The Class of Strong Placement Games: Complexes, Values, and Temperature
(2018-08-28)Strong Placement (SP-) games are a class of combinatorial games in which pieces are placed on a board such that the order in which previously placed pieces have been played does not matter. It is known that to each such ... -
Classical conditioning of attack behavior in squirrel monkeys.
(Dalhousie University, 1976)A review of the literature on classical conditioning of pain elicited attack suggested that the use of a bite-tube as a CS should produce strong conditioned attack in Squirrel monkeys. In Experiment I, however, it was found ... -
Classification and Analysis of a Large MEG Dataset using Convolutional Neural Networks
(2019-08-16)Convolutional neural networks were used to classify and analyse a large magnetoencephalography (MEG) dataset. Networks were trained to classify between active and baseline intervals recorded during cued button pressing. ... -
