Cognitive neuroscience of auditory and cross-modal perception - Lectures and assignments

Norbert Kopčo - Frederick Gallun - Beáta Tomoriová - Ľuboš Hládek(eds.)

Cognitive neuroscience is a fast developing scientific field which aims at uncovering the neural basis of human perception and cognition. To achieve this goal, cognitive neuroscience uses a variety of tools and approaches ranging from non-invasive brain imaging to psychophysics and neural modeling. Mastering such tools requires skills and knowledge from multiple scientific domains, including neurophysiology, cognitive psychology, and several computational fields.

Over the past several decades, significant advances have been made in particular in the imaging and computational fields, providing us with large amounts of data about the brain function, with tools to analyze them, and, in turn, with a multitude of new advances in our understanding of the neural information processing. This proceedings provides a snapshot of our current knowledge in cognitive neuroscience, focusing on the mechanisms of auditory and cross-modal perception. It contains a collection of introductory lectures, research talks, and lab assignments prepared by invited experts in this field for two editions of a workshop and lecture series on “Cognitive neuroscience of auditory and cross-modal perception” that took place in Košice in 2014 and 2015. It is aimed at students and early-stage researchers interested in obtaining an overview of the basic knowledge, current research questions, and methods used in auditory and cross-modal perceptual research.

Each invited expert prepared one introductory lecture providing overview of his/her expertise, one advanced lecture on a current research topic, and an assignment related to his/her research. These teaching materials are provided in the first two parts of the proceedings. The third part provides abstracts of contributed presentations by the workshop participants. In addition, the accompanying CD and web provides the code and/or data of the assignments. The lectures only contain slides of the individual talks, and thus only provide an outline of the research topics and cannot be used as a textbook. For a reader interested in working on an assignment it is useful to first read through the corresponding lectures by the same author which contain a broader introduction to the selected problem. Most of the assignments code is in MATLAB and requires basic familiarity with this environment.

Additional information about this proceedings is available at http://pcl.upjs.sk/workshopcd and https://sites.google.com/site/kogneuro/. We hope that this collection of lectures and assignments will find its excited readers and that it will provide an introduction that will be as enjoyable as the workshops were for the experts and the participants. And, we will be looking forward to meet some of the readers at future editions of the workshop.

Počítačová fyzika I

E-book

E-book

Milan Žukovič

Učebný text Počítačová fyzika I obsahovo pokrýva problematiku prednášanú v rovnomennom kurze na bakalárskom stupni študijného programu Fyzika a v kurze Aplikácia numerických metód na bakalárskom stupni študijného programu Aplikovaná informatika. Text nadväzuje na základný kurz numerických metód so zameraním na výklad základných princípov počítačového riešenia niektorých typických fyzikálnych úloh. Zahŕňa jednak oblasť deterministických metód riešenia problémov modelovaných obyčajnými a parciálnymi diferenciálnymi rovnicami ako aj oblasť stochastických Monte Carlo simulácií. Kurz Počítačová fyzika I vytvára základ pre ďalšie štúdium pokročilejších počítačových metód prednášaných na magisterskom stupni v rámci predmetu Počítačová fyzika II. V súčasnosti je používanie počítača ako nástroja riešenia reálnych fyzikálnych úloh, a v prípade študentov ako nástroja vypracovania ich záverečných bakalárskych či diplomových prác, takmer nevyhnutnosťou. To viedlo k vzniku množstva užívateľsky orientovaných softvérových balíkov v rôznych prostrediach pre riešenie širokej škály problémov. Avšak, bez dôsledného pochopenia fungovania jednotlivých počítačových techník sú tieto programy čiernymi skrinkami s množstvom úskalí a rizík pri ich používaní. Preto tento text kladie dôraz na pochopenie silných aj slabých stránok jednotlivých metód a predpokladov ich úspešného použitia.

Matematická analýza 1

E-book

E-book

Božena Mihalíková - Ján Ohriska

This text is intended for first-year students in 76-12-8 ‘General Education Teaching’ in combinations with mathematics. It is based on the authors' lectures and their more than ten years of experience in teaching this subject at the Faculty of Education of the University of Applied Sciences. When writing it, the authors tried to take into account the specificity of mathematics teaching studies.

The present teaching text was not written due to the lack of textbooks on mathematical analysis. The reason for writing it was the authors' findings that the students do not have sufficient experience in working with specialized literature from secondary school, the difficulties for many of them (especially in the first semesters) are caused by even a slightly different interpretation, not rarely also by a change in labeling, which makes them miss the essence of the studied problem. The authors of the text did not set out to be original. Their aim was to make such a selection of topics as is necessary for a future teacher of mathematics and to choose such a method of interpretation which, in their opinion, is suitable for first-year students.

A good mastery of the curriculum (expansion of the mathematical apparatus and the related possibilities of applying other methods of proof as well as the acquisition of the necessary numerical skills) presupposes the use of other literary sources (textbooks, collections of problems) according to the teacher's recommendation.

Erik Čižmár

Textbook Automation of Laboratory Experiments in LabVIEW environment is devoted to the basics of graphical programming and shows the way how to communicate with measuring equipment and Arduino development boards in LabVIEW. The basic concepts of creating a virtual instrument and its interactive user environment are introduced. Three physical tasks are presented, the practical implementation of which takes place with the use appropriate instrumentation and LabVIEW. Practical tasks are dedicated to measuring the transmission characteristics of a low-pass RC filter, measuring the natural resonant frequency of a quartz tuning fork using the heterodyne pulse method, and mapping the magnetic field of a permanent magnet using Arduino.
