In this paper, we study the link between the processing systems that sustain speech perception and production in a patient (F.A.) with conduction aphasia. Her pattern of performance in repetition task - quantitative but also qualitative striking difference in errors with pseudowords versus words - cannot be properly accounted for either by a perception deficit or by a production deficit. We dis...

Action-oriented perception provides an alternative to traditional high-level image understanding for the roboticist. By channeling sensory perception directly to motor behaviors (sensor s-sion) without mediating global representations rapid response is ensured. Forcing sensor fusion to be conducted within the context of motor needs reduces computational demand and enhances parallelism. Utilizin...

S. C. Draine and A. G. Greenwald (1998) have described a methodology based on regression analysis for demonstrating unconscious perception. They have suggested that their methodology represents a major improvement over existing methodologies. An analysis of their methodology reveals that it is closely related to the classic dissociation paradigm. As such, interpretation of their results is comp...

A method for investigating human speech perception that combines information about human perception of speech, auditory modeling, signal detection theory, and information theory is described. For that purpose, a model for detection of signals in the auditory nerve is developed and used to analyze speech sounds. Examples are given that combine detectability information with P (heard = h|spoken =...

Models of visual emotional perception suggest a reentrant organization of the ventral visual system with the amygdala. Using focused functional magnetic resonance imaging in humans with a sampling rate of 100 ms, here we determine the relative timing of emotional discrimination in amygdala and ventral visual cortical structures during emotional perception. Results show that amygdala and inferot...

Objectives To assess breathing behaviors and perception of added respiratory loads in young compared to old individuals, and to determine whether aging affects the perception and response to changes in nasal airway resistance. Study design In a clinical study, 40 young (11-20 years) and 40 older (59-82 years) subjects were evaluated during rest breathing and during the application of added ai...

the process theology is one of the theological systems which spread during postmodern period. this kind of theology tries to revive the spiritual system. david ray griffin is one of the process theologians and has many systematic researches. according to his idea, spiritual system in pre- modern considers the world in a way that is subjugated to an all-powerful being that unilaterally intervene...
