How does the human brain deal with uncertainty?

How does the brain deal with the social world?

It is only relatively recently that the search for the biological basis of social cognition has started. It is still unknown just how biological factors, from genes to brain processes, interact with environmental variables to produce individual differences in social competence and in pathology of social communication. It may seem over-ambitious to work out how connections can be made between so...

How does the chromatin fiber deal with topological constraints?

In the nuclei of eukaryotic cells, DNA is packaged through several levels of compaction in an orderly retrievable way that enables the correct regulation of gene expression. The functional dynamics of this assembly involves the unwinding of the so-called 30 nm chromatin fiber and accordingly imposes strong topological constraints. We present a general method for computing both the twist and the...

How to Deal With

In the introduction to his book, Abanes presents eight questions that he hopes to answer concerning Christianity and Harry Potter throughout his books. Some of these include: “Are the Potter books harmless fantasy novels fit for adults and children alike? Or do they contain spiritually dangerous material that could ultimately lead youth down the road to occultism? Does J.K. Rowling present a “m...

How to Deal with Difficulty and Uncertainty in the Outdoor Trajectory Planning with Fast Marching

This paper presents an interesting technique for finding the trajectory of an outdoor robot. This technique applies Fast Marching to a 3D surface terrain represented by a triangular mesh in order to calculate a smooth trajectory between two points. The method uses a triangular mesh instead of a square one because this kind of grid adapts better to 3D surfaces. The novelty of this approach is th...
