Daniel
No full textDalam komentar ini, Pierce menuju poin utama Daniel: kontrol kedaulatan Tuhan atas orang-orang, penguasa, dan sejarah, bahkan ketika umat-Nya menanggung penderitaan. Tuhan tidak meninggalkan hamba-hamba-Nya yang setia, dia menganggap orang-orang jahat bertanggung jawab, dan kerajaannya akan menang. Dari kebenaran abadi ini datang dorongan bagi orang percaya hari ini untuk mempercayai Tuhan lebih dalam dan hidup lebih setia, terlepas dari kejadian terkini.Grand Rapids, Michiganxvi, 213 hlm.: ill., bibli., index; 24x18c
The challenge of precision medicine: ethical, legal & clinical issues in genomic medicine (The Daniel W. Foster, M.D., Visiting Lectureship in Medical Ethics)
No full textThe Daniel W. Foster, M.D. Visiting Lectureship in Medical Ethics (in Conjunction with Ethics Grand Rounds). Tuesday, November 3, 2015; noon to 1 p.m. Room D1.602. "The Challenges of Precision Medicine: Ethical, Legal & Clinical Issues in Genomic Medicine". Susan M. Wolf, J.D., Ph.D., McKnight Presidential Professor of Law, Medicine, & Public Policy, Faegre Baker Daniels Professor of Law, University of Minnesota.Genomics is advancing at a tremendous rate, bringing powerful new capabilities but also big challenges to clinical practice and research. With the federal government launching the Precision Medicine Initiative, the time to face those challenges is now. Genomic medicine raises fundamental issues including the role of patient choice, the development of quality standards, the privacy of sequence data, return of results and incidental findings, protection of patient privacy, and responsibilities to share information with the family. This lecture will analyze those challenges and suggest a way forward in biomedical research as well as clinical care.UT Southwestern--Program in Ethic

On the relation between dichoptic masking and binocular rivalry
No full textWhen our two eyes view incompatible images, the brain invokes suppressive processes to inhibit one image, and favour the other. Two phenomena are typically observed: dichoptic masking (reduced sensitivity to one image) for brief presentations, and binocular rivalry (alternation between the two images), over longer exposures. However, it is not clear if these two phenomena arise from a common suppressive process. We investigated this by measuring both threshold elevation in simultaneous dichoptic masking and mean percept durations in rivalry, whilst varying relative stimulus orientation. Masking and rivalry showed significant correlations, such that strong masking was associated with long dominance durations. A second experiment suggested that individual differences across both measures are also correlated. These findings are consistent with varying the magnitude of interocular suppression in computational models of both rivalry and masking, and imply the existence of a common suppressive process. Since dichoptic masking has been localised to the monocular neurons of V1, this is a plausible first stage of binocular rivalry

Contextual effects in speed perception may occur at an early stage of processing.
No full textHow does nearby motion affect the perceived speed of a target region? When a central drifting Gabor patch is surrounded by translating noise, its speed can be misperceived over a fourfold range. Typically, when a surround moves in the same direction, perceived centre speed is reduced; for opposite-direction surrounds it increases. Measuring this illusion for a variety of surround properties reveals that the motion context effects are a saturating function of surround speed (Experiment I) and contrast (Experiment II). Our analyses indicate that the effects are consistent with a subtractive process, rather than with speed being averaged over area. In Experiment III we exploit known properties of the motion system to ask where these surround effects impact. Using 2D plaid stimuli, we find that surround-induced shifts in perceived speed of one plaid component produce substantial shifts in perceived plaid direction. This indicates that surrounds exert their influence early in processing, before pattern motion direction is computed. These findings relate to ongoing investigations of surround suppression for direction discrimination, and are consistent with single-cell findings of direction-tuned suppressive and facilitatory interactions in primary visual cortex (V1
Extrinsic factors in the perception of bistable motion stimuli
No full textWhen viewing a drifting plaid stimulus, perceived motion alternates over time between coherent pattern motion and a transparent impression of the two component gratings. It is known that changing the intrinsic attributes of such patterns (e.g. speed, orientation and spatial frequency of components) can influence percept predominance. Here, we investigate the contribution of extrinsic factors to perception; specifically contextual motion and eye movements. In the first experiment, the percept most similar to the speed and direction of surround motion increased in dominance, implying a tuned integration process. This shift primarily involved an increase in dominance durations of the consistent percept. The secondexperiment measured eye movements under similar conditions. Saccades were not associated withperceptual transitions, though blink rate increased around the time of a switch. This indicates that saccadesdo not cause switches, yet saccades in a congruent direction might help to prolong a percept because (i) more saccades were directionally congruent with the currently reported percept than expected by chance, and (ii) when observers were asked to make deliberate eye movements along one motion axis, this increased percept reports in that direction. Overall, we find evidence that perceptionof bistable motion can be modulated by information from spatially adjacent regions, and changes to the retinal image caused by blinks and saccades
