Although our brains do not function biologically in a dichotomous fashion, binary thinking is the brain's favored method, as it is easier to categorize events in terms of success/failure, cooperation/competition, rational/irrational, etc.
Bayesian theory is a method to categorize events on the probability of occurrence or non-occurrence.
Through careful observation and field experiments of wild individuals, researchers are examining the natural concepts different species may use in order to categorize events in their social and physical environment.
It's taken me 32 years to appreciate that how we categorize events profoundly affects how we understand ourselves.
My plan was to observe and experience, without needing to categorize events or people into pleasant or unpleasant, satisfactory or disappointing.
We analyzed clusters with ≥4 events obtained in 5/8 patients by categorizing events by their specific order as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th or higher rank within clusters to study CSD-associated ptiO2 responses in sequential order.
As the children in the present experiment were highly competent in selecting targets, although there was certainly an improvement with age, the present results support the conclusion by Courchesne [ 38] using a similar experimental paradigm: "It is suggested that these differences in ERP waveforms reflect differences in the way children and adults categorize events".
The model that they use to illustrate this is by categorizing traditional cyberspace event sources as Utility Business Information Technology (IT), and by categorizing event sources beyond cyberspace as Power System Operation Technologies OTT).
If the case definition of adverse drug events was met, we categorized the events according to the Hepler & Strand taxonomy (Additional file 2) [ 25].
We categorized cardiovascular events into minor and major events and found that neither was significantly associated with HRQoL in univariate or multivariate analyses, respectively.
