Benchmarking models of the ventral stream
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
This work establishes a benchmark by which to measure models of the ventral stream using crowd-sourced human behavioral measurements. We collected human error patterns on an object recognition task across a variety of ...
The role of neurogranin in modulating contextual memory and plasticity : FMRP involvement and adrenergic-dependent facilitation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Activity-dependent changes in neuronal properties (neuronal plasticity) are critical for information processing and storage in the brain. It is well-established that protein synthesis is essential for both memory formation ...
Qualitative representation for recognition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
This thesis describes a representation for objects and scenes that is stable against variations in image intensity caused by illumination changes and tolerant to image degradations such as sensor noise. The representation, ...
The comprehension of main and embedded clauses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The first language acquisition of scalar inferences from -Cocha 'Even' by Korean-speaking children
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
This thesis investigates the first language acquisition of scalar inferences from Korean particle -cocha 'even.' Based on the fact that also evokes the same existential inference with even, and that also and even have the ...
Chronic stress-dependent activation of somatostatin neurons in the nucleus accumbens facilitates maladaptive eating behaviors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Stressors are known to impact eating behaviors. However, recapitulating the intricate interplay between chronic stress and aberrant human eating patterns in an animal model remains a challenge. Notably, binge eating, a ...
Synaptic plasticity in the MyosinVa mutant mouse
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The trafficking of essential proteins into spines is an important aspect of synaptic plasticity. MyosinVa, an actin-based motor protein, has been implicated in the synaptic delivery of AMPARs during LTP [1]. However an ...
Perceptual decomposition as inference
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)
The early detection of motion boundaries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
Short-term recall of sentences : conceptual representation or plausible reconstruction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
