Arabic digits are one of the most ubiquitous symbol sets in the world. While there have been many investigations into the neural processing of the semantic information digits represent (e.g. through numerical comparison tasks), little is known about the neural mechanisms which support the processing of digits as visual symbols. To characterise the component neurocognitive mechanisms which under...

The question of whether (and why) the digits of well-known constants of mathematics are statistically random in some sense has long fascinated mathematicians. Indeed, one prime motivation in computing and analyzing digits of π is to explore the age-old question of whether and why these digits appear “random.” The first computation on ENIAC in 1949 of π to 2037 decimal places was proposed by Joh...

Cell death accompanies the formation of free digits in birds and mammals. However, in species with webbing between the adult digits, little or no cell death occurs in the prospectively webbed region of the developing interdigit. Cell death does not occur during the formation of free digits in amphibians. In this paper we report that cell death accompanies the formation of the digits in snapping...

In spite of rapid evolution of electronic techniques, a number of large-scale applications continue to rely on the use of paper as the dominant medium. This is especially true for processing of bank checks. This paper examines the issue of reading the numerical amount field. In the case of checks, the segmentation of unconstrained strings into individual digits is a challenging task because of ...

This paper presents a new unsupervised learning approach with stacked autoencoder (SAE) for Arabic handwritten digits categorization. Recently, Arabic handwritten digits recognition has been an important area due to its applications in several fields. This work is focusing on the recognition part of handwritten Arabic digits recognition that face several challenges, including the unlimited vari...

The SNARC effect is the finding that left-hand responses are faster to small digits and right-hand responses are faster to large digits. I tested an episodic-retrieval account of the SNARC effect in which it is assumed that the response time varies as a function of the prior trial episodes available in working memory. Blocks of trials were constructed in which two digits were repeated 75% of th...

The process of transcribing a language represented in its spatial form graphical characters into symbolic representation is called handwriting recognition. Each script has collection or letters, often known as symbols, that all share the same fundamental shapes. Handwriting analysis aims to correctly identify input images before being analysed by various automated systems. Recent research image...
