in past, the relationship between traditional learning theories and neurophysiological theories wasn’t a close relationship. recently, new findings in neurological sciences showed relatively simple neuron mechanisms for somewhat complicated learning events, for example observational learning, one of which is mirror neurons. these neurons show that how the brain registers the activity observed a...

Gravitational wave detectors, such as KAGRA, require complex mirror suspension systems to reach high sensitivity. One particular concern in these suspensions is the presence of crackling noise, where motion steel crystal structure disturbs material defects, causing impulse force release and exciting motion. Crackling Geometric Anti Spring filters (GAS) KAGRA's system could introduce noise gravi...

We challenge Cook et al.'s claim about the vagueness of the notion of action understanding in relation with mirror neurons. We show the multidimensional nature of action understanding and provide a definition of motor-based action understanding, shedding new light on the various components of action understanding and on their relationship. Finally, we propose an alternative perspective on the o...

The key objective of the presented study was to use a commercially feasible and scalable approach modifying surfaces reduce friction. In an industrial setting, surface grinding is viable as compared other processes like laser texturing, plasma, or ion beam milling. Frictional force plots are generated from lubricated contact interface between flat-faced aluminum pin reciprocating stainless stee...

Claims to have identified mirror neurons in human cortex have been controversial. A recent study has applied an fMRI adaptation protocol to the problem and come up with novel evidence for the existence of movement-selective mirror neurons in human cortex.

Are you sitting down? Of the four rate parts, the MBS price and delivery fees are the only constant between all lenders. All mortgage lenders get the same MBS pricing and all mortgage lenders are using the same delivery fee rules, so the only difference in rates should be based on the lender’s performance – right? It should be, but it doesn’t work that way in reality, which can lead to unhappy ...
