Studies of the effects of lexical neighbors upon the recognition of spoken words have generally assumed that the most salient competitors differ by a single phoneme. The present study employs a procedure that induces the listeners to perceive and call out the salient competitors. By presenting a recording of a monosyllable repeated over and over, perceptual adaptation is produced, and perception of the stimulus is replaced by perception of a competitor. Reports from groups of subjects were obtained for monosyllables that vary in their frequency-weighted neighborhood density. The findings are compared with predictions based upon the neighborhood activation model.

Auditory Competition and Coding of Relative Stimulus Strength across Midbrain Space Maps of Barn Owls.

The natural environment challenges the brain to prioritize the processing of salient stimuli. The barn owl, a sound localization specialist, exhibits a circuit called the midbrain stimulus selection network, dedicated to representing locations of the most salient stimulus in circumstances of concurrent stimuli. Previous competition studies using unimodal (visual) and bimodal (visual and auditory) stimuli have shown that relative strength is encoded in spike response rates.

Article Synopsis
- Fundamental frequency ( ) affects social perceptions, with low male frequencies enhancing perceptions of men's strength and status, especially in societies with high homicide rates and competitive environments.
- On the other hand, high female frequencies made women seem more flirtatious, particularly in societies with lower relational mobility and higher fears of relationship threats.
- The study shows that the impact of on social perceptions varies significantly based on socioecological factors related to competition for status and mates across different cultures.
A Tensor Method based on Enhanced Tensor Nuclear Norm and Hypergraph Laplacian Regularization for Pan-Cancer Omics Data Analysis.
IEEE J Biomed Health Inform
December 2022
As a powerful data representation technique, tensor robust principal component analysis (TRPCA) has been widely used for clustering and feature selection tasks. However, it ignores the significant difference in singular values of tensor data and the manifold information contained in different views, thereby causing serious degradation of conventional TRPCA performance. In this paper, a novel tensor method based on enhanced tensor nuclear norm and hypergraph Laplacian regularization (ETHLR) is developed to address the above problem.

Multivalent interactions are common in biological systems and are also widely deployed for targeting applications in biomedicine. A unique feature of multivalent binding is "superselectivity". Superselectivity refers to the sharp discrimination of surfaces (e.

IEEE Trans Cybern
March 2023
The goal of co-salient object detection (CoSOD) is to discover salient objects that commonly appear in a query group containing two or more relevant images. Therefore, how to effectively extract interimage correspondence is crucial for the CoSOD task. In this article, we propose a global-and-local collaborative learning (GLNet) architecture, which includes a global correspondence modeling (GCM) and a local correspondence modeling (LCM) to capture the comprehensive interimage corresponding relationship among different images from the global and local perspectives.
