For a discrete-negative-time discrete-space SDE, which admits no strong solution in the classical sense, weak is constructed that (necessarily nonmeasurable) non-anticipative function of driving i.i.d. noise. The result highlights rôle measurability plays (non-discrete) probability. En route one — quite literally stumbles upon converse to celebrated Kolmogorov’s zero–one law for sequences with ...

In this issue of Neuron, Hardcastle et al. (2015) show that the spatial firing patterns of grid cells accumulate error, drifting coherently, until reset by encounters with environmental boundaries. These results reveal important aspects of the neural dynamics of self-localization from self-motion and environmental information.

The Raven’s Progressive Matrices intelligence test is widely used as a measure of Spearman’s general intelligence factor g. Although Raven’s problems resemble geometric analogies, prior computational accounts of solving the test have been propositional. Studies of both typical and atypical human behavior suggest the possible existence of visual strategies; for example, neuroimaging data indicat...

Participants in two studies reported how they would feel, think, and behave after being confronted about either gender-biased or equivalent racial-biased responses. In Study 2, whether the confrontation was from a target group member (Black or female) or nontarget (White or male) group member was manipulated. Regardless of confronter status, allegations of racial bias elicited more guilt and ap...

Abstract This paper examines the intricate relationship between De Senectute and Second Philippic , arguing that is an important lens through which to read . When Cicero decided on irrevocable opposition Antony, moral political theorizing about role of senes (literally, ‘old men/elders’) in state found provided a convenient topical framework for synthesizing invective A close reading with demon...

1: Regarding the pre-operative psychological preparation of a five year old, the following statements are true: a: Five-year-olds readily accept surrogates instead of parents. b: It is the age when ‘stormy’ inductions are most likely. c: They tend to take the things that are said to them literally. d: They generally respond best to a full explanation of what is to happen. e: They are the age gr...

The minimum description length principle (MDL) is an important concept of information theory. It states that any regularity in a given set of data can be used to compress the data, i.e. to describe it using fewer symbols than needed to describe the data literally [4]. Zhu and Yuille [6] proposed to segment images based on the continuous formulation of MDL principle, which boils down to the mini...
