Auditory signals evolve from hybrid- to eye-centered coordinates in the primate superior colliculus.
(Journal of neurophysiology, 2012-07)Visual and auditory spatial signals initially arise in different reference frames. It has been postulated that auditory signals are translated from a head-centered to an eye-centered frame of reference compatible with the ... -
Cognitive and neural contributors to emotion regulation in aging.
(Social cognitive and affective neuroscience, 2011-04)Older adults, compared to younger adults, focus on emotional well-being. While the lifespan trajectory of emotional processing and its regulation has been characterized behaviorally, few studies have investigated the underlying ... -
Cost of capital to the hospital sector.
(J Health Econ, 1988-03)This paper provides estimates of the cost of equity and debt capital to for-profit and non-profit hospitals in the U.S. for the years 1972-83. The cost of equity is estimated using, alternatively, the Capital Asset Pricing ... -
Diffusion of surgical technology. An exploratory study.
(J Health Econ, 1986-03)The study presents an empirical analysis of the diffusion patterns of five surgical procedures. Roles of payer mix, regulatory policies, physician diffusion, competition among hospitals, and various hospital characteristics ... -
Emerging Technologies to Conserve Biodiversity.
(Trends in ecology & evolution, 2015-11)Technologies to identify individual animals, follow their movements, identify and locate animal and plant species, and assess the status of their habitats remotely have become better, faster, and cheaper as threats to the ... -
Environmental management for malaria control: knowledge and practices in Mvomero, Tanzania.
(Ecohealth, 2010-12)Environmental conditions play an important role in the transmission of malaria; therefore, regulating these conditions can help to reduce disease burden. Environmental management practices for disease control can be implemented ... -
Experience rating: does it make sense for medical malpractice insurance?
(Pap Proc Annu Meet Am Econ Assoc, 1990-05) -
Introduction to metrology series.

Memory and coping with stress: the relationship between cognitive-emotional distinctiveness, memory valence, and distress.
(Memory, 2008)Cognitive-emotional distinctiveness (CED), the extent to which an individual separates emotions from an event in the cognitive representation of the event, was explored in four studies. CED was measured using a modified ... -
Metacognition in monkeys during an oculomotor task.
(J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn, 2011-03)This study investigated whether rhesus monkeys show evidence of metacognition in a reduced, visual oculomotor task that is particularly suitable for use in fMRI and electrophysiology. The 2-stage task involved punctate visual ... -
Misuse of methamphetamine and prescription stimulants among youths and young adults in the community.
(Drug and alcohol dependence, 2007-07)Gender differences in the prevalence and characteristics of misuse of methamphetamine (meth) and prescription stimulants were examined in a representative US sample of youths and young adults aged 16-25 (N=24,409).Stimulant ... -
Neural mechanisms of context effects on face recognition: automatic binding and context shift decrements.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2010-11)Although people do not normally try to remember associations between faces and physical contexts, these associations are established automatically, as indicated by the difficulty of recognizing familiar faces in different ... -
Object files can be purely episodic.
(Perception, 2007)Our ability to track an object as the same persisting entity over time and motion may primarily rely on spatiotemporal representations which encode some, but not all, of an object's features. Previous researchers using the ... -
Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Infants and Children with Infantile Pompe Disease.
(Dysphagia, 2009-09)Pompe disease is a rare genetic progressive neuromuscular disorder. The most severe form, infantile Pompe disease, has historically resulted in early mortality, most commonly due to cardiorespiratory failure. Treatment with ... -
Rapid brain responses independently predict gain maximization and loss minimization during economic decision making.
(J Neurosci, 2013-04-17)Success in many decision-making scenarios depends on the ability to maximize gains and minimize losses. Even if an agent knows which cues lead to gains and which lead to losses, that agent could still make choices yielding ... -
Reduced comparison speed during visual search in late life depression.
(Journal of clinical and experimental neuropsychology, 2013-01)Slowed information processing is a prominent deficit in late-life depression (LLD). To better differentiate processing speed components in LLD, we examined characteristics of visual search performance in 32 LLD and 32 control ... -
Storage of correlated patterns in standard and bistable Purkinje cell models.
(PLoS Comput Biol, 2012)The cerebellum has long been considered to undergo supervised learning, with climbing fibers acting as a 'teaching' or 'error' signal. Purkinje cells (PCs), the sole output of the cerebellar cortex, have been considered ... -
Strategic use of statistical thinking in drug development.
(Stat Med, 2000-12-15)The role of the statistician and statistical thinking in the pharmaceutical industry has evolved greatly in the last four or five decades. Regulatory developments and the changing face of the science of drug development ... -
The architecture of cross-hemispheric communication in the aging brain: linking behavior to functional and structural connectivity.
(Cereb Cortex, 2012-01)Contralateral recruitment remains a controversial phenomenon in both the clinical and normative populations. To investigate the neural correlates of this phenomenon, we explored the tendency for older adults to recruit prefrontal ... -
The emerging science of quantitative imaging biomarkers terminology and definitions for scientific studies and regulatory submissions.
(Statistical methods in medical research, 2015-02)The development and implementation of quantitative imaging biomarkers has been hampered by the inconsistent and often incorrect use of terminology related to these markers. Sponsored by the Radiological Society of North ...
