UNLABELLED The reverse hierarchy theory (Hochstein and Ahissar, 2002) makes strong, but so far untested, predictions on conscious vision. In this theory, local details encoded in lower-order visual areas are unconsciously processed before being automatically and rapidly combined into global information in higher-order visual areas, where conscious percepts emerge. Contingent on current goals, l...

Studies by various authors suggest that higher-order networks can be more powerful and are biologically more plausible with respect to the more traditional multilayer networks. These architectures make explicit use of nonlinear interactions between input variables in the form of higher-order units or product units. If it is known a priori that the problem to be implemented possesses a given set...

Abstract In the present work we investigate Newtonian limit of higher-derivative gravity theories with more than four derivatives in action, including non-analytic logarithmic terms resulting from one-loop quantum corrections. The first part paper deals occurrence curvature singularities metric classical models. It is shown that case local theories, even though scalars are regular, invariants i...
