Studies requiring the collection of biological specimens are often difficult to perform and costly.We compare face-to-face and telephone interviews to determine which is more effective for return of self-collected rectal swabs from subjects living in rural and semi-rural areas of Ontario, Canada.People interviewed face-to-face in 2006-2007 were ask
Current knowledge of saccade-blink interactions suggests that blinks have paradoxical effects on saccade generation.Blinks suppress saccade generation by attenuating the oculomotor drive command in structures like the superior colliculus (SC), but they also disinhibit the saccadic system by removing the potent inhibition of pontine omnipause neuron
For a network of robots working in a specific environment, relative localization among robots is the basis Heel Sleeve for accomplishing various upper-level tasks.To avoid the latency and fragility of long-range or multi-hop communication, distributed relative localization algorithms, in which robots take local measurements and calculate localizati
Predictive coding is a computational theory on describing how the brain perceives and acts, which has been widely adopted in sensory processing and motor control.Nociceptive and pain processing involves a large and distributed network of circuits.However, it is still unknown whether this distributed network is completely decentralized or requires n
Summary: Multisensory integration (MSI) is a fundamental emergent property of the mammalian brain.During MSI, perceptual information encoded in patterned activity is processed in multimodal association cortex.The systems-level neuronal dynamics that coordinate MSI, however, are unknown.Here, we demonstrate intrinsic hub-like network activity in the
