Integrating k-means Clustering and LSTM for Enhanced Ship Heading Prediction in Oblique Stern Wave
The stability of navigation in waves is crucial for ships, and the effect of the waves on navigation stability is complicated. Hence, the LSTM neural network technique is applied to predict the course changing of a ship in different wave conditions ...

Suppression of motion vision during course-changing, but not course-stabilizing, navigational turns [PDF]
From mammals to insects, locomotion has been shown to strongly modulate visual-system physiology. Does the manner in which a locomotor act is initiated change the modulation observed? We performed patch-clamp recordings from motion-sensitive visual neurons in tethered, flying Drosophila.
