  2. Bioart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioArt

    Bioart is an art practice where artists work with biology, live tissues, bacteria, living organisms, and life processes. Using scientific processes and practices such as biology and life science practices, microscopy , and biotechnology (including technologies such as genetic engineering , tissue culture , and cloning ) the artworks are ...

  3. Encoding (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_(memory)

    Semantic encoding is the processing and encoding of sensory input that has particular meaning or can be applied to a context. Various strategies can be applied such as chunking and mnemonics to aid in encoding, and in some cases, allow deep processing, and optimizing retrieval.

  4. Methods used to study memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_used_to_study_memory

    Knockout mouse breeding scheme. Our understanding of memory has benefited greatly from animal research. Animals brains can be selectively lesioned using surgical, or neurotoxic methods and be assessed before and after the experimental manipulation. Groundbreaking new technology has allowed for genetic manipulation and the creation of knockout ...

  5. Neural coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_coding

    Temporal coding allows the sequence 000111000111 to mean something different from 001100110011, even though the mean firing rate is the same for both sequences, at 6 spikes/10 ms. [24] Until recently, scientists had put the most emphasis on rate encoding as an explanation for post-synaptic potential patterns.

  6. Encoding (semiotics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_(semiotics)

    Encoding, in semiotics, is the process of creating a message for transmission by an addresser to an addressee. The complementary process – interpreting a message received from an addresser – is called decoding .

  7. Biological illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_illustration

    For example, in the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave (circa 30,000 BC), at least 13 different species have been identified. [2] In one prehistoric cave (circa 15,000 BC), there is a drawing of a mammoth with a darkened area where the heart should be. If this is indeed the intention of the illustration, it would be the world's first anatomical ...

  8. Chroma subsampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling

    The term Y'UV refers to an analog TV encoding scheme (ITU-R Rec. BT.470) while Y'CbCr refers to a digital encoding scheme. [2] One difference between the two is that the scale factors on the chroma components (U, V, Cb, and Cr) are different. However, the term YUV is often used erroneously to refer to Y'CbCr encoding.

  9. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual system is the physiological basis of visual perception (the ability to detect and process light).The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment.
