Two rhesus monkeys were trained to discriminate, with the use of passive touch, a standard surface [rectangular arrays of raised dots with a spatial period (SP) of 2 mm across the rows and columns] from three modified surfaces in which the SP between rows was increased to 3, 4, or 5 mm over the second half of the surface. After the surface presentation (to digit tips 3 and 4 of one hand) the mo...

Despite surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome being effective in 80%-90% of cases, chronic numbness and hand disability can occur. The aim of this study was to investigate whether sensory relearning improves tactile discrimination and hand function after decompression. In a multi-centre, pragmatic, randomized, controlled trial, 104 patients were randomized to a sensory relearning ( n = 52) or cont...

The area of land consolidation projects are generally small, so remote sensing images used in land cover classification are generally of high resolution. The spectral characteristics of the high-resolution remote sensing data are unstable, while the texture feature is prominent. In view of this issue, this paper study the spatial relation between the adjacent pixels in the remote sensing image,...

When a neuron responds to a sensory stimulus, two fundamental codes [1-6] may transmit the information specifying stimulus identity--spike rate (the total number of spikes in the sequence, normalized by time) and spike timing (the detailed millisecond-scale temporal structure of the response). To assess the functional significance of these codes, we recorded neuronal responses in primary (S1) a...

Abstract. Texture, plastic deformation, and phase transformation mechanisms in perovskite post-perovskite are of general interest for our understanding the Earth's mantle. Here, analogue NaCoF3 is deformed a resistive-heated diamond anvil cell (DAC) up to 30 GPa 1013 K. The situ state sample, including crystal structure, stress, texture, monitored using X-ray diffraction. A from structure obser...
