This paper analyzes the effects of jitter on the GPS and Galileo navigation signals. Jitter effects have usually been modelled as additive noise, based on a sinusoidal input signal, and limits the achievable Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). Analysis shows that psec-level jitter specifications are required in order to keep jitter noise well below the thermal noise for software radio satellite naviga...

Free recall is a fundamental paradigm for studying memory retrieval in the context of minimal cue support. Accordingly, free recall has been extensively studied using behavioral methods. However, the neural mechanisms that support free recall have not been fully investigated due to technical challenges associated with probing individual recall events with neuroimaging methods. Of particular con...

Human functional MRI (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies indicate a pitch-specific area in lateral Heschl's gyrus. Single-cell recordings in monkey suggest that sustained-firing, pitch-specific neurons are located lateral to primary auditory cortex. We reevaluated whether pitch strength contrasts reveal sustained pitch-specific responses in human auditory cortex. Sustained BOLD acti...

In the context of Diffserv networks some services should be characterized by end-to-end quantitative QoS guarantees. In order to provide such guarantees to single flows (or flow aggregates), the end-to-end analysis of delay and loss performance in a Diffserv domain is needed. The impact of jitter should be considered in the performance analysis at the successive nodes along the path of a flow (...

Recently, there have been remarkable advances in modeling the relationships between the sensory environment, neuronal responses, and behavior. However, most models cannot encompass variable stimulus-response relationships such as varying response latencies and state or context dependence of the neural code. Here, we consider response modeling as a dynamic alignment problem and model stimulus an...
