Planetside 2 - Reaver - Combustion. Signal Detection Theory. The starting point for signal detection theory is that nearly all reasoning and decision making takes place in the presence of some uncertainty.

Signal Detection Theory

Signal detection theory provides a precise language and graphic notation for analyzing decision making in the presence of uncertainty. The general approach of signal detection theory has direct application for us in terms of sensory experiments. But it also offers a way to analyze many different kinds of decision problems. What you should know from this lecture Information acquisition Criterion Internal response and external noise Probability of occurrence curves Receiver operating characteristic (ROC curve) Discriminability index (d') Information and Criterion I begin here with medical scenario. There are two main components to the decision-making process: information acquisition and criterion.

Information acquisition: First, there is information in the CT scan. Criterion: The second component of the decision process is quite different. ALEKS: David J. Bonk.

For the Stan Winston Studio IRON MAN team, the biggest challenge was to create suits that retained their well-known comic book proportions while still allowing Robert Downey Jr. and his stuntmen to perform with minimal discomfort and maximum range of motion.

Iron Man - The Real Iron Man Suit

Shane Mahan, 25 year SWS FX supervisor and co-founder of Legacy Effects said, “For Robert to be in the Mark III suit was a culmination of a great many steps because we had to take a design that is non-human in some of its proportions and fit actors and stuntmen into it.” To add to the complexity of the job, Mahan added, "We were forced to reverse-engineer the suit because we didn’t have Robert’s body cast to build the suit over joint-for-joint, measurement-for-measurement. The digital build and design of the suit was 95 percent complete before Robert was even cast in the film. " "We actually built the structures in the computer so that they’re mathematically perfect and grew those parts in a process of rapid prototyping.

Consciousness: More like Fame thanTelevision

DennettCenter for Cognitive StudiesTufts UniversityMedford, MA 02155 [In the four years since Consciousness Explained appeared, I have given many lectures on thetopic to a wide variety of audiences, and gradually developed an improved series of illustrationsand explanations of the hard-to-grasp theory presented in the book. This paper presents therelatively stable result of all those valuable encounters.] Saul Steinberg's marvelous New Yorker cover from October 8, 1969 (see Figure 1), provides thebest picture of human consciousness I have encountered. Consciousness appears to us to consist of a sequence of contentful items, arranged in a sequence,the so-called "stream of consciousness," in which each item in turn bursts quite suddenly intoconsciousness and thereby enters memory, perhaps only briefly to be remembered, and thenforgotten. Descartes is the most salient source of the error I wish to combat.
