Semantic variability predicts neural variability of object concepts.
The prevailing approach to the neuroscientific study of concepts is to characterize the neural pattern evoked by a given concept, averaging over any variation that might occur upon multiple retrieval attempts (e.g., across time, tasks, or people). This approach-which diverges substantially from approaches to studying conceptual processing with other methods-treats all variation as noise. Here, ...
متن کاملNeural Variability Quenching Predicts Individual Perceptual Abilities.
Neural activity during repeated presentations of a sensory stimulus exhibits considerable trial-by-trial variability. Previous studies have reported that trial-by-trial neural variability is reduced (quenched) by the presentation of a stimulus. However, the functional significance and behavioral relevance of variability quenching and the potential physiological mechanisms that may drive it have...
متن کاملRange of variability Concepts
Objective: Provide an overview of range of variability (ROV) concepts and their application in landscape planning and management. Highlight the use of historic range of variability (HRV) in establishing context for the current landscape condition and its potential role in guiding specification of desired future landscape condition. Topics covered: 1. Origins of range of variability (ROV) concep...
متن کاملFunctional Embedding Predicts the Variability of Neural Activity
Neural activity is irregular and unpredictable, yet little is known about why this is the case and how this property relates to the functional architecture of the brain. Here we show that the variability of a region's activity systematically varies according to its topological role in functional networks. We recorded the resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) and constructed undirected graphs...
متن کاملVariability — Concepts and Patterns ∗
Most software-intensive systems rely on a componentbased design and are therefore made up of encapsulated structural units which are hierarchically composed of one another. In this paper, we (1) propose a scheme for rigorously managing variability in the context of such a compositional hierarchy, which consistently extends the paradigm of component-based design to variability management, (2) pr...
