Recent research has demonstrated that memory for words elicits left hemisphere activation, faces right hemisphere activation, and nameable objects bilateral activation. This pattern of results was attributed to dual coding of information, with the left hemisphere employing a verbal code and the right a nonverbal code. Nameable objects can be encoded either verbally or nonverbally and this accou...

Optimal sensor placement OSP technique plays a key role in the structural health monitoring SHM of large-scale structures. Based on the criterion of the OSP for the modal test, an improved genetic algorithm, called “generalized genetic algorithm GGA ”, is adopted to find the optimal placement of sensors. The dual-structure coding method instead of binary coding method is proposed to code the so...

The applicability of techniques in coding theory to problems in cryptography is illustrated by examples concerning secret-sharing schemes with tailored access priveleges, the design of perfect local randomizers, the construction of t-resilient functions, and the quantization of the nonlinearity of boolean functions. Some novel coding concepts, in particular the notions of minimal codewords in l...

A survey of self-dual codes, written for the Handbook of Coding Theory. Self-dual codes are important because many of the best codes known are of this type and they have a rich mathematical theory. Topics covered in this chapter include codes over

There is little doubt that predictive coding is an important mechanism in language processing-indeed, in information processing generally. However, it is less clear whether the action system is the source of such predictions during perception. Here I summarize the computational problem with motor prediction for perceptual processes and argue instead for a dual-stream model of predictive coding.

Computer training is vital for improving user interaction with a system. Prior research on computer training indicates that behavior modeling is highly effective for computer skill acquisition and can be further improved by incorporating symbolic coding processes. Building upon dual coding theory, our study proposes two new coding strategies, imagery coding and procedural coding, and examines t...
