Bartlett formalism generating functions and Z-transforms in fluctuation and noise theory
1983
Abstract “La theorie des fonctions generatrices s'adapte elle meme et avec la plus grande generalite aux questions des probabilite les plus difficiles.” (Laplace, 1812) “An important part of probability theory consists of the derivation of the probability distribution of the sum of n random variables, each of which obeys a given probability law, and the development of asymptotic forms of these distributions valid for increasing n. Probability generating functions owe their dominant position to the simplification they permit to both problems. Their employment to obtain the successive moments of a probability distribution and to solve the difference equations of probability theory is ancillar…
Hysteresis Model of Unconscious-Conscious Interconnection: Exploring Dynamics on m-Adic Trees
2015
The theoretical model outlined in this paper, has been experimentally validated by: H. Kim ,J-Y. Moon ,G.A. Mashour & U. Lee, ''Mechanisms of hysteresis in human brain networks during transitions of consciousness and unconsciousness: Theoretical principles and empirical evidence'', PLOS-Computational Biology, August 30, 2018, https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006424; International audience; In this brief note, we focus attention on a possible implementation of a basic hysteretic pattern (the Preisach one), suitably generalized, into a formal model of unconscious-conscious interconnection and based on representation of mental entities by m-adic numbers. …
Percepción visual y traducción audiovisual: la mirada dirigida
2012
En este trabajo, partimos de la premisa de que las destrezas perceptuales innatas necesarias para entender una obra audiovisual son idénticas a las de la percepción visual natural (Grodal 1999: 76). La percepción es una forma inconsciente y natural de interpretar nuestro entorno gracias a la experiencia previa y al aprendizaje. Sostenemos, en contra de la creencia profundamente arraigada en Occidente de que la imagen es universal y verdadera, que la percepción visual es un proceso cognitivo determinado por la experiencia previa, el ambiente, el contexto, los valores culturales y la motivación. En este trabajo vamos a estudiar la aplicación de las investigaciones cognitivas sobre percepción …
Multi-band SWIFT enables quiet and artefact-free EEG-fMRI and awake fMRI studies in rat
2020
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in animal models provide invaluable information regarding normal and abnormal brain function, especially when combined with complementary stimulation and recording techniques. The echo planar imaging (EPI) pulse sequence is the most common choice for fMRI investigations, but it has several shortcomings. EPI is one of the loudest sequences and very prone to movement and susceptibility-induced artefacts, making it suboptimal for awake imaging. Additionally, the fast gradient-switching of EPI induces disrupting currents in simultaneous electrophysiological recordings. Therefore, we investigated whether the unique features of Multi-Band SWeep…
Unconscious integration of multisensory bodily inputs in the peripersonal space shapes bodily self-consciousness
2017
International audience; Recent studies have highlighted the role of multisensory integration as a key mechanism of self-consciousness. In particular, integration of bodily signals within the peripersonal space (PPS) underlies the experience of the self in a body we own (self-identification) and that is experienced as occupying a specific location in space (self-location), two main components of bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Experiments investigating the effects of multisensory integration on BSC have typically employed supra-threshold sensory stimuli, neglecting the role of unconscious sensory signals in BSC, as tested in other consciousness research. Here, we used psychophysical techniq…
Consumers' physiological and verbal responses towards product packages: Could these responses anticipate product choices?
2019
Today, it is a priority to predict what consumers will choose at the point of sale where there are more and more competing brands. But what kind of consumers' information can be used for that purpose? This paper compares the power of physiological responses (unconscious responses) and self-report/verbal responses (conscious responses) towards product packages, as a means of predicting product choices. To this end, six different packaging designs were created by combining three different colors (blue, red and black) and two different messages (simple and reinforced). Eighty-three young consumers were exposed to each of the six designs. In one phase of our investigation, unconscious electrode…
Lyme neuroborreliosis with encephalitis; a systematic literature review and a Scandinavian cohort study
2022
Background Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) presenting with encephalitis is rare and scarcely described. Objectives To describe the available literature on LNB encephalitis and to characterize this patient group through a Scandinavian retrospective cohort study. Data sources Medline, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane library. Study eligibility criteria There was no discrimination on study type, time of publication or language. Participants Review: All articles with definite LNB and confirmed/possible encephalitis. Cohort: LNB cohorts from Denmark, Sweden and Norway 1990–2019 were screened for patients with encephalitis. Methods Review: Adhering to PRISMA guidelines; two authors extracted reviews and asse…

Filosofia e psicologia nel giovane De Sarlo (1887-1893)
2008
Il presente contributo è rivolto all’approfondimento dei primi anni dell’attività e della produzione di Francesco De Sarlo, a partire dall’anno della sua laurea in medicina nell’Ateneo napoletano, avvenuta nel 1887. Dopo avere esercitato la professione medica per alcuni anni, il giovane De Sarlo si è dedicato alla psichiatria e alla neurologia. A partire dal 1892/1893 ha insegnato filosofia nei licei, seppure aspirando a quello universitario; infatti, nel 1897 ha conseguito la libera docenza in Filosofia teoretica e tre anni dopo ha ottenuto il suo primo insegnamento nell’Istituto di Studi Superiori di Firenze. Si è prestata attenzione anche ai primi studi di De Sarlo, relativi agli anni 18…
