CMAC neural network has only one adjustable weight layer. Its first layer is fixed and maps input space to association vector through receptive fields. Receptive field of standard CMAC is in shape of square function of given width. Lot of research now is done around different shapes for receptive fields, and combination with other connectionist structures. This paper will deal with the topics o...

To elucidate the neural substrates of the receptive aspect of music, we measured regional cerebral blood ̄ow (rCBF) with positron emission tomography (PET) and simultaneously recorded the electroencephalogram (EEG) in eight normal volunteers. Compared with the rest condition, listening to music caused a signi®cant increase in EEG beta power spectrum (13±30 Hz) averaged over the posterior two th...

Receptive fields of 382 neurons in the pulvinar were investigated. The observed receptive fields were classified according to the neurons’ responses to stationary flashing light spots positioned in different parts of the receptive field. New receptive field types with multiple discharge centers were observed. Neurons with these receptive fields generally responded with multimodal discharges to ...

The present study investigated the relative contributions of experiential and ability factors to second language (L2) passage comprehension and L2 vocabulary retention. Participants included a cross section of 99 adult learners of Spanish as a foreign language enrolled in beginning through advanced level university Spanish courses. Participants completed a standardized reading proficiency test ...
