Neurons in sparkling space: scientific objectivity and ‘blurry’ images in neuroscience

Objectivity in scientific publication

Scientific Objectivity and Psychiatric Nosology

This paper challenges the traditional conception of objectivity in science by arguing that its singular focus on evidential relations and search for aperspectivalism renders it inadequate. Through an examination of psychiatric nosology, I argue that interesting and unique problems arise that challenge this conception of objectivity and that these challenges cannot be met by this account.

Scientific Objectivity and Framework Transpositions

Objectivity , and Triangular Space

The author reviews his ideas on subjectivity, objectivity, and the third position in the psychoanalytic encounter, particularly in clinical work with borderline and narcissistic patients. Using the theories of Melanie Klein and Wilfred Bion as a basis, the author describes his concept of triangular space. A case presentation of a particular type of narcissistic patient illustrates the principle...

Subpixel Edge Detection in Blurry and Noisy Images

This paper considers the problem of subpixel edge detection. In particular, a new reconstructive approach is introduced. The method determines subpixel edge position based on the properties of the Gaussian function used for modeling gradient profile at the edge. The results showing the robustness of the new method against averaging, Gaussian blur and Gaussian noise are presented. In all the exp...
