V.6 BJ/NBJ : difficile modernité

Models and Fiction (V6)

Most scientific models are not physical objects, and this raises important questions. What sort of entity are models, what is truth in a model, and how do we learn about models? In this paper I argue that models share important aspects in common with literary fiction, and that therefore theories of fiction can be brought to bear on these questions. In particular, I argue that the pretence theor...

Network and system management activity permanently evolves to expand its scope in term of target entities as well as management tasks to answer IT environment complexity. Consequently, management application are moving to distributed and open approaches. Likewise management information have to deal with recent issues such as heterogeneity and scaleability. This paper presents and analyses these...

Human V6: Functional Characterisation and Localisation

Human visual area V6, in the parieto-occipital sulcus, is thought to have an important role in the extraction of optic flow for the monitoring and guidance of self-motion (egomotion) because it responds differentially to egomotion-compatible optic flow when compared to: (a) coherent but egomotion-incompatible flow (Cardin & Smith, 2010), and (b) incoherent motion (Pitzalis et al., 2010). It is ...

Human V6: The Medial Motion Area

Cortical-surface-based functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging mapping techniques and wide-field retinotopic stimulation were used to verify the presence of pattern motion sensitivity in human area V6. Area V6 is highly selective for coherently moving fields of dots, both at individual and group levels and even with a visual stimulus of standard size. This stimulus is a functional localizer for V...
