Styles of Mathematization: The Case of 18th Century Electrostatics
From Human Attention to Computational Attention
The new edition of this popular book introduces the study of attention, focusing on attention modeling, and addressing such themes as saliency models, signal detection, and different types of signals, including real-life applications. The first edition was written at a moment when the Deep Learning Neural Network (DNNs) techniques were just at their beginnings in terms of attention. Deep learning has recently become a key factor in attention prediction on images and video, and attention mechanisms have become key factors in deep learning models. The second edition tackles the arrival of DNNs for attention computing in images and video, and also discusses the attention mechanisms within DNNs (attention modules, transformers, grad-cam-based saliency maps, etc.). From Human Attention to Computational Attention 2nd Edition also explores the parallels between the brain structures and the DNN architectures to reveal how biomimetics can improve the model designs. The book is truly multi-disciplinary, collating work from psychology, neuroscience, engineering, and computer science.

Proofs and Research Programmes: Lakatos at 100
This open access book offers new insights into issues raised in philosophy of mathematics and in philosophy of science by Imre Lakatos. Lakatos was one of the most significant philosophers of the 20th Century, and his ideas remain important and relevant today. November 2022 saw the centenary of Lakatos's birth, and the event was marked by an international conference held at the LSE - where Lakatos made his career after he had emigrated from Hungary to England. This volume consists of a selection of papers presented at the conference along with two additional contributions to debates about Lakatos's continuing influence and importance.

Biophysics of Brain Imaging
This book takes a multiscale overview and theoretical framework for all existing brain imaging modalities. It also presents technological development for data fusion and underlying biophysical models. The book also provides problems and exercises useful for undergraduate and graduate courses.Biophysics of Brain Imaging is broken up into 3 parts. Part 1: Modeling Observations and Microscopic Phenomena provides the physical and physiological foundation of all brain imaging modalities. Part 2 (Edited): Measuring and Modeling Emergent Mesoscopic Phenomena examines recording techniques and biophysical models used today to represent the mesoscale of the brain, the voxel. Part 3: Hypothesis Testing and Applications discusses methods to analyze brain imaging data and their applications to evaluate signatures in a variety of diseases, e.g., epilepsy, AD, and migraine.This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate level students in Computational Neuroscience, Medical Imaging, Electrophysiology, and Brain Data Analysis and Modeling courses.Figure slides are available to adopting professors.
Native Plants of British Columbia's Coastal Dry Belt
An innovative guide to the native plants of the coastal dry belt, or "rain shadow" of the Pacific Northwest, including southeast Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and some parts of the mainland coast, such as Port Angeles and Bellingham, WA. This guide takes readers on a botanical journey through the unique ecosystems of British Columbia and northern Washington's Coastal Dry Belt. Organized by plant communities and habitats, it is an invaluable resource for naturalists, students, and nature enthusiasts alike. Authors Hans Roemer, an experienced ecologist, and Mary Sanseverino, an accomplished photographer, combine their expertise to present native plant species in their natural settings, illustrating the intricate relationships between plants and their environments. Covering diverse areas from Douglas-fir forests to Garry oak woodlands, and from shrub-covered wetlands to beach and sand dunes, each section provides detailed descriptions, vibrant photographs, and insightful commentary. The guide facilitates plant identification within specific communities, highlights the ecological significance of each habitat, and offers practical tips for field observations.
