This paper presents the integrated AMBR model of analogy and memory based on the cognitive architecture DUAL. This model was also able to predict new phenomena such as context effects on problem solving and memory distortions as result of double analogies, which effects were then tested and confirmed in psychological experiments.

introduction echo-planar imaging (epi) is a group of fast data acquisition methods commonly used in fmri studies. it acquires multiple image lines in k-space after a single excitation, which leads to a very short scan time. a well-known problem with epi is that it is more sensitive to distortions due to the used encoding scheme. source of distortion is inhomogeneity in the static b0 field that ...

Distributed spectrum sensing (DSS) enables a Cognitive Radio (CR) network to reliably detect licensed users and avoid causing interference to licensed communications. The data fusion technique is a key component of DSS. We discuss the Byzantine failure problem in the context of data fusion, which may be caused by either malfunctioning sensing terminals or Spectrum Sensing Data Falsification (SS...

When the amount of information to be dealt with exceeds people’s short-term memory capacity, they must resort to the sampling of information. In the present study we show that, under conditions of cognitive overload (which could result from decision-making under stress, time constraints or information abundance), individuals exhibit systematic differences in estimating variance. Moreover, these...

A theoretical analysis of the overall mean squared error (MSE) in hybrid video coding is presented for the case of error prone transmission. The derived model for interframe error propagation includes the e ects of INTRA coding and spatial loop ltering and corresponds to simulation results very accurately. For a given target bit rate, only four parameters are necessary to describe the overall d...

OBJECTIVES The aims of the present study were (1) to examine the association between a cognitive distortion ('thought-shape fusion') and eating disorder psychopathology and (2) to examine the degree of thought-shape fusion in people with eating disorders and a non-eating-disorder control group. DESIGN Associations between thought-shape fusion and eating disorder psychopathology were examined ...

Volume segmentation is an integral data analysis tool in experimental science. For example, in neuroscience, analysis of 3D volumes of neural structures from electron microscopy data is a key analysis step. Despite advances in computational methods, experts still prefer to manually proofread and correct the automatic segmentation outputs. Such corrections are often annotated at the level of dat...

by analyzing the zero-field-splitting parameters and of cr2+ (3d4) ion located at tetrahedral site in znse crystal, the local structure distortion and absorption spectra around cr2+ in znse: cr2+ system have been calculated on the basis of the complete energy matrix for the d4 configuration within the strong-filed-representation. it is shown that there exists an expansion distortion in the loca...

Software defined radios are widely used as multi-mode and multi-bandRF transceivers for modern communication systems, especially in cognitive radio. However, the design of flexible, cheap, and reconfigurable front-ends is a challenging task in terms of the RF transceiver electronics. Many requirements to the analogue components can be met by today’s technologies, however, this may not always be...
