Three dimensional full-field velocity measurements in shock compression experiments using stereo digital image correlation

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: G. Ravichandran |Summary:Shock compression plate impact experiments conventionally rely on point-wise velocimetry measurements based on laser-based interferometric techniques. This study presents an experimental methodology to measure the free surface full-field particle velocity in shock compression experiments using high-speed imaging and three-dimensional (3D) digital image correlation (DIC). The experimental setup has a temporal resolution […]

A conserved principle of glial organization in the paleocortex and neocortex

Posted by klaurent UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Antonio Pinto-Duarte, Katherine Bogue, Terrence J Sejnowski and Shyam Srinivasan | Summary: Abstract The neocortex and paleocortex process sensory information and take part in higher cognitive tasks such as decision-making. The environment of the circuits within these regions is largely controlled by glial cells. Studies have shown that, across […]

A Computational Model for Storing Memories in the Synaptic Structures of the Brain

Posted by klaurent UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Vivek K George, Vikash N Morar and Gabriel A Silva | Summary: Abstract Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) is widely accepted as a mechanism through which the brain can learn information from different stimuli. Basing synaptic changes on the timing between presynaptic and postsynaptic spikes enhances contributing edges within a […]
