Diagrams, Difference-Makers, nd Background Knowledge

difference ( Nd ) event - related potential

Frontal and temporal lobe sources for electrical activity associated with auditory controlled attention (negative difference, Nd) were sought for comparison with those reported to arise from the earlier detection of stimulus-change (mismatch negativity, MMN: Jemel et al. 2002). In two sessions a month apart (T1 and T2), 14 subjects were presented with a 3-tone oddball passively, then as a discr...

Clock Difference Diagrams

We sketch a BDD-like structure for representing unions of simple convex polyhedra, describing the legal values of a set of clocks given bounds on the values of clocks and clock differences.

Difference Decision Diagrams

This paper describes a new data structure, difference decision diagrams (DDDs), for representing a Boolean logic over inequalities of the form and where the variables are integer or real-valued. We give algorithms for manipulating DDDs and for determining functional properties (tautology, satisfiability, and equivalence). DDDs enable an efficient verification of timed systems modeled as, for ex...

Background Knowledge and Translation Ability

The international polygon of neurootological knowledge makers.

T he historical success of humans (i.e., Homo sapiens) is based on their senses and their interaction with their thoughts, their selves, and their actions in using their hands and their tools. Knowledge can be built up in individuals through many sensorial percepts and experiences that grow during a lifetime. Humans, who have a history of perhaps 3 million years in this world, also have develop...
