Features of neighboring elements are not processed independently. Often, it is assumed that nearby features are integrated by a (pre-attentive) pooling mechanism. Here, we show that in the feature inheritance effect some features are integrated across spac ...
After a right thalamic stroke, an 86-year-old man presented an acute pure left representational neglect in the absence of any perceptual neglect. On spatial mental imagery tasks, the patient systematically omitted items located on his left side, but only w ...
In 1977, D. G. Kendall [J. Appl. Probab. 28 (1991), no. 1, 225--230; MR1090460 (92f:60135)] considered diffusions of shape induced by independent Brownian motions in Euclidean space. In this paper, we consider a different class of diffusions of shape, indu ...
We consider the problem of estimating a fractional Brownian motion known only from its noisy samples at the integers. We show that the optimal estimator can be expressed using a digital Wiener-like filter followed by a simple time-variant correction accoun ...
It is known that extracardiac factors (nervous, humoral, and hemodynamic) participate in the power-law behavior of heart-rate variability. To assess whether intrinsic properties of cardiac tissue might also be involved, beat- rate variability was studied i ...
This paper proposes a capital accumulation model with a random stopping time corresponding to the occurrence of an environmental catastrophe. Depending on the preventive capital stock accumulated at the time of the catastrophe, the damage cost associated w ...
The thermal position fluctuations of a single micron-sized sphere immersed in a fluid were recorded by optical trapping interferometry with nanometer spatial and microsecond temporal resolution. We find, in accord with the theory of Brownian motion includi ...
A new, parameter-free method, based on orthonormal wavelet expansions is proposed for calculating the principal time scale of coherent structures in atmospheric surface layer measurements. These organized events play an important role in the exchange of he ...
In this report, we investigate and compare different subband-based Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) approaches, including an original approach, referred to as the ``full combination approach'', based on an estimate of the (noise-) weighted sum of posteri ...
In the study of space-time rainfall it is particularly important to establish characteristic properties to guide both theoretical and modeling research efforts. In the present paper, new observational analyses on the scaling properties of time-evolving cum ...
