Cortical neurons remap their receptive fields and rescale sensitivity to spared peripheral inputs following sensory nerve damage. To address how these plasticity processes are coordinated over the course of functional recovery, we tracked receptive field reorganization, spontaneous activity, and response gain from individual principal neurons in the adult mouse auditory cortex over a 50-day per...

Recent research has identified neurons in the visual system that remap their receptive fields before a saccade. The activity of these neurons may signal a prediction of postsaccadic visual input, derived from an efference copy of saccadic motor output. Such a prediction is often thought to underlie our perception of a stable visual world, by compensating for the shifts in retinal image that acc...

Recent neurophysiological research in the monkey has revealed bimodal neuronal cells with both tactile receptive fields on the hand and visual receptive fields that follow the hands as they move, suggesting the existence of a bimodal map of visuotactile space. Using a cross-modal congruency task, we examined the representation of visuotactile space in normal people and in a split-brain patient ...

ion in Rationale Models. The design goal of KBSA-ADM was to offer a coherent series of rationale models based on results of the REMAP project (Ramesh and Dhar 1992) for maintaining rationale at different levels of detail. Figure 19: Simple Rationale Model The model sketched in Figure 19 is used for capturing rationale at a simple level of detail. It links an OBJECT with its RATIONALE. The model...

The last two decades have seen a remarkable shift in the neurorehabilitation paradigm. Neuroscientists and clinicians moved away from the perception that the brain is static and hardwired to a new dynamic understanding that plasticity is a fundamental property of the adult human brain and might be harnessed to remap or create new neural pathways. Capitalizing on this innovative understanding, t...

We propose a novel technique for reducing the power consumed by the on-chip cache on SNUCA chip multicore platform. This is achieved by what we call a “remap table”, which maps accesses to the cache banks that are as close as possible to the cores, on which the processes are scheduled. With this technique, instead of using all the available cache, we use a portion of the cache and allocate less...

Both Gray code and binary code are frequently used in mapping arrays into hypercube architectures. While the former is preferred when communication between adjacent array elements is needed, the latter is preferred for FFT-type communication. When di erent phases of computations have di erent types of communication patterns, the need arises to remap the data. We give a nearly optimal algorithm ...

The phenomenon of visual stability is classically explained by an internal forward model predicting the sensory consequences of an eye movement based on efference copy. However, this model cannot explain why some object displacements go undetected, a phenomenon that may depend on a passive prior belief that the world is stable. With reverse correlation, we investigated saccadic suppression of d...
