But the feeling may not be a true reading of what is happening in our minds, brains, and bodies as our actions are produced. The feeling of conscious will can be fooled. This happens in clinical diso...

Currently, few tools exist to aid the FPGA developer in translating an algorithm designed for a general-purposeprocessor into one that is precision-optimized for FPGAs. This task requires extensive knowledge of both the algorithm and the target hardware. We present a design-time tool, Précis, which assists the developer in analyzing the precision requirements of algorithms specified in MATLAB. ...
