It may not be as famous as the so-called “grandfather paradox,” but that doesn’t make the idea of an infinite causal loop any less troubling ... or fascinating.
Case-control comparisons were conducted examining group differences in deviations between individuals with depression and individuals with ADHD compared to independent samples of healthy individuals matched on age, sex, T1 QA, and T1 SNR.ARegional Cohen’sdvalues from the ADHD group (top) and depressi...
From this matrix, a dendrogram was constructed using the NJ method of Saitou and Nei (1987) with the NEIGHBOR program of PHYLIP. The significance of each node was evaluated by bootstrap- ping frequencies over chlorotypes with 1000 replications using the SEQBOOT program of PHYLIP. The consensus...
It is going to be a very different experience for me. Unlike my previous venture, I have a partner and we are looking for funding (ping me if you have any :-). It is not a bootstrap effort. We already have offices, not working from home or coffee shops. It is a consumer web ap...
(p=0.001\)) with an average 70.64% congruent responses. Similarly, above chance performance was observed for the Action condition with an equally strong congruency bias of 81.50% congruent responses (V = 244,\(p=0.001\)). Comparable results were obtained for the two crossed conditions, Crossed...
Following Dwyer’s proposal that evolution uses complementary modules as the basis for bootstrapping receptors, beta endorphin-, pro-enkephalin-, and/or pro-opiomelanocortin-like sequences are present in the binding sites of opioid receptors. Similarly, following Root-Bernstein’s extension of Dwyer...
