Paying Attention to Neurons with Discriminating Taste
Traditional theories of attention rely on the idea that when we search for a target in a visual display the brain boosts the activity of neurons optimally tuned for the target features. In this issue of Neuron, Navalpakkam and Itti take a computational approach to show that this strategy is actually very inefficient when the target is surrounded by distractors with similar features. Instead, th...
متن کاملCultivating Bacteria's Taste for Toxic Waste
August 2006 | Volume 4 | Issue 8 | e264 Among the wealth of microbial organisms inhabiting marine environments, cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are the most abundant photosynthetic cells. Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, the two most common cyanobacteria, account for 30% of global carbon fi xation (through the photosynthetic process in which sugars are manufactured from carbon dioxide and wa...
متن کاملDiscriminating qualitative model generation from classified data
Modeling is quite critical and remains a bottleneck for modelbased diagnosis in many application domains. Quantitative models that are developed during the design stage are not applicable as so to model-based diagnosis engines. This paper proposes to take advantage of discretization algorithms used by the machine learning community to discretize the domain value of continuous variables and gene...
متن کاملDiscriminating invasive fungal infection from colonization
We read with interest the article by Xie and colleagues reporting the impact of invasive fungal infection (IFI) on outcomes [1]. In a cohort of 318 intensive care unit patients with severe sepsis they found 90 patients with IFI (28.3%). Ninety-three per cent of the IFIs were caused by Candida species, 3% by Aspergillus species and 4% were unclassified. Predominant sites of infection were the lu...
متن کاملDiscriminating Animate from Inanimate Visual Stimuli
From as early as 6 months of age, human children distinguish between motion patterns generated by animate objects from patterns generated by moving inanimate objects, even when the only stimulus that the child observes is a single point of light moving against a blank background. The mechanisms by which the animate/inanimate distinction are made are unknown, but have been shown to rely only upo...
