DASTWAR: a tool for completeness estimation in magnitude-size plane
Today, great observatories around the world, devote a substantial amount of observing time to sky surveys. The resulted images are inputs of source finder modules. These modules search for the target objects and provide us with source catalogues. We sought to quantify the ability of detection tools in recovering faint galaxies regularly encountered in deep surveys. Our approach was based on com...
متن کاملNumerical and Non-numerical Magnitude Estimation
Despite a heated debate regarding a cognitive mechanism of magnitude representation, little has been done to directly compare numerical and non-numerical estimation and provide a unified account of the two processes. In the current study, we examined estimation of numerical and non-numerical quantities on a continuum using various psychophysical functions. Inconsistent with the proportion reaso...
متن کاملActive Sensing: Matching Motor and Sensory Space
A recent study has shown that, unusually, both the sensory and motor capabilities of an electric fish are omnidirectional. This matching of motor and sensory spaces helps the fish to hunt prey efficiently - particularly important given their energetically costly active sensory system.
متن کاملSensory integration of apparent motion speed and vibration magnitude
Tactile apparent motion can display directional information in an intuitive way. It can for example be used to give directions to visually impaired individuals, or for waypoint navigation while cycling on busy streets, when vision or audition should not be loaded further. However, although humans can detect very short tactile patterns, discriminating between similar motion speeds has been shown...
متن کاملSensory Integration and Density Estimation
The integration of partially redundant information from multiple sensors is a standard computational problem for agents interacting with the world. In man and other primates, integration has been shown psychophysically to be nearly optimal in the sense of error minimization. An influential generalization of this notion of optimality is that populations of multisensory neurons should retain all ...
