Cortical gamma oscillations in the 20- to 80-Hz range are associated with attentiveness and sensory perception and have strong connections to both cognitive processing and temporal binding of sensory stimuli. These gamma oscillations become synchronized within a few milliseconds over distances spanning a few millimeters in spite of synaptic delays. In this study using in vivo recordings and lar...

The high temporal resolution of fMRI allows to supplement the spatial analysis of the hemodynamic response to focal neuronal activation with a study of the temporal response in each region. Signal processing and time series analysis provide a number of tools for achieving this goal. This contribution suggests to apply a novel modelling technique to fMRI time series in order to estimate the temp...

Using the system dynamics methodology, we model the minimum viable product (MVP) approach to product development and examine the impact of release frequency, planning practices and committed reengineering capacity on software development outcomes. We leverage the organizational learning, Lean Startup, and Agile methodology literature to form the underpinnings of the model and measure outcomes u...

ASpace applications of telerobots are characterized by significant communication delays between operator commands and resulting robot actions at a remote site. A high degree of telepresence is also desired to enable operators to safely conduct teleoperation tasks. This paper provides tools for quantifying teleoperation system performance and stability when communication delays are present. A ge...

Monostability and multistability are proven to be two important topics in synthesis biology and system biology. In this paper, both monostability and multistability are analyzed in a unified framework by applying control theory and mathematical tools. The genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with multiple time-varying delays and different types of regulation functions are considered. By putting f...

| This paper proposes an eecient, fair, and simple capacity{1 protocol replacing fddi. In the recent years, two network protocols gained predominance in very fast Local and in Metropolitan Area Networks: fddi and dqdb. The fddi ring{protocol combination is well-suited for large local (\campus") area networks. However , for larger networks, fddi users suuer excessive access delays, even under ve...

This paper proposes a control framework that addresses the destabilizing effect of communication time delays and system uncertainties in telerobotics, in the presence of force feedback. Force feedback is necessary to obtain transparency, which is providing the human operator as close a feel as possible of the environment where the slave robot is operating. Achieving stability and providing tran...
