Brain Activity in Response to Visual Symmetry

  • Marco Bertamini and
  • Alexis D.J. Makin

2 December 2014

A number of studies have explored visual symmetry processing by measuring event related potentials and neural oscillatory activity. There is a sustained posterior negativity (SPN) related to the presence of symmetry. There is also functional magnetic...

  • Uchechukwu E. Vincent,
  • Abdulahi N. Njah and
  • Biodun S. Badmus

27 October 2014

The dynamics and response of particles in an asymmetric potential of the ratchet type is considered. An approximate asymmetric ratchet potential, which allows us to apply an analytical approach to investigate the systems’ response, is proposed based...

Polar Vector Property of the Stationary State of Condensed Molecular Matter

  • Jürg Hulliger,
  • Luigi Cannavacciuolo and
  • Mathias Rech

13 October 2014

Crystalline phases undergoing 180\(^{\circ}\) orientational disorder of dipolar entities in the seed or at growing (hkl) faces will show a polar vector property described by \(\infty\) /mm symmetry. Seeds and crystals develop a bi-polar state (\(\inf...
