N100In neuroscience, the N100 or N1 is a large, negative-going evoked potential measured by electroencephalography (its equivalent in magnetoencephalography is the M100); it peaks in adults between 80 and 120 milliseconds after the onset of a stimulus, and is distributed mostly over the fronto-central region of the scalp. It is elicited by any unpredictable stimulus in the absence of task demands. It is often referred to with the following P200 evoked potential as the "N100-P200" or "N1-P2" complex.
SchizotypyIn psychology, schizotypy is a theoretical concept that posits a continuum of personality characteristics and experiences, ranging from normal dissociative, imaginative states to extreme states of mind related to psychosis, especially schizophrenia. The continuum of personality proposed in schizotypy is in contrast to a categorical view of psychosis, wherein psychosis is considered a particular (usually pathological) state of mind, which the person either has or does not have.
Quadruple-precision floating-point formatIn computing, quadruple precision (or quad precision) is a binary floating point–based computer number format that occupies 16 bytes (128 bits) with precision at least twice the 53-bit double precision. This 128-bit quadruple precision is designed not only for applications requiring results in higher than double precision, but also, as a primary function, to allow the computation of double precision results more reliably and accurately by minimising overflow and round-off errors in intermediate calculations and scratch variables.
Corps de nombresEn mathématiques, un corps de nombres algébriques (ou simplement corps de nombres) est une extension finie K du corps Q des nombres rationnels. En particulier, c'est une extension algébrique : tous les éléments de K sont des nombres algébriques, dont le degré divise le degré de l'extension. C'est aussi une extension séparable car Q est de caractéristique nulle donc parfait. Tout sous-corps de C engendré par un nombre fini de nombres algébriques est un corps de nombres.
ParanormalLe paranormal est un terme utilisé pour qualifier un ensemble de phénomènes supposés qui ne sont ni observables, ni explicables scientifiquement. Ces phénomènes paranormaux sont l'objet d'étude de la parapsychologie. Le préfixe « para » désignant quelque chose qui est à côté, en marge de la « normale », laquelle peut faire référence au consensus scientifique ou la normalité. Puisque ces dits phénomènes n'ont aucune preuve d'existence, l'imagination et les suppositions ont le champ libre.
NeurolinguistiqueNeurolinguistics is the study of neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language. As an interdisciplinary field, neurolinguistics draws methods and theories from fields such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, communication disorders and neuropsychology. Researchers are drawn to the field from a variety of backgrounds, bringing along a variety of experimental techniques as well as widely varying theoretical perspectives.
