  2. Failure mode and effects analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_mode_and_effects...

    Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on the rest of the system ...

    The failure mode may then be charted on a criticality matrix using severity code as one axis and probability level code as the other. For quantitative assessment, modal criticality number is calculated for each failure mode of each item, and item criticality number is calculated for each item. The criticality numbers are computed using the ...

  4. Default mode network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

    In neuroscience, the default mode network (DMN), also known as the default network, default state network, or anatomically the medial frontoparietal network (M-FPN), is a large-scale brain network primarily composed of the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, precuneus and angular gyrus.

  5. Biological motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_motion

    Further evidence from another study shows that the default mode network is essential in distinguishing between biological and non-biological motion. [9] Such findings aforementioned studies show that biological motion perception is a process that pulls in several different neural systems outside of networks involved in the visual processing of ...

  6. Neuroscience of free will - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_free_will

    The neuroscience of free will encompasses two main fields of study: volition and agency. Volition, the study of voluntary actions, is difficult to define. [citation needed] If human actions are considered as lying along a spectrum based on conscious involvement in initiating the actions, then reflexes would be on one end, and fully voluntary actions would be on the other. [17]

  7. Muscle memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_memory

    The way in which a child learns a gross motor skill can affect how long it takes to consolidate it and be able to reproduce the movement. In a study with preschoolers, looking at the role of self-instruction on acquiring complex gross motor chains using ballet positions, it was found that the motor skills were better learned and remembered with ...

  8. Physics of failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_failure

    An approach to the design and development of reliable product to prevent failure, based on the knowledge of root cause failure mechanisms. The Physics of Failure (PoF) concept is based on the understanding of the relationships between requirements and the physical characteristics of the product and their variation in the manufacturing processes ...

  9. Defence mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_mechanism

    A defence mechanism can become pathological when its persistent use leads to maladaptive behaviour such that the physical or mental health of the individual is adversely affected. Among the purposes of ego defence mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety or to provide a refuge from a situation with which one cannot currently cope ...
