Modeling Reverse-Phi Motion-Selective Neurons in Cortex: Double Synaptic-Veto Mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Reverse-phi motion is the illusory reversal of perceived direction of movement when the stimulus contrast is reversed in successive frames. Livingstone, Tsao, and Conway (2000) showed that direction-selective cells in striate cortex of the alert macaque ...

Does opportunistic testing bias cognitive performance in primates? Learning from drop-outs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Dropouts are a common issue in cognitive tests with non-human primates. One main reason for dropouts is that researchers often face a trade-off between obtaining a sufficiently large sample size and logistic restrictions, such as limited access to ...

Evaluation of a user‐friendly CSDS cage apparatus for studying depressive‐like behaviors in rodents

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine
Background Previously, a chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model has been widely‐adopted for assessing depressive‐like behaviors in animals. However, there is still room for improvement in the CSDS model to safeguard study accuracy and the welfare of ...

Effects of Surgeon-Preferred Staff and Staff Turnover on Operating Time and Complication Rates in Reverse and Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

open access: yesJAAOS: Global Research and Reviews
Background: This study focuses on investigating the risk factors of increased operating room time and patient complication rates after total shoulder arthroplasty cases (both reverse and anatomic). We hypothesize that the use of surgeon-preferred staff will improve operating room efficiency and reduce complication rates while ...

A vague theory of choice over time [PDF]

open access: yes
We propose a novel approach to modelling time preferences, based on a cognitive shortcoming of human decision makers: the perception of future events becomes increasingly `blurred' as the events are pushed further in time. Our model explains behavioural `

Flexibility of the N-Terminal mVDAC1 Segment Controls the Channel’s Gating Behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Since the solution of the molecular structures of members of the voltage dependent anion channels (VDACs), the N-terminal α-helix has been the main focus of attention, since its strategic location, in combination with its putative conformational ...

Detail Enhanced Multi-Exposure Image Fusion Based On Edge Preserving Filters

open access: yesELCVIA Electronic Letters on Computer Vision and Image Analysis, 2018
Recent computational photography techniques play a significant role to overcome the limitation of standard digital cameras for handling wide dynamic range of real-world scenes contain brightly and poorly illuminated areas. In many of such techniques [1,2,

Proposition structure in framed decision problems: A formal representation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Framing effects, which may induce decision-makers to demonstrate preference description invariance violation for logically equivalent options varying in semantic emphasis, are an economically significant decision bias and an active area of research ...

Time Inconsistency, Sophistication, and Commitment An Experimental Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We experimentally study the relationship between time inconsistency, sophistication about time inconsistency, and self-commitment. Previous research has interpreted demand for commitment devices as evidence for the sophistication of a time-inconsistent ...
