objective: children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) do not process most information due to inattention and loss of the opportunity to save and retrieve information. therefore, these children experience memory impairment. although visual memory has been previously studied in children with adhd, iconic memory in these children has been less evaluated. we aimed to study the po...

BACKGROUND Prior studies have shown a consistent reduction of the auditory P300 in schizophrenia, while the visual attention findings have been mixed. Both the auditory and visual N2b, an earlier, modality-specific attention index, are reduced in schizophrenia, sometimes despite sparing of the visual P300. Thus there may be a dissociation between the N2b and P300 attention effects in auditory a...

Auditory displays for mobile service robots are developed. The design of digital-audio symbols, such as directional sounds and additional sounds for robot states, as well as the design of more complicated robot sound tracks are explained. Basic musical elements and robot movement sounds are combined. Two experimental studies, on the understandability of the directional sounds and on the auditor...

In accordance with influential models proposing prioritized processing of threat, previous studies have shown automatic brain responses to angry prosody in the amygdala and the auditory cortex under auditory distraction conditions. However, it is unknown whether the automatic processing of angry prosody is also observed during cross-modal distraction. The current fMRI study investigated brain r...

How the temporal information that is crucial for understanding speech and music is processed in the brain is poorly understood, but a new study shows how the auditory cortex is tuned to the spectro-temporal acoustic features characteristic of natural biological sounds.

TRANSLATION is treated as a species of formal transformation of symbols. Everything symbolized by a set of symbols constitutes the domain of symbolization of the set. The ultimate elements of the domain which symbolize nothing further are designated the terminal indicatum. Most domains of symbolization comprise mediate symbols which are both symbolized by other symbols and themselves indicate f...
