• The behavioral “Ziggurat Test” used in this work is one of the most sensitive assessments available for detecting deficits in hippocampal function [because behavioral effects of such minor hippocampal lesions could not be detected so far (Driscoll et al., 2008)]. • Artifacts by stress or fear are avoided (as no aversive stimuli is used during the operant behavior). • In conjunction with the m...

The analytical modeling and simulation of conservative electrostatic, electromagnetic and electrodynamic transducers found in microsystems using a non-linear lumped-parameter approach is presented in this paper. A comparison is made between this approach and the linearized equivalent circuit method. All models of transducers are written in HDL-A, a proprietary analogue hardware description lang...

Edward Liu and Alberto L. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences University of California Berkeley, California 94720 Abstract This paper presents behavioral representations for detectors and voltage-controlled oscillators that are independent of circuit architectures. Parameter extraction techniques are described. Finally, parameter extraction for a VCO...

In coordination dynamics, rate is a nonspecific control parameter that alters the stability of behavioral patterns and leads to spontaneous pattern switching. We used fMRI in conjunction with measures of effective connectivity to investigate the neural basis of behavioral dynamics by examining two coordination patterns known to be differentially stable (synchronization and syncopation) across a...

My intention in this paper is to outline and motivate a novel theory of syntactic bootstrapping, Exemplar-Based Phonological Bootstrapping (EBPB), based on Stochastic Tree-Substitution Grammar. Because I have outlined the basic structure of STSG in other places for assessed work on this degree, I will not recapitulate that work in the body of the present paper, but will instead quote it in full...
