Concurrency, synchrony, and temporal organization
نویسنده
چکیده
The organization of time-varying linguistic behavior, while controlled, is not precisely timed. This claim is supported empirically, but it is also motivated theoretically by an idea that will be fleshed out in the talk; namely, language behavior necessitates a neuro-cognitive displacement from the fine-grained spatial and temporal instantiation of language. This obviates the need for the precise synchronization that can be observed in that other peculiarly human activity – music.

Spatial grouping in human vision: Temporal structure trumps temporal synchrony
Temporal information promotes visual grouping of local image features into global spatial form. However, experiments demonstrating time-based grouping typically confound two potential sources of information: temporal synchrony (precise timing of changes) and temporal structure (pattern of changes over time). Here, we show that observers prefer temporal structure for determining perceptual organ...
متن کاملReal-time visualization of neural synchrony for identifying coordinated cell assemblies.
We introduce a synchrony map that translates the fine temporal organization of multi-unit responses in the visual cortex into an easily interpreted spatial display. We test the synchrony map on microelectrode array recordings in Area 17 of anesthetized and paralyzed cats. We first examine the synchrony map using averaged data and probability calculations to demonstrate orientation-dependent cha...
متن کاملA Survey of Concurrency Control Algorithms in the Operating Systems
Concurrency control is one of the important problems in operation systems. Various studies have been reported to present different algorithms to address this problem, although a few attempts have been made to represent an overall view of the characteristics of these algorithms and comparison of their capabilities to each other. This paper presents a survey of the current methods for controlling...
متن کاملTemporal organization of replication in DNA fibers of mammalian cells
The extent of coordinate control over the multiple initiation events in DNA replication has been investigated in three mammalian cell lines by DNA fiber autoradiography. Quantitative estimates have been obtained of the degree of synchrony among initiations occurring on stretches of DNA. Synchrony decreases markedly with increasing distance between initiation sites in MDBK (bovine) and L929 (mou...
متن کاملSelf-organized dynamics in spatially structured populations.
Self-organization and pattern formation represent the emergence of order in temporal and spatial processes. Self-organization in population ecology is gaining attention due to the recent advances concerning temporal fluctuations in the population size of dispersal-linked subunits. We shall report that spatially structured models of population renewal promote the emergence of a complex power law...
