In tonal languages, such as Mandarin Chinese, the pitch contour of vowels discriminates lexical meaning, which is not the case in non-tonal languages such as German. Recent data provide evidence that pitch processing is influenced by language experience. However, there are still many open question...
Stalling of that response appears as the unperturbed system approaches thermal equilibrium, meaning that the oscillations caused by the driving become smaller and smaller. This is highlighted in the insets, in particular. (A special feature of this example is that already the unperturbed system (...
As discussed in [1], each different variation in the parameter space requires a separate solution to Equations (12) and (13), meaning the approach is inefficient when large numbers of sensitivities are sought. 2.1. Summary of First-Order Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Adjoint methods [1] have ...
Note, however, that because Go stimuli were scrambled images, they were emotional only in that they were derived from emotional images; they had no emotional meaning of their own. Stimulus presentation was randomized. Task completion took approximately 16 minutes. Accuracy (percentages of correct ...

In two Go/No-Go experiments, we examined whether the neural mechanisms supporting response inhibition are influenced by the relevance of meaning to the decision, and by presentation modality (whether concepts were presented as words or images). In an on-line fMRI experiment, we found common ...
They would not have had the pleasure of enjoying this traditional noodle dish in such a leisurely fashion, had an uphill battle not been won against the fast-spreading novel coronavirus. The Chinese phrase for "anti-epidemic" contains the character "kang," meaning "fight" or "combat." In ...
Ca++-imaging experiments were carried out in the Thy-1 GCaMP3 transgenic mouse line, in which the Ca++-indicator is expressed by all RGCs. In the PV-GCaMP6f line, GCaMP was expressed only by a subset (6 cell types19) of RGCs. A modified upright Nikon FN1 microscope equipped with ...
We discuss issues in detecting and handling DIF.ConclusionThis article describes how to perform DIF analyses in validating a questionnaire to ensure that scores have equivalent meaning across subgroups. It offers insight into ways information gained through the analysis can be used to evaluate an ...
