An anatomy of automatism

Medicine, Science and the Law, 2015
The automatism defence has been described as a quagmire of law and as presenting an intractable problem. Why is this so? This paper will analyse and explore the current legal position on automatism. In so doing, it will identify the problems which the case law has created, including the distinction between sane and insane automatism and the status of ...

Hypoglycaemia and automatism

Medicine, Science and the Law, 2015
Cognitive impairment unattended by subjective symptoms or objective signs is an uncommon but important consequence of hypoglycaemia. It can lead to a condition in which a patient behaves as an automaton in a manner totally alien to their usual personality and of which they have no recollection when their blood glucose level is restored to normal.

Automatism – A case of reality testing

Forensic Science International: Mind and Law, 2020
Automatism represents automatic behaviour, thereby eliminating concepts of actus rea and mens rea, as the perpetrator is not in voluntary control of his/her actions nor intent.

Automaticity, Automatization and Dyslexia

1999
Although automaticity as a theoretical concept has been subject to debate and evolution, there seems to be little doubt that it plays an important role in the development of basic skills like reading. It is fair to state that automaticity is the key feature of skilled reading.

Automaticity and automatic rhythms

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1971
Abstract The nature of the automatic process in cardiac pacemakers is discussed with special reference to the mechanism of diastolic depolarization in cardiac Purkinje fibers as investigated by the use of the voltage clamp technique. The major factors controlling cardiac automaticity—the sympathetic nerves, the vagi and overdrive suppression —are ...

The Nature of Mind and Human Automatism

Edinburgh medical journal, 1886
This book is a vindication of materialism, a very old subject, to which Dr Prince gives an appearance of novelty by freely quoting writers who air their views in the popular monthlies of the day. Old foes with new faces, not any the more terrible on that

Automaticity and Rationality

J. Autom. Lang. Comb., 2000
Automaticity is a measure of descriptional complexity for formal languages $L$, and measures how closely $L$ can be approximated by regular languages. I survey some of the known results and open problems on automaticity. I also discuss a measure which I call "rationality", and explain how it generalizes the well-known concept of linear complexity.

Automatization of nanotomography

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2007
An approach for automated nanotomography, a layer-by-layer imaging technique based on scanning probe microscopy (SPM), is presented. Stepwise etching and imaging is done in situ in a liquid cell of an SPM. The flow of etching and rinsing solutions after each etching step is controlled with solenoid valves which allow for an automated measuring protocol.
