Introduction to the Computational Neuroscience Special Section

Introduction to a special section of developmental social cognitive neuroscience.

The articles in this special section offer a sample of the state of the art in an exploding new field. Noninvasive neuroimaging techniques, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalograms (EEG), and functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), are increasingly being used to study development in infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Applying these tools to th...

Human Ecology Review, Vol. 16, No. 1, 2009 © Society for Human Ecology The collection of articles for this special section is primarily the result of a symposium organized by Dr. Tom Dietz that took place at the XIV International Conference of the Society for Human Ecology. The symposium as well as this collection of papers represents a unique cross-section of scholars at various stages in thei...

Introduction to the Special Section

ystem identification refers broadly to the problem of developing empirical mathematical models of systems based on excitation and response measurements. Such models are useful for enhancing physical understanding; analyzing system properties; and performing simulation, prediction, filtering, state estimation, monitoring, and fault diagnosis as well as control. Practical interest in system ident...

Introduction to the Special Section

I F we consider Zuse’s Plankalktil the first programming language, research on computer languages is about half a century old now. During this period, languages have always been in the mainstream of computer science research. The focus of the research has perhaps shifted somewhat from efficiency (1950s) to expressivity (196Os), portability (197Os), and handling complexity (198Os), but the inter...
