The thermodynamics of human reaction times [PDF]
I present a new approach for the interpretation of reaction time (RT) data from behavioral experiments. From a physical perspective, the entropy of the RT distribution provides a model-free estimate of the amount of processing performed by the cognitive ...

Abstract Volcanoes produce a variety of seismic signals and, therefore, continuous seismograms provide crucial information for monitoring the state of a volcano. According to their source mechanism and signal properties, seismo‐volcanic signals can be categorized into distinct classes, which works particularly well for short transients.

Accelerating sparse restricted Boltzmann machine training using non-Gaussianity measures [PDF]
In recent years, sparse restricted Boltzmann machines have gained popularity as unsupervised feature extractors. Starting from the observation that their training process is biphasic, we investigate how it can be accelerated: by determining when it can ...

Of `Cocktail Parties' and Exoplanets
The characterisation of ever smaller and fainter extrasolar planets requires an intricate understanding of one's data and the analysis techniques used. Correcting the raw data at the 10^-4 level of accuracy in flux is one of the central challenges.

To address the problem that the traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) cannot fully extract the fault feature information in a single channel and the accuracy of hydraulic system fault diagnosis based on a single signal is not high, a fault diagnosis method combining dual‐channel CNN and improved D‐S evidence theory is proposed.

Generalized Skew-Normal Negentropy and Its Application to Fish Condition Factor Time Series
The problem of measuring the disparity of a particular probability density function from a normal one has been addressed in several recent studies. The most used technique to deal with the problem has been exact expressions using information measures ...

Life Is Simple—Biologic Complexity Is an Epiphenomenon
Life originated from unicellular organisms by circumventing the Second Law of Thermodynamics using the First Principles of Physiology, namely negentropy, chemiosmosis and homeostatic regulation of calcium and lipids. It is hypothesized that multicellular

Thermodynamics of adiabatic feedback control
We study adaptive control of classical ergodic Hamiltonian systems, where the controlling parameter varies slowly in time and is influenced by system's state (feedback). An effective adiabatic description is obtained for slow variables of the system.

Presentation of a New Formulation of Negentropy : 2nd Report, Description of Work by Negentropy
The concept of negentropy was introduced with the intention of physically describing such terms as information, order, non-equilibrium and potential of work. Negentropy according to the new definition which was proposed in the preceding report represents those terms more adequately than according to the former definition. Among those terms, this report
