The neuronal activity in the primary somatosensory cortex was collected when monkeys performed a haptic-haptic DMS task. We found that, in trials with correct task performance, a substantial number of cells showed significant differential neural activity only when the monkeys had to make a choice between two different haptic objects. Such a difference in neural activity was significantly reduce...

Quantum models of higher level brain functions such as conscious experience, suggest that the neural correlate of mentation requires dynamical properties instantiated at the Planck-scale. Several candidate quantum processes have been suggested, but it remains to be seen how these quantum properties can relate to the established classical signals in the brain involving physical action twenty mag...

27 28 The neural correlates of consciousness are typically sought by comparing the overall brain 29 responses to perceived and unperceived stimuli. However, this comparison may be 30 contaminated by non-specific attention, alerting, performance and reporting confounds. 31 Here, we pursue a novel approach, tracking the neuronal coding of consciously and 32 unconsciously perceived contents while ...

Many organizations have the mission of assessing the quality of broadband access services offered by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). They deploy network probes that periodically perform network measures towards selected Internet services. By analyzing the data collected by the probes it is often possible to gain a reasonable estimate of the bandwidth made available by the ISP. However, it is...

background: as the third most frequent cause of cancer death, breast cancer is a common disease worldwide. most of the patients are being diagnosed in the stage that conventional treatments are not effective, and invasion and metastases lead to death. therefore, identification of novel molecular markers to improve early diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the breast cancer is a necessity. zin...

background: hypertension is fast emerging as a major health problem amongst all school adolescents, particularly in urban areas. regular screening of the students for this is required for preventing the emergence of complications later in life. therefore,the present study was undertaken with the objective to determine the prevalence of hypertension amongst urban school adolescents and its corre...

The traditional NCC algorithm has considerable computational burden, but is with high rate of matching accuracy when people use it in image matching. The PCA algorithm has high matching speed and can be anti-interference when it is used in image matching. Based on experiment, we propose one improved algorithm which can greatly reduce the matching time as well as get high rate of matching accuracy.

A correlation map shows the correlation between an image region and another image computed at the neighbourhood of each point of the second image. Most cross-correlation techniques fail when the viewpoint rotation grows over a certain value, usually around 20 degrees. The approach presented here aims at resolving this problem and at the same time provide an estimate of the actual rotation. This...

In a wireless network it is very important to provide the network security and quality of service. To achieve these parameters there must be proper traffic classification in the wireless network. There are many algorithms used such as port number, deep packet inspection as the earlier methods and now days KISS, nearest cluster based classifier (NCC), SVM method and used to classify the traffic ...
