Shedding Light on Local Organizational Principles in the Primary Sensory Cortex
December 2006 | Volume 4 | Issue 12 | e418 Most governments around the world set conservation policy based on the assumption that resource exploitation and species protection can co-exist in the same place. These policies have led to Orwellian “marine protected areas” that host commercial fi shing operations, leading one to wonder who’s protecting whom. A new study reveals the danger of this ap...
متن کاملMultisensory Integration in Cortex Shedding Light on Prickly Issues
Interactions between different sensory modalities can be observed in unimodal areas of the cortex, as revealed by recent neuroimaging studies. A new report by Macaluso and colleagues ( [this issue of Neuron]) shows that crossmodal effects of tactile stimulation in visual cortex critically depend on the spatial congruence of multisensory inputs. This work is discussed in relation to neural and c...
متن کاملShedding Light on Light*
There are four books describing early studies and views on light, optics and vision that are considered to be landmarks in this branch of science. The first of these is Euclid’s Optica, published about 300BC, in which he postulated that light travelled in straight lines; he described the laws of reflection and described them mathematically. The second is by Ptolemy. He is best known for his 15 ...
متن کاملShedding Light on the Weather
Virtually all methods in image processing and computer vision, for removing weather effects from images, assume single scattering of light by particles in the atmosphere. In reality, multiple scattering effects are significant. A common manifestation of multiple scattering is the appearance of glows around light sources in bad weather. Modeling multiple scattering is critical to understanding t...
متن کاملShedding light on NSOM.
I took patience and hard work. Now, finally, researchers are seeing some sunshine break through what was once a cloudy beginning for near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Paul Barbara of the University of Texas–Austin (UT– Austin) is among a group of analytical chemists who have a deep respect for this tool and see it as a technique ripe with potential, ranging from chemistry to physic...
