Quality-space theory in olfaction
Quality-space theory (QST) explains the nature of the mental qualities distinctive of perceptual states by appeal to their role in perceiving. QST is typically described in terms of the mental qualities that pertain to color. Here we apply QST to the olfactory modalities. Olfaction is in various respects more complex than vision, and so provides a useful test case for QST. To determine whether ...
متن کاملProbing Models of Quantum Space–Time Foam
We review the possibility that quantum fluctuations in the structure of space-time at the Planck scale might be subject to experimental probes. We study the effects of space-time foam in an approach inspired by string theory, in which solitonic D-brane excitations are taken into account when considering the ground state. We model the properties of this medium by analyzing the recoil of a D part...
متن کاملSpace time-index plots for probing dynamical nonstationarity
We propose a simple method to efficiently probe dynamical nonstationarity in observed time series. In a space time-index plot, the density distributions as a function of normalized time-index are V-shaped due to nonstationarity. We show that this method is workable for short data sets and typical examples are illustrated. c © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. PACS: 02.50.+s; 05.45.+b
متن کاملSpace-time Autocorrelation and Hubble Flow: Probing Small Length Scales in Heavy Ion Collisions
Two-particle momentum correlations have been applied extensively to the determination of particle source distributions and flow effects in nuclear collisions [1]. HBT interferometry employs variations of the detected pair intensity in a two-particle momentum space to estimate the conjugate space-time-momentum autocorrelation density of the emitting source. These established techniques depend di...
متن کاملLearning words in space and time: probing the mechanisms behind the suspicious-coincidence effect.
A major debate in the study of word learning centers on the extension of categories to new items. The rational approach assumes that learners make structured inferences about category membership, whereas the mechanistic approach emphasizes the attentional and memory processes that form the basis of generalization behaviors. Recent support for the rational view comes from observations of the sus...
