Mirror Mediation

چکیده
I show that the effective action of string compactifications has a structure that can naturally solve the supersymmetric flavour and CP problems. At leading order in the gs and α ′ expansions, the hidden sector factorises. The moduli space splits into two mirror parts that depend on Kähler and complex structure moduli. Holomorphy implies the flavour structure of the Yukawa couplings arises in only one part. In type IIA string theory flavour arises through the Kähler moduli sector and in type IIB flavour arises through the complex structure moduli sector. This factorisation gives a simple solution to the supersymmetric flavour and CP problems: flavour physics is generated in one sector while supersymmetry is broken in the mirror sector. This mechanism does not require the presence of gauge, gaugino or anomaly mediation and is explicitly realised by phenomenological models of IIB flux compactifications.

A neuroscientific perspective on music therapy.
During the last years, a number of studies demonstrated that music listening (and even more so music production) activates a multitude of brain structures involved in cognitive, sensorimotor, and emotional processing. For example, music engages sensory processes, attention, memory-related processes, perception-action mediation ("mirror neuron system" activity), multisensory integration, activit...

Word association responses in fi rst-language (L1) Spanish and secondlanguage (L2) English were investigated by means of response latencies and types of associative response produced. The primary aims were to establish whether (a) some response types are produced more often or faster than others, (b) participants’ L2 response time profi les mirror those of their L1, and (c) participants’ L2 ass...
متن کاملModulation of cortical activity during different imitative behaviors.
Imitation is a basic form of motor learning during development. We have a preference to imitate the actions of others as if looking in a mirror (specular imitation: i.e., when the actor moves the left hand, the imitator moves the right hand) rather than with the anatomically congruent hand (anatomic imitation: i.e., actor and imitator both moving the right hand). We hypothesized that this prefe...
متن کاملModulation of cortical motor outputs by the symbolic meaning of visual stimuli.
The observation of an action modulates motor cortical outputs in specific ways, in part through mediation of the mirror neuron system. Sometimes we infer a meaning to an observed action based on integration of the actual percept with memories. Here, we conducted a series of experiments in healthy adults to investigate whether such inferred meanings can also modulate motor cortical outputs in sp...
متن کاملMODERN CONCEPTS OF REC OVERY and REHABILITATION- CNS AFFECTIONS (MIRROR SYSTE
Mirror neurons are a particular class of visual and motor neurons, first discovered in area F5 of the premotor cortex in monkeys. To humans, brain activity they are involved in mirror neurons occurs in r parietal cortex. An important functional aspect of mirror neurons is the relationship between the motor and visual properties. All mirror neurons show a congruence between actions that respond ...
