Exploring how distance and duration information contributes to speed change discrimination

Discrimination Contours for Moving Sounds Reveal Duration and Distance Cues Dominate Auditory Speed Perception

Evidence that the auditory system contains specialised motion detectors is mixed. Many psychophysical studies confound speed cues with distance and duration cues and present sound sources that do not appear to move in external space. Here we use the 'discrimination contours' technique to probe the probabilistic combination of speed, distance and duration for stimuli moving in a horizontal arc a...

How System Models Contributes to the Design of Information Systems

Systemics is a discipline which has transdisciplinary characteristics; it shares its foundations with other scientific disciplines. This paper argues that the principles and methodologies of Systemics enrichs Information Systems Engineering (ISE). Thus ISE could be consider as a sub-domain of Systemics. The most relevant ISE’s objetive is to obtain succesful information systems (IS). Hence, it ...

How Hepatitis C Virus Infection Contributes to Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review

Relations between Renyi Distance and Fisher Information

In this paper, we first show that Renyi distance between any member of a parametric family and its perturbations, is proportional to its Fisher information. We, then, prove some relations between the Renyi distance of two distributions and the Fisher information of their exponentially twisted family of densities. Finally, we show that the partial ordering of families induced by Renyi dis...

Assessing the Behavioral Reaction of Investors to the Price Change Using the Speed of Price Adjustment Approach to the General Information and Its Relation with Future Return

In Recent Decades, The Financial Sphere has entered a New Era of Contempt for Some of the Assumptions of Modern Economics and Finance. One of These Assumptions is the Rationale of the Investors, which has been Seriously Challenged and Is Now Being Strengthened by the Fact That Prices are Determined more by Attitudes and Psychological Factors than for Fundamental Variables and Therefore the Stud...
