Information theory in the brain
Claude Shannon’s classic 1948 paper introduced a general theory for measuring the transmission of information from a source, across a noisy channel, to a receiver (Figure 1). This theory became known as information theory. Shannon illustrated his theory with such examples as messages sent over telegraph lines by Morse code. But the same principles can be applied to neurons: a neuron transmits i...
متن کاملCollaborative Information Seeking Behavior: Concepts and Theories
Background and Aim: Collaborative information seeking is an interaction among members of a group who purposefully try to access and share joint information. Although collaboration is a key component of information seeking behavior, but most of the studies in this area are focused on individual information seeking behavior and collaborative aspects are considered much less. As a result, there is...
متن کاملCharacterization of Vehicle Behavior with Information Theory
This work proposes the use of Information Theory for the characterization of vehicles behavior through their velocities. Three public data sets were used: i. Mobile Century data set collected on Highway I-880, near Union City, California; ii. Borlänge GPS data set collected in the Swedish city of Borlänge; and iii. Beijing taxicabs data set collected in Beijing, China, where each vehicle speed ...
متن کاملEpigenetic modifications of brain and behavior: theory and practice.
Evolutionary change is a product of selection. Selection operates on the phenotype, and its consequences are manifest in representation of the genotype in successive generations. Of particular interest to both evolutionary and behavioral biologists is the newly emerging field of epigenetics and behavior. Two broad categories of epigenetic modifications must be distinguished. Context-dependent e...
متن کاملHealth Information-Seeking Behavior of Pregnant Women: A Grounded Theory Study
Background and Aim: In studies of special groups’ information seeking behavior, there is not a complete understanding of pregnant women's information seeking process. The purpose is to gain a deeper understanding of health information seeking behavior of the pregnant women. Method: This is an applied qualitative method using Grounded Theory approach. Data were collected through semi- structured...
