coding
… some of the general computational principles of sensory information processing in the brain. The sensory system detects physical quantities of the environment and transforms them into internal representations on which behavioural decisions are based. The properties that make a representation …

Sensory Sensitivities of Gifted Children
… has been reported regarding the study of the sensory sensitivity of this group. Many reports from those who interact with gifted children suggest that these children possess increased sensitivity to physical stimulation (tactile, visual, and auditory). Data was gathered from parents of gifted …

Sensory Transduction in Enteroendocrine Cells
The sensing of luminal nutrients is a central function of the gut epithelium where enteroendocrine cells act as sensor cells to secrete hormones in response to the luminal contents. This thesis focuses on voltage gated ion channels and the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily in I cells …

A generator of sensory architectures
… should be experienced and created by the multi-sensory of our bodies. And somehow, the priority of visual sense is becoming the limitation for us to understand and pursue architecture in a broader way. Our conventional design process places emphasis on drawings and ocular representation, …

Investigating sensory characteristics and flavor profiles of ten cucumber cultivars using descriptive and sensory instrumental analysis
This study aimed to assess selected cucumber sensory characteristics using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) and link with instrumental analysis of volatile aroma and non-volatile taste compounds. QDA, using a trained panel (n=10), identified and quantified 14 flavor descriptors for 10 …

Sensory Ecology of Foraging in Bumblebees
… mechanisms of this behavior, however, the sensory-perceptual processes that constrain such behavior have rarely been considered. In the present study I used bumblebees (Bombus terrestris), an important pollinating insect, to investigate possible sensory constraints on foraging behavior. …

On The Origin of Sensory Errors
… trial-by-trial variability of the responses of sensory neurons that encode the percept. Initially, it would seem that a complicated electrophysiological experiment would need to be performed to test this hypothesis. However, using a strong theoretical framework, I demonstrate that it is possible …

Sensory Organ Morphogenesis in Caenorhabditis Elegans
<p>Sensory organs are the gates through which information flows into the nervous system. In most animals, such organs consist of sensory neurons, which can transform stimuli into changes in their membrane potential, and glial cells, which establish a niche important for the morphogenesis and …

Light Stimulation of Sensory Hair Cells
<p>Hair cells are the mechanosensory detectors that underlie our senses of audition and balance. Their mechanosensitivity arises from direct gating of force-sensitive ion channels by the tension in tip links located at the tops of the stereocilia. The study of hair cells and their mechanically …

Annapolis City Dock: A Sensory Exploration
… of Annapolis City Dock by reconnecting to unique sensory experiences shaped by wind, water, and craft. A more engaging relationship between land and water is created by sculpting the city's edge and designing a maritime museum and boat building workshop. Sculptural elements of the building produce …

Sensory Research on Ginseng Food Products
… growth of functional foods market. Few consumer sensory studies related to ginseng have been conducted in the United States. The overall objectives of this study were to: 1) probe U.S. consumers’ insights of ginseng food products, 2) determine the sensory acceptance of ginseng food products, and …
