Temporal judgment alone can neither account for neural signaling necessary for emergence of conscious act nor explain RP (Readiness Potential, the accepted neural correlate time needed for the neurons to fire) that precedes the onset of action or the latency time of 0.5 ms that precedes the conscious act found by Libet. Neuronal feedback mechanisms between the heart and the brain seem feasible and logical suggestions to be considered, so clearly, I would suggest that the onset of a conscious-directed goal, conscious action, freewill, intension, and the neural signals and mechanisms that control them may depend upon the interaction between two sources: (1) the brain and (2) the heart. The temporal-cardiac (neural system) interaction has been well established in heart-brain interaction studies by many workers who found that the work of the heart precedes that of the brain in EEG (electroencephalography) findings in conscious stimulation, which may explain and account for RP time and the 0.5 ms latency period of Libet's important findings. According to my hypothesis (AlFaki 2009) and views, the temporal neurons in the soma to-sensory cortex will respond to conscious stimulation only after receiving neuronal signals from the cardiac neurons in the neural plexus of the heart; after variable millisecond equivalent to RP or Libet's latency period prior to temporal neuronal firinging in response to conscious act, this time is the time needed by cardiac neurons to process and signal information to the brain through feedback mechanism and heart-brain interaction.展开更多

This process is conventionalized through our cultures and our biological dictates. People identify food colors through words that are again highly constrained. Embodiment of experience and perception deals with these constraints to make color term use a cognitively economical mechanism, keeping numbers of concepts in mind through categorial conceptualization in long term memory. The parallel process that puts together our linguistic and visual information, allows the individual to map a correspondence between the two frames. The result of this mapping is a "cognitive color" in long term color memory. This paper presents an experiment in triggering long term memory and the response results. The objective was to verify whether individuals' cognitive color of well known foods, both raw and cooked, that they had just identified with Natural Color System (NCS) color samples, would be predominantly a primary basic color term, a secondary basic color term, or a complete descriptive utterance. The name used to communicate a desired signification is accessed through the judgement of similarity and difference with a point of reference. In this case, the food color vantage represents the cognitive color remembered.展开更多

In this paper, a new reconstruction method based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain has been put forward. According to the low pass character of the human visual system and the energy distribution of the DCT coefficients on the rectangular boundary, the DCT coefficients of the rectangular image area are adaptively selected and recovered. After the Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (IDCT), the lost information of the rectangular image area can be reconstructed. The experiments have demonstrated that the subjective and objective qualities of the reconstructed images are enhanced greatly than before.展开更多
