متن کاملApple Tasting
We use two transformations to relate the apple tasting model to an enhanced standard model where false acceptances are counted separately from false rejections. We apply our results to obtain a good generalpurpose apple tasting algorithm as well as nearly optimal apple tasting algorithms for a variety of standard classes, such as conjunctions and disjunctions of n boolean variables. We also pre...

This overview reviews various varieties of synesthesia and describes a general brain mechanism as the result of inheriting a genetic mutation for hyperconnectivity among brain areas. The automatic sensory joining of perceptual synesthesia is contrasted to deliberate contrivances and metaphor, the former being involuntary, spatially extended, durable and generic, memorable, and affect laden. Dem...
