Neighbourhood density effects in reading aloud: new insights from simulations with the DRC model.

A series of nine simulations with the Dual Route Cascaded (DRC) model (Coltheart, Rastle, Perry, Langdon, & Ziegler, 2001) investigated neighbourhood density (N) effects in nonword and word naming. Two main finding emerged from this work. First, when ...

Update on surgical simulation: the Ohio State University experience.

The authors discuss and review their experience with surgical simulation from early preoperative planning stations, to their involvement with functional endoscopic sinus surgery, to their current project. The future of such endeavors is ...

ECVAMs activities on computer modelling and integrated testing.

This paper introduces the basic concepts of quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), expert system and integrated testing strategy, and explains how the analogy between QSARs and prediction models leads naturally to criteria for the ...

Locality of global stochastic interaction in directed acyclic networks.

The hypothesis of invariant maximization of interaction (IMI) is formulated within the setting of random fields. According to this hypothesis, learning processes maximize the stochastic interaction of the neurons subject to constraints. We consider the ...

A system for automatic measurement of circadian activity deviations in telemedicine.

A system for the automatic measurement of the circadian activity deviations in telemedicine has been developed within the framework of a "Health Integrated Smart Home Information System" (HIS2). HIS2 is an experimental platform for the evaluation and the ...

A resampling approach to estimate the stability of one-dimensional or multidimensional independent components.

When applying unsupervised learning techniques in biomedical data analysis, a key question is whether the estimated parameters of the studied system are reliable. In other words, can we assess the quality of the result produced by our learning technique? ...

Comment on "Competition for consciousness among visual events: the psychophysics of reentrant visual processes" (Di Lollo, Enns, & Rensink, 2000).

V. Di Lolo, J. T. Enns, and R. A. Rensink (2000) reported properties of masking that they claimed were inconsistent with all current models. The current authors show, through computer simulation, that many current models can account for V. Di Lollo et ...

Training and educational approaches to minimally invasive surgery: state of the art.

Current training in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is inadequate given the demands of patients on practitioners and the number of surgeons and residents who still need to be trained. The training that is provided is neither widespread nor is it ...

A computational approach to control in complex cognition.

Cognitive deficits associated with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) damage are often most apparent in higher cognitive tasks that involve problem solving and managing multiple goals. However, computational models of prefrontal deficits on such ...
