Previous adaptation studies have revealed the tuning properties of mechanisms coding left-right averted gaze. Here, Experiment 1 used an adaptation procedure to investigate the mechanisms that encode vergent eye gaze. Following prolonged exposure to convergent or divergent gaze, observers were more likely to categorize smaller gaze deviations in the adapted direction as parallel (i.e., nonverge...

Adaptation to a moving visual pattern induces shifts in the perceived motion of subsequently viewed moving patterns. Explanations of such effects are typically based on adaptation-induced sensitivity changes in spatio-temporal frequency tuned mechanisms (STFMs). An alternative hypothesis is that adaptation occurs in mechanisms that independently encode direction and speed (DSMs). Yet a third po...

The delivery and adaptation of multimedia content in distributed and heterogeneous environments requires flexible control and management mechanisms in terminals and in control entities inside the network. In the near future, it is important to reach interoperability between the IETF approaches on multimedia session establishment and control and the MPEG-21 efforts for multimedia streaming and a...

The article shows that the current level of physiology does not disclose biological mechanisms organism transition from one range to adapt a higher with an increase in regular forces stimulus above sub-extreme. A new trend adaptation - proqredient adaptation, explains mechanism increasing tolerance organism, dependence on psychoactive substances (PAS ). It is scientifically proved, dependences ...

This paper introduces FARA, a framework that provides abstractions and mechanisms for building integrated adaptation and resource allocation services in complex real-time systems. FARA's design addresses (1) the speci cation of the adaptation capabilities of general-domain applications with multiple adaptive components and (2) the control of the adaptation impact on the satis ability of an appl...
