Monkey see, monkey do: contagious itch in nonhuman primates.
"Contagious itch" has been anecdotally reported and recently confirmed in a controlled setting in humans. Here, we investigated in adult rhesus macaques whether 'contagious itch' occurs spontaneously in monkeys. In a first experiment, the latency to scratch following cage-mate scratching was observed in pair-housed adult rhesus macaques. Scratching increased within the first 60 s and subsequent...
متن کاملHow autistics see the world
In their stimulating discussion of monkey communication and socialisation, Cheney & Seyfarth (C & S) mention autism as an example of the dissociation possible between social and nonsocial intelligence (p. 270). We would like to suggest that autism is also an important example for many of the other points raised in this excellent book. Although the authors suggest a parallel between vervet and n...
متن کاملHow Far Must You See To Hear Reliably
We consider the problem of probabilistic reliable communication (PRC) over synchronous networks modeled as directed graphs in the presence of a Byzantine adversary when players’ knowledge of the network topology is not complete. We show that possibility of PRC is extremely sensitive to the changes in players’ knowledge of the topology. This is in complete contrast with earlier known results on ...
متن کاملSpectral Riesz–Cesàro Means: How the Square Root Function Helps Us to See Around the World
The heat-kernel expansion for a nonanalytic function of a differential operator, and the integrated (Cesàro-smoothed) spectral densities associated with the corresponding nonanalytic function of the spectral parameter, exhibit a certain nonlocal behavior. Because of this phenomenon, care is needed in applying the pseudodifferential symbolic calculus to nonanalytic functions. We demonstrate this...
متن کاملHow Computerised Agents See the World
Agents, which are more or less autonomous programs performing tasks on behalf of users, act by exchange of messages. The content of messages is regulated by agreements called ontologies among the interoperating parties. In order for interoperation involving complex objects to be successful, there are several meta-ontological requirements, notably the ability to identify the object in the approp...
