The key to whatever process is at play is that it takes place preconsciously. People are not aware that they have selected one interpretation over another. Indeed, they are not even aware of the alternative interpretation. Whatever work the visual system has done to bias the interpretation that people see

general family of function approximators with a wide range of applications. Smoothing splines allow the addition of a bias which balances the fit to the data against some desired smoothness of the resulting function. This paper shows that one such bias can be used to eliminate overshoot. 1 INTRODUCTION

aims to characterize memory systems in a way that generalizes over representational content Research on visual perception takes the opposite approach, attempting to determine what is being represented and to generalize across processes. For example, early stages of visual representation consist

These predictions were based on a model of the perceived domain (music, in the current case) formed by an inductive process of unsupervised statistical learning of perceived

This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable reliable, low-cost monitoring of migratory species. The developed multi-tier architecture yields ecologists with unconventional behavior in-formation not furnished by alternative tracking systems at such a large scale and for a low-cost. The simulation, development and implementation of the CraneTracker soft-ware system is presented. The system is shown effective through multiple proxy deploy-

Abstract: Online learning initia-tives over the past decade have become increasingly comprehen-sive in their selection of courses and sophisticated in their presen-tation, culminating in the recent announcement of a number of consortium and startup activities that promise to make a university
