Information Transmission in Debate
American Journal of Political Science, 1990The paper considers the informational role of legislative debate, modeled as "cheap-talk." In such circumstances, can debate affect legislative decisions? Through a series of examples, based on an endogenous agenda-setting model of legislative decision making, I argue (I) that debate can only affect outcomes when the legislators' underlying preferences

Transmission of information: An overview
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1981AbstractThis article starts by discussing the basic principles of, and fundamental limitations encountered in, the transmission of information. A review of different types of networks is presented next, followed by a discussion of two relatively recent transmission media, satellites and optical fibers, that are increasingly being used to implement the ...

Information transmission in evolution
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1968On the basis of a model previously established for the random-mutation portion of the synthetic theory of evolution, an investigation is made of the information that can be transmitted from the environment to the evolving species. The probability that a given adaptive character is produced decreases with increasing information measure of the adaptive ...

Information transmission and voting
Economic Theory, 2019I analyze an individual’s incentive to disclose hard evidence in the context of committee voting. A committee consists of three members: one left-leaning, one right-leaning, and the third ex ante unbiased. They decide on whether to pursue a left or right policy by majority rule.

Information transmission and redundancy
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics, 2012We consider a noisy communication channel in which discrete messages are transmitted by redundant digital signals. It is shown that the probability of true hypotheses can be arbitrarily close to unity if optimal coding is used and the signal-to-noise ratio exceeds the threshold value.

Neural information transmission
1976The long term evolutionary systems of genetic information transmission considered in the last chapter have culminated in the development of internal communication systems which animals can use for short term adaptation to their environments. Even the most primitive nervous system is a remarkably complex network of specialized cells, called neurons.

Internal Transmission of Information
2003Most biological processes require the coordination of activities at multiple locations. Thus, the activity of an individual cell usually occurs in coordination with the activity of other cells and larger assemblages of cells generally require compensation or support from other multicellular structures. This type of interrelated activity requires either

Optimal Information Transmission [PDF]
, 2015 This paper addresses the issue of how a given piece of information should be transmitted from a better-informed doctor to an ill-informed patient. The information to be transmitted is expressed as a probability distribution on a space of the patient’s possible health states.

Information Transmission Technologies
2014Distortion and noise are two major subjects in information transmission research. Essential requirements for a transmission system are low distortion caused by signal transmission and low additional noise as much as possible, which are the major measurement factors for channel performance.
