Reducing the gradient artefact in simultaneous EEG-fMRI by adjusting the subject’s axial position (2011)
Journal Article

Large artefacts which compromise EEG data quality are generated when electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are carried out concurrently. The gradient artefact produced by the time-varying magnetic field gradien... Read More about Reducing the gradient artefact in simultaneous EEG-fMRI by adjusting the subject’s axial position.

Bridging the gap between physiology and behavior: evidence from the sSoTS model of human visual attention (2011)
Journal Article

We present the case for a role of biologically plausible neural network modeling in bridging the gap between physiology and behavior. We argue that spiking-level networks can allow “vertical” translation between physiological properties of neural sys...

A case for corpus stylistics: Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale (2011)
Journal Article

In this article we investigate keywords and key semantic domains in Fleming’s Casino Royale. We identify groups of keywords that describe elements of the fictional world such as characters and settings as well as thematic signals. The keyword groups...

An adaptive evolutionary multi-objective approach based on simulated annealing (2011)
Journal Article

A multi-objective optimization problem can be solved by decomposing it into one or more single objective subproblems in some multi-objective metaheuristic algorithms. Each subproblem corresponds to one weighted aggregation function. For example, MOEA... Read More about An adaptive evolutionary multi-objective approach based on simulated annealing.

Scientific explanation and moral explanation (2011)
