The naive credal classifier (NCC) extends naive Bayes classifier (NBC) to imprecise probabilities to robustly deal with the specification of the prior; NCC models a state of ignorance by using a set of priors, which is formalized by Walley’s Imprecise Dirichlet Model (IDM). NCC has been shown to return more robust classification than NBC. However, there are particular situations (which we preci...

The last years have seen a rise of interest in using electroencephalography-based brain computer interfacing methodology for investigating non-medical questions, beyond the purpose of communication and control. One of these novel applications is to examine how signal quality is being processed neurally, which is of particular interest for industry, besides providing neuroscientific insights. As...

Introduction We all know what it is like to be conscious, to be aware of something, to be aware of ourselves. However, even though there is this consensus and even though most would agree that consciousness is intimately related to brain functions, a universally accepted definition is still lacking. It is one of the goals of cognitive neuroscience to arrive at a better characterization of consc...

g0005 Neural correlates of consciousness – They are defined by Christoph Koch as ‘‘The minimal set of neuronal mechanisms or events jointly sufficient for a specific conscious percept or experience.’’ They allow to avoid the difficult problem of directly looking for neural bases. g0010 Panpsychism – Reflects the philosophical doctrine that everything (in Greek, ‘pan’) has a mind (‘psyche’) and ...

Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing Images Hua-mei Chen Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX 76019, USA Pramod K. Varshney and Manoj K. Arora Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13244 Abstract Accurate registration of multi-temporal remote sensing images is essential for various change de...

In this paper we present an algorithm for fast calculation of the normalized cross correlation NCC and its applica tion to the problem of template matching Given a template t whose position is to be determined in an image f the basic idea of the algorithm is to represent the template for which the normalized cross correlation is calculated as a sum of rectangular basis functions Then the correl...

This paper introduces the system of Word Segmentation and analyzes its evaluation results in the Fourth SIGHAN Bakeoff . A novel method has been used in the system, which main idea is: firstly, the main problems of WS have been classified, and then a cascaded model has been used to gradually optimize the system. The core of this WS system is the segmentation of ambiguous words and the internal ...

Introduction An understanding of the pathways to psychiatric care is critically important as a means of informing national policy and re-directing the meager resources towards better management of psychiatric patients. Since pathways to psychiatric care in South India are poorly understood we conducted a study in Mysore, South India to determine the various pathways to Psychiatric care. The aim...

Persistent activity has been identified as a neural correlate of working memory [J. M. Fuster and G. E. Alexander, Science, 173 (1971), pp. 652–654; S. Funahashi, C. J. Bruce, and P. S. GoldmanRakic, J. Neurophysiol., 61 (1989), pp. 331–349; P. S. Goldman-Rakic, Neuron, 14 (1995), pp. 477–485]. In neural field theory, stationary bumps are localized states of neural activity that have been used ...
