Scholarpedia of Touch
Scholarpedia’s Encyclopedia of Touch provides a comprehensive collection of peer-reviewed articles written by leading researchers, detailing our current scientific understanding of tactile sensing and its neural substrates in animals including humans. The encyclopedia allows ideas and insights to be shared between researchers working on different aspects of touch and in different species, including research in synthetic touch systems. In addition, this encyclopedia raises awareness of research in tactile sensing and increases scientific and public interest in the field. The articles address subjects including tactile control, whiskered robots, vibrissal coding, the molecular basis of touch, invertebrate mechanoreception, fingertip transducers and tactile sensing. All the articles in this encyclopedia provide in-depth and state-of-the-art scholarly treatment of the academic topics concerned, making it an excellent reference work for academics, professionals and students.
Living Machines
Contemporary research in the field of robotics attempts to harness the versatility and sustainability of living organisms with the hope of rendering a renewable, adaptable, and robust class of technology that can facilitate self-repairing, social, and moral--even conscious--machines. This landmark volume surveys this flourishing area of research.
The Central Nervous System
The fifth edition of The Central Nervous System has been thoroughly updated and revised to better equip students with essential information in the field of clinical neuroscience. This text is revised to reflect new information as well as an understanding of student needs for critical thinking. This text seamlessly integrates data from all fields of neuroscience as well as clinical neurology and psychology and presents the functional properties of clinically-relevant disorders by incorporating data from molecular biology to clinical neurology." -- Back cover
The Resonance Key
This accessible book deals with spiritual themes in a style teens can relate to - encouraging them to become aware of the power they have to affect their own lives and how they can live in a more positive and authentic way.
Sensorimotor Integration in the Whisker System
Sensorimotor integration, the dynamic process by which the sensory and motor systems communicate with each other, is crucial to humans’ and animals’ ability to explore and react to their environment. This book summarizes the main aspects of our current understanding of sensorimotor integration in 10 chapters written by leading scientists in this active and ever-growing field. This volume focuses on the whisker system, which is an exquisite model to experimentally approach sensorimotor integration in the mammalian brain. In this book, authors examine the whisker system on many different levels, ranging from the building blocks and neuronal circuits to sensorimotor behavior. Neuronal coding strategies, comparative analysis as well as robotics illustrate the multiple facets of this research and its broad impact on fundamental questions about the neurobiology of the mammalian brain.
Advances in Autonomous Robotics
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th Conference on Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems, TAROS 2012 and the 15th Robot World Congress, FIRA 2012, held as joint conference in Bristol, UK, in August 2012. The 36 revised full papers presented together with 25 extended abstracts were carefully reviewed and selected from 89 submissions. The papers cover various topics in the field of autonomous robotics.
Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns
This volume LNCS 14184 and 14185 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference, CAIP 2023, in Limassol, Cyprus, in September 2023. The 54 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 67 submissions. They were organized in the following section as follows: Part I-:PAR Contest 2023; Deep Learning; Machine Learning for Image and Pattern Analysis; and Object Recognition and Segmentation. Part II : Biometrics- Human Pose Estimation- Action Recognition; Biomedical Image and Pattern Analysis; and General Vision- AI Applications.
Memory from A to Z
This is an innovative and engaging companion to the language of memory research. It consists of over 130 entries, bound within a coherent conceptual framework. Each entry starts with a definition, or a set of definitions, followed by an in-depth and provocative discussion of the origin, meaning, usage and aplicability of ideas and problems central to the neuroscience of memory and scientific culture at large. The entries, linked by webs of associations, can be read and enjoyed, and provide a versatile tool kit: a source for definitions, information and further reading; a trigger for contemplation, discussion and experimentation; and an aid to study, teaching and debate in classes and seminars. The text is supported by an extensive reference listing, and there is a comprehensive subject index, incorporating a much wider range of terms relevant to the field.
Haptics: Generating and Perceiving Tangible Sensations, Part II
This book constitutes the proceedings of the conference on Haptics: Generating and Perceiving Tangible Sensations, held in Amsterdam, Netherlands in July 2010.
