The association between gender equality and climate adaptation across the globe
BMC Public HealthIntroduction Climate change has a disproportionate impact on women in comparison to men, and women have a key role to play in climate adaptation. However, evidence is lacking on how gender inequalities may be associated with climate vulnerability and ...

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2020 Single neurons can dynamically change the gain of their spiking responses to take into account shifts in stimulus variance. Moreover, gain adaptation can occur across multiple timescales.

Adaptive Neural Coding Dependent on the Time-Varying Statistics of the Somatic Input Current [PDF]
, 1999 It is generally assumed that nerve cells optimize their performance to reflect the statistics of their input. Electronic circuit analogs of neurons require similar methods of self-optimization for stable and autonomous operation.

Adaptive stabilization without high-gain [PDF]
, 2006 During the last few years there has been a very intense discussion on the applicability of adaptive control and on ‘standard assumptions’ made in the traditional theory. Some years ago, the question of what is really the relevant information needed for successful adaptive control was starting to receive some attention.

Adaptive Human Control Gains during Precision Grip [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013 Eight human test subjects attempted to track a desired position trajectory with an instrumented manipulandum (MN). The test subjects used the MN with three different levels of stiffness. A transfer function was developed to represent the human application of a precision grip from the data when the test subjects initially displaced the MN so as to ...

Spectral tuning of adaptation supports coding of sensory context in auditory cortex.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2019 Perception of vocalizations and other behaviorally relevant sounds requires integrating acoustic information over hundreds of milliseconds. Sound-evoked activity in auditory cortex typically has much shorter latency, but the acoustic context, i.e., sound

Properties of selected mutations and genotypic landscapes under Fisher's Geometric Model
, 2014 The fitness landscape - the mapping between genotypes and fitness - determines properties of the process of adaptation. Several small genetic fitness landscapes have recently been built by selecting a handful of beneficial mutations and measuring fitness
