Speech encoding by coupled cortical theta and gamma oscillations

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Many environmental stimuli present a quasi-rhythmic structure at different timescales that the brain needs to decompose and integrate. Cortical oscillations have been proposed as instruments of sensory de-multiplexing, i.e., the parallel processing of ...

Swimmer Assessment Model (SWAM): Expert System Supporting Sport Potential Measurement

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
A swimmer’s potential can be exploited to the full if an individual approach is applied to training early enough. In the initial stage of a competitor’s career, it is hard to say whether the person will reach the world level.

Homeostatic reinforcement learning for integrating reward collection and physiological stability

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Efficient regulation of internal homeostasis and defending it against perturbations requires adaptive behavioral strategies. However, the computational principles mediating the interaction between homeostatic and associative learning processes remain ...

Causation and decision: On Dawid’s “Decision theoretic foundation of statistical causality”

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2022
In a recent issue of this journal, Philip Dawid (2021) proposes a framework for causal inference that is based on statistical decision theory and that is, in many aspects, compatible with the familiar framework of causal graphs (e.g., Directed Acyclic ...

Optimization of a GIS sensor layout based on global detection probability distribution evaluation

open access: yesCognitive Computation and Systems, 2021
Gas‐insulated switchgear (GIS) is an important power equipment. The implementation of health monitoring is limited by the number of sensors, and the global detection results of the system should be highly credible to ensure the reliability of the power ...

The Development of a Theory of Rational Intertemporal Choice

open access: yesPapers, 2006
The aim of this article is to describe the evolution of a very dynamic theory: the theory of intertemporal choice. I present the first economic thinking on intertemporal decision-making, and expose how it resulted in Samuelson’s famous discounted utility

A general optimal adaptive framework for managing a threatened species

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Managers must determine which interventions best protect threatened species when the outcomes of interventions are uncertain. Adaptive management is a dynamic optimization approach that generates optimal management actions based on current knowledge ...
