Abstract

Sensor arrays are used to overcome the limitation of simple and/or individual conventional sensors. Obviously, it is more complicated to deal with some issues related to sensor arrays, e.g. signal processing, than those conventional sensors. Some of the issues are addressed in this book, with emphasis on signal processing, calibration and some advanced applications, e.g. how to place sensors as an array for accurate measurement, how to calibrate a sensor array by experiment, how to use a sensor array to track non-stationary targets efficiently and effectively, how to use an ultrasonic sensor array for shape recognition and position measurement, how to use sensor arrays to detect chemical agents, and applications of gas sensor arrays, including e-nose. This book should be useful for those who would like to learn the recent developments in sensor arrays, in particular for engineers, academics and postgraduate students studying instrumentation and measurement.

Abstract

In the study of the computational structure of biological/robotic sensorimotor systems, distributed models have gained center stage in recent years, with a range of issues including self-organization, non-linear dynamics, field computing etc. This multidisciplinary research area is addressed here by a multidisciplinary team of contributors, who provide a balanced set of articulated presentations which include reviews, computational models, simulation studies, psychophysical, and neurophysiological experiments. The book is divided into three parts, each characterized by a slightly different f

Abstract

Traditionally a large proportion of perceptual research has assumed a specialization of cortical regions for the processing of stimuli in a single sensory modality. However, perception in everyday life usually consists of inputs from multiple sensory channels. Recently the question of how the brain integrates multisensory information has become the focus of a growing number of neuroscientific investigations. This work has identified both multisensory integration regions and crossmodal influences in brain areas traditionally thought to be specific to one sensory modality. Furthermore, several factors have been identified that enhance integration such as spatio-temporal stimulus coincidence and semantic congruency. Written for academic researchers and graduate students, the present book aims at elucidating the mechanisms of multisensory integration of object-related information with a focus on the visual, auditory, and tactile sensory modalities. Evidence will be presented from studies in both human and nonhuman primates at different levels of analysis ranging from intracranial electrophysiological recordings to non-invasive electro- or magnetoencephalography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, behavioral approaches, and computational modeling. Seventeen chapters have been aggregated in four sections: underlying mechanisms, audio-visual integration, visuo-tactile integration, and plasticity. About the Editors: Marcus J. Naumer studied biology, philosophy, and psychology at the universities of Freiburg and Landau in Germany. He obtained his PhD from the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of Maastricht, The Netherlands. Since 2005 he has headed the Crossmodal Neuroimaging Lab at the Institute of Medical Psychology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany. He conducts basic and clinical research on human multisensory (auditory, visual, and haptic) object perception using functional magnetic resonance imaging and magnetoencephalography. Jochen Kaiser studied psychology at the universities of Mainz in Germany and Glasgow in Scotland. He obtained a PhD from Imperial College School of Medicine, University of London, UK, in 1998. In 2004 he was appointed Full Professor and Director of the Institute of Medical Psychology at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He has conducted extensive research on auditory and audio-visual perception, short-term memory and cortical oscillations in humans, using magnetoencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract

"Recent advances in motor behavior research rely on detailed knowledge of the characteristics of the neurons and networks that generate motor behavior. At the cellular level, Neurons, Networks, and Motor Behavior describes the computational characteristics of individual neurons and how these characteristics are modified by neuromodulators. At the network and behavioral levels, the volume discusses how network structure is dynamically modulated to produce adaptive behavior. Comparisons of model systems throughout the animal kingdom provide insights into general principles of motor control. Contributors describe how networks generate such motor behaviors as walking, swimming, flying, scratching, reaching, breathing, feeding, and chewing. An emerging principle of organization is that nervous systems are remarkably efficient in constructing neural networks that control multiple tasks and dynamically adapt to change."--Jacket.
