The perception of temporal contrasts in speech is known to be influenced by the speech rate in the surrounding context. This rate-dependent perception is suggested to involve general auditory processes because it is also elicited by nonspeech contexts, such as pure tone sequences. Two general auditory mechanisms have been proposed to underlie rate-dependent perception: durational contrast and n...

Cluster examination is data mining task for the assignment of collection a set of items in such a path, to the point that questions in the same gathering (called a cluster) are more like one another than to those in different gatherings (clusters). K-means grouping is a technique for group investigation which intends to parcel n perceptions into k groups in which every perception fits in with t...

The neuronal mechanisms giving rise to conscious perception remain largely elusive [1]. It is known that the strength of single-neuron activity correlates with conscious perception, especially in anterior regions of the ventral pathway in non-human primates [2-4] and in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) [5, 6]. It is unclear, however, whether single-neuron correlates of conscious perception ...

Cities have been increasingly involved in the development of food policies, becoming key points achieving security and fostering transition to sustainable agri-food systems. The aim this paper is identify citizens’ profiles by performing segmentation profiling according their socio-economic variables perception factors affecting security. This define appropriate strategies guide policy makers a...

What brings together Henri Bergson's Matter and Memory and JeanPaul Sartre's Imagination and The Psychology of Imagination is the question of the ontology of the image. Bergson attempts to use the image to bridge the gap between mind and matter by refusing to distinguish clearly between what he calls “matter-images,” “perception-images,” and “memory-images.” By defining both consciousness and t...

This study addresses the question to which extent phonetic contrasts of a foreign language are perceived more easily by speakers of a native language that shares similar phonetic categories. The focus lies on two post-alveolar and two palatal affricates of Serbian: [tʃ] (post-alveolar, voiceless), [ʨ] (alveolo-palatal, voiceless), [ʤ] (post-alveolar, voiced) and [ʥ] (alveolo-palatal, voiced). S...
