In localizing high-frequency tonal signals in the horizontal plane, the lateral superior olive (LSO) encodes the interaural level differences (ILD), the crucial cue for azimuthal angle extraction at some nuclei more central ...

The pattern of occurrence of isolated action potentials recorded from the cat's auditory nerve fiber is modeled over short time scales as a renewal process. For counting times greater than one second, the count variance-to-mean ...

A theory of information flow through sensory nervous systems is formulated as the representation of a finite number of events by a set of parallel point process channels with limited signaling sets. As a balance among ...

A novel model system is developed to study the effects of the environment on transport properties of a superconducting single-electron transistor (S-SET). The impedance of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) 50 nm below ...

Explicit-time finite-difference approximations to the acoustic wave equation admit data parallelism, in which the problem domain (a grid) is sub-divided among several processors. Communication must take place between the ...
