Working in Darkness

چکیده
We suggest a method using speech corpus elicitation for language preservation and literation projects. We present a simple algorithmic tool called Siblings-and-Cousins for deriving lexical information from a corpus of (possibly error-prone) transcriptions of informal conversations. The formal properties of the algorithm are discussed and exemplified in a 'staged experiment' using two well-described languages (Danish and Swedish) as stand-ins for two endangered languages. Finally, we reflect on the use of spoken language corpora as an abundant information source in preservation and literation projects on a tight budget.

Specific changes in hippocampal spatial codes predict spatial working memory performance.
This study examined the relationship between hippocampal place fields and spatial working memory. Place cells were recorded while rats solved a spatial working memory task in light and dark testing conditions. Rats made significantly more errors when tested in darkness, and although place fields changed in multiple ways in darkness, only changes in place field specificity predicted the degree o...
متن کاملThe effect of light-dark cycle alteration on thermal and chemical pain in the male rat
Background: Animals have an internal biological clock with melatonin hormone that helps them to adapt to light/dark circles. Since melatonin is associated with an alteration in the expression and production of opioid receptors, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of changes in the light/dark circles on pain sensation in rats. Methods: This research study in order to investigate the thermal...
