Perception and Testimony as Data Providers
(2014)
Assuming that the sceptical challenge might be either bypassed or answered, this still leaves unspecified how high-quality information about the external world is acquired. In this paper, I will argue that, if knowledge ...
The VMC survey - X : The technique of using Cepheids, RR Lyrae stars and binaries to probe the Magellanic system structure
(2014-01)
The VISTA near-infrared Y, J, Ks survey of the Magellanic System (VMC) survey is obtaining multi-epoch photometry in the Ks band of the Magellanic System down to a limiting magnitude of Ks~19.3 for individual epoch data. ...
Knowledge integration and the integration of knowledge : management in the organisation
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014)
New knowledge is constantly created in the organisation, yet most do not realise the benefit of this new knowledge. Indeed, knowledge integration has been one of the key failures for Knowledge Management (KM) practice. In ...
Context-aware modeling of neuronal morphologies
(2014)
NEURONAL MORPHOLOGIES ARE PIVOTAL FOR BRAIN FUNCTIONING: physical overlap between dendrites and axons constrain the circuit topology, and the precise shape and composition of dendrites determine the integration of inputs ...
Investigating the adoption and use of smartphones in the UK : a silver-surfers perspective
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014)
Smart phones are innovations that currently provide immense benefits and convenience to users in society. However, not all members of society are accepting and using smart phones; more specifically, for this research study ...
Movement speed is biased by prior experience
(2014-01-01)
How does the motor system choose the speed for any given movement? Many current models assume a process that finds the optimal balance between the costs of moving fast and the rewards of achieving the goal. Here, we show ...
Enriching the values of micro and small business research projects : two sides of a story
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014)
The research aim was to critically examine the two sides of co-creation from the small business and GCU researcher perspectives. The interest is in the value created and delivered. Previous studies have suggested the ...
Coding in the olfactory system : linking realistic and abstract models
(2014)
[Poster presentation].In general, theoretical models for the function of the olfactory system can be divided into two broad categories. In one, the seemingly diffuse and unstructured pattern of neuronal connections within ...
Empowerment : An Introduction
(Springer Nature, 2014)
This book chapter is an introduction to and an overview of the information-theoretic, task independent utility function "Empowerment", which is defined as the channel capacity between an agent's actions and an agent's ...
Evolving spiking neural networks for temporal pattern recognition in the presence of noise
(MIT Press, 2014)
Nervous systems of biological organisms use temporal patterns of spikes to encode sensory input, but the mechanisms that underlie the recognition of such patterns are unclear. In the present work, we explore how networks ...
