Neurochemical characterization of the rodent primary sensory system
Primary sensory neurons and their associated tissues are important targets for neurochemical study. Disorders of the sensory system, including chronic pain and itch, can be extremely devastating and, in many cases, difficult to treat. Part of the difficulty of treating such disorders is the limited …

A sensory system for robots using evolutionary artificial neural networks.
… involved with developing an Intelligent Vision System for an animat that can analyse a visual scene in uncontrolled environments. Inspiration was drawn both from Biological Visual Systems and Artificial Image Recognition Systems. Several Biological Systems including the Insect, Toad and Human …

A data fusion-based hybrid sensory system for older people’s daily activity recognition.
… research aims to design and implement a hybrid sensory HAR system to provide more comprehensive, practical and accurate surveillance for older people to assist them living independently. This reseach: 1) designs and develops a hybrid HAR system which provides a spatio- temporal surveillance …

Ontogeny of Prepulse Inhibition Across Sensory Systems
… the published papers are limited to testing one sensory system at one age. The present study is a continuation of our research assessing whether PPI response curves differ as a modality of the prepulse as well as the maturation of such curves across early development. In the present study, we …

Development of thermal displays for haptic interfaces
… processing capabilities of the thermal sensory system may rival those achieved with vibrotactile inputs. To date, thermal icon studies have only used the temporal properties of stimuli and not the spatial properties. A set of two experiments was conducted to examine how the spatial and …

Meso : a virtual musculature for humanoid motor control
Humanoid behavior requires a system with access to humanoid variables. Our humanoid robot, Cog, has two arms that are structurally similar to those of humans; however, the sensory system only provides a sense of strain and position. This thesis describes a model of the human energy metabolism that …

Performance analysis for lateral-line-inspired sensor arrays
… lateral line is a critical component of the fish sensory system, found to affect numerous aspects of behavior including maneuvering in complex fluid environments, schooling, prey tracking, and environment mapping. This sensory organ has no analog in modern ocean vehicles, despite its utility and …

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 …

Resource Allocation Using Touch And Audition
… that demand attention, processing, andencoding, sensory interference is possible at almost any level. Multiple Resource Theory (MRT) suggests that such interference may be avoided by drawing from separate pools of resources available when using different sensory channels, memory processes, and …

Regeneration of Hair Cell Epithelia in the Chick and Salamander
The acousticolateralis sensory system is characterized by a specific receptor cell type called the sensory hair cell and is found in all vertebrates. There are two types of hair cell sensory epithelia based on location: those of the inner ear, such as the organs for hearing and balance, and the …

Multi-Scale Structure and Dynamics of Visual Signaling in Drosophila Photoreceptor Cells
… in science today is how to understand complex systems. An emerging and promising approach makes the bold assumption that complex systems adhere to particular design principles. The power of this is that design principles by definition impose an intuitive nature on a system by presupposing …

The impact of neurolinguistic programming rapport skills training for registered nurses on one-on-one teaching of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome prevention
… interviewer and verbal communication follows the sensory system most preferred by the speaker. The study investigated the effect of NLP as a rapport builder and teaching technique in one-on-one nurse-client teaching transactions including client satisfaction with the relationship and retention of …

The Role of Temporal Distraction on Short-Term Memory and Delayed Recognition
… the translation of information from an external sensory experience into an internal representation. Once information has been translated into memory, there is little agreement regarding the cognitive structure of memory storage and maintenance. Baddeley (1966) developed a model based on a …

Regulation of the mobile genetic element ICEBs1 by a conserved repressor and anti-repressor
… chromosome. The SOS response and the RapI-Phrl sensory system activate ICEBsl gene expression, excision, and transfer by inactivating the ICEBsl repressor protein ImmR. Although ImmR is similar to many characterized phage repressors, we found that, unlike these repressors, inactivation of ImmR …

Bio-inspired acoustic sensors and systems - from biology to engineering exploiting feedback computation
In order to design sensors and systems that can be sensitive to small signal levels even when immersed by background noise, may require out-of-the-box thinking. Biology can provide inspiration to achieve that, allowing the engineering landscape to borrow interesting ideas with the aim to solve …

Spatial complexity as a factor in the experience of time duration
… and how the realm is experienced through the sensory system. Particular attention is directed in the primary hypothesis toward the possible influence of the spatio-environmental factor of complexity, especially visual complexity. Exploratory testing of complexity used 24 college students …

Aesthetic Redemption: Psychedelia, Film, and Walter Benjamin’s Sensory Revolution
… forces and the redemption of the human sensory system. It is through this aesthetic redemption that Benjamin posits the transcendence of the capitalist mode of production. This inquiry explores what appears to be the source of Benjamin’s redemptive aesthetic theory – the psychedelic drug …
