Alzheimer's & Dementia, 2023
AbstractBackgroundBlacks experience the greatest burden of racism and are twice as likely to have Alzheimer’s or other dementias as Whites in addition to higher rates of cognitive decline which acts as an early warning sign for these clinical outcomes (Discrimination in America Report, 2018; Alzheimer’s Disease Facts & Figures, 2023). Examining the

Preschoolers out of adults: Discriminative learning with a cognitive load
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2006This paper explores novel predictions from the spontaneous overtraining interpretation of human discrimination shift learning (Sirois & Shultz, 1998a). Results from six experiments where adults perform a discrimination shift task with or without a cognitive distractor are reported. In three experiments with a concurrent distractor task (Experiments

Use of ANN and Complexity Measures in Cognitive EEG Discrimination
2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005The purpose of this paper is to apply BP ANN to the discrimination of three kinds of subjects (clinical diagnosed 62 schizophrenic patients, 48 depressive patients and 26 normal controls) respectively in resting state with eyes closed and three cognitive tasks, with EEG complexity measures used as feature vectors. EEG activity is recorded from 16 scalp

Cognitive radios: Discriminant analysis finds the free space
2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings, 2012Spectrum sensing is an essential pre-processing step for cognitive radio technology. This paper presents a novel method to detect the significant spectral components in measured nonflat spectra, and to estimate the magnitude of the spectral components. Furthermore, the probability that the spectral component was incorrectly classified is available. The

Cognitive processes in two-point discrimination: an ERP study
Clinical Neurophysiology, 2004To elucidate the temporal features of the cognitive process in two-point discrimination (TPD).We measured somatosensory event-related potentials (ERPs) in 9 subjects during the TPD task, in which we provided a pair of electrical pulses simultaneously, altering the distance between the electrodes.
