Objective: A pilot study was conducted to determine whether untrained examiners could agree on palpatory findings in the cervical spine. Design: Fifty-three university students, (most of whom were chiropractic students), had their cervical spines examined by seven different chiropractors using their own clinical methods, of which motion palpation was a common, but not standard component. Settin...

14 NOTICES OF THE AMS VOLUME 50, NUMBER 1 I mage processing, traditionally an engineering field, has attracted the attention of many mathematicians during the past two decades. From the point of view of vision and cognitive science, image processing is a basic tool used to reconstruct the relative order, geometry, topology, patterns, and dynamics of the three-dimensional (3-D) world from two-di...

Spatiotemporally organized waves are among the most ubiquitous activity patterns in the brain. Recent advances in electrophysiology, imaging, and other technologies allow experimentalists to observe these activity patterns simultaneously in the responses of many individual neurons and in the ensemble response of the neural circuit, both in vivo (the whole animal/subject) and in vitro (e.g., cul...

Neurons have been classified by their firing properties and by their differing dendritic characteristics, architectures, and biophysical properties, suggesting the existence of design principles and computational goals. From a classical viewpoint, dendrites provide the pathways that funnel the many subthreshold postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) toward the soma, where the propagated–summated result...
