The structure of coral reef habitat has a pronounced influence on the diversity, composition and abundance of reef-associated fishes. However, the particular features of the habitat that are most critical are not always known. Coral habitats can vary in many characteristics, notably live coral cover, topographic complexity and coral diversity, but the relative effects of these habitat character...

Topographic mapping offers a very flexible tool to inspect large quantities of high-dimensional data in an intuitive way. Often, electronic data are inherently non Euclidean and modern data formats are connected to dedicated non-Euclidean dissimilarity measures for which classical topographic mapping cannot be used. We give an overview about extensions of topographic mapping to general dissimil...

A recent study from our laboratory has provided evidence for the generation of slow potentials occurring in anticipation to task-performance feedback stimuli, in multiple association cortical areas, consistently including two prefrontal areas. In the present study, we intended to determine whether these slow potentials would indicate some abnormality (topographic) in schizophrenic patients, and...
