Spatial-memory control of defensive actions
… of mouse instinctive defensive behaviours on memory of the spatial environment, and the neural mechanisms responsible for accurate escape towards refuge. First, using behavioural assays, I show that the choice and execution of defensive behaviours rely on rapidly acquired memory and are …

Domain-general control mechanisms underlying stopping of thought and action
… or trying to stop the retrieval of an unwanted memory from coming into awareness. Are all these forms of stopping the same? Are there common brain regions and mechanisms, which mediate response inhibition regardless of whether one is stopping an action or a thought? In this thesis, we address …

The neurocognitive mechanisms underlying dissociative amnesia
… amnesia refers to the loss of autobiographical memory with a presumed psychological cause. This can involve memory loss for traumatic experiences, such as in PTSD. It can also involve more extensive amnesia for several years, or, in its most extreme form, a fugue state involving total loss of …

A Behavioral Test Strategy For Board Level Systems
… heterogeneous mixture of chips: microprocessors, memory, control and I/O logic. Different testing techniques are needed for each of these components. To test the whole board, these techniques must be integrated into an overall testing strategy for the board. In this thesis, we have applied a …

Effects of episodic familiarity and statistical regularity On intentional forgetting
… with a Forget instruction impairs their memory compared to cuing with a Remember (R) instruction. Across seven experiments, this investigation examined how episodic familiarity and statistical regularity influence intentional forgetting using verbal and pictorial stimuli. In Experiment …

Performance composability: An emerging challenge in performance-adaptive systems
… holistic performance management techniques for controlling and optimizing system performance and (ii) runtime diagnosis and recovery techniques for guarding the system from instability. We first develop a software service, called OptiTuner, that allows easy implementation of different holistic …

The Relation Among Thought Suppression, Forgetting, and Mental Health
… is the root of building virtuous character, controlling our thoughts is perhaps the beginning of disciplining our minds in this arduous walk of life. Active forgetting can be a tool, which in times of difficulty can allow us to get up and step back into walking in life, rather than letting …
