seen as designed mega-analyses, and the necessary databasing, data-sharing and analysis tools are emerging (Keator et al., 2008, 2009; Bockholt et al., 2009). In the following, current limitations in function-location brain mapping are examined, along with strategies for their remediation through data pooling. Following the meta/mega-analysis distinction frequently employed in the fi eld, the a...

Assuming a convergent projection within a hierarchy of processing stages stimuli from different areas of the receptive .eld project onto the same population of cells. Pooling over space a/ects the representation of individual stimuli, and thus its understanding is crucial for attention and ultimately for object recognition. Since attention, in turn, is likely to modify such spatial pooling by c...

Data quality is an important consideration in many engineering applications and projects. collection procedures do not always involve careful utilization of the most precise instruments strictest protocols. As a consequence, data are invariably affected by imprecision sometimes sharply varying levels data. Different mathematical representations have been suggested, including classical approach ...
