Constructing Wedding Seating Plans: A Tabu Subject

This paper examines an interesting combinatorial optimisation problem that generalises both the graph colouring and k-partition problems. The problem has an interesting practical application in the construction of wedding seating plans, where we seek to assign equal numbers of guests to tables such that they are sat near friends and, perhaps more importantly, kept away from their enemies. We de...

Temporal album

Transient synchronization has been used as a mechanism of recognizing auditory patterns using integrate-and-fire neural networks. We first extend the mechanism to vision tasks and investigate the role of spike dependent learning. We show that such a temporal Hebbian learning rule significantly improves accuracy of detection. We demonstrate how multiple patterns can be identified by a single pat...

Volitional Inhibition and Brain–Machine Interfaces: A Mandatory Wedding

(reactive control), but also provides signals enabling the subject to adopt a response strategy which takes into account the context in which he or she operates. This form of cognitive control over response execution, named proactive control, adjusts the response selection and preparation process in anticipation of known task demands, driven by endogenous signals. Several lines of evidence indi...
