Although various tactile feedback or "sensory substitution" schemes (e.g., [ 2– 6]) may be used to provide feedback to the surgeon about these forces to help prevent potential tissue damage in freehand or robotic assisted surgery, a suitable force sensor (FS) must be incorporated into the surgical tools.
Our findings also indicate that a vibration coding scheme identified in the whisker sensory system of rats [18], [19] may be general across species.
Thus, the robustness of each whisker under tip breaks would be a way to preserve the sensory encoding scheme of the array.
According to this scheme, sensory transmission in POm is contingent upon ongoing cortical L5 activity and the relative timing of sensory and cortical events (an "AND-gate" function).
Another possibility, recently proposed in unpublished work [20], is that the decoder is unaware of the change in sensory representations: such a scheme leads to the same degree of prior bias as our simulation.
Given that, in a hierarchical scheme of sensory processing, plasticity at the primary levels should influence higher-order regions, it is very likely that NCM response properties are also expressly determined by the animal's unique experience.
A simplistic scheme of sensory information flow in the network of brain regions thought to underlie social recognition memory.
That is, the essential features of the model predictions derived exclusively from the sensory-based estimation scheme, and not from this hypothesized internal structure.
Endothelial cells lining every blood vessel in your body is a player in the larger scheme of the sensory organ known as your heart.
This flexibility however necessitates a recoding scheme that would put sensory information to use in the control of behavior.
For example, the walls and floors have a simple colour scheme, to avoid triggering sensory overload, while the taps in the canteen are slightly different from each other to help students learn to adopt less rigid routines.
