American Journal Experts

I want to share the website with all of you! It is about the American Journal Experts whcih can help me correct the English writing. I use American Journal Expert's (AJE's) English language editing service for my research papers. I am satisfied with the quality of their paper editing and would like to inform my colleagues about this proofreading service.

請與我們一同歡送楊政達、石家豪、以及陳彥合！

The influence of similarity on visual working memory representations

http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a791471042~db=all?jumptype=alert&alerttype=new_issue_alert,email
Abstract
In verbal memory, similarity between items in memory often leads to interference and impaired memory performance. The present study sought to determine whether analogous interference effects would be observed in visual working memory by varying the similarity of the to-be-remembered objects in a colour change detection task. Instead of leading to interference and impaired performance, increased similarity among the items being held in memory led to improved performance. Moreover, when two similar colours were presented along with one dissimilar colour, memory performance was better for the similar colours than for the dissimilar colour. Similarity produced better performance even when the objects were presented sequentially and even when memory for the first item in the sequence was tested. These findings show that similarity does not lead to interference between representations in visual working memory. Instead, similarity may lead to improved task performance, possibly due to increased stability or precision of the memory representations during maintenance.



Note: similarity can increase stability or precision of the memory representations during maintenance

用endnote 寫論文

再用X2版的時候
APA5 th的格式會顯示錯誤
需要下載新的output filter
以下網頁有提供一些資訊
並且教大家如何用endnote寫論文

How to use Winbugs and related issues

WinBUGS軟體安裝提示
作者：林永雋
日期：2009-01-19~20
<目的>
數學模型中除了自變量、依變量，就是參數了。原則上，不論自變量或參數，可以是固定效果(fixed effect)也可以是隨機效果(random effect)。雖然大一統計課所教的線性回歸有討論自變量是固定效果與是隨機效果的這兩種情形，但是都是把模型參數視為固定效果。假如要考慮某參數是隨機效果， 亦即視該參數為隨機變數，則推估出的參數會是一個機率分配，而不是一個固定的數值。既然要去推論出一個機率分配，則統計的方法也會較複雜一些，幸好我們可以應用貝式定理的觀念—將經驗法則換算成理性的預測—有效率地推論機率分配，而WinBUGS就是一個基於貝氏定理作模型參數推估的應用軟體，該軟體實作了以貝氏定理為基礎原理的演算法。

<教程>
目標一：用WinBUGS來實作Bayesian modeling

1.Install WinBUGS
1-1.Install WinBUGS 1.4
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/contents.shtml
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/WinBUGS14.exe
下載並安裝好WinBUGS14.exe

1-2.Patch WinBUGS (1.4->1.43)
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/patches.shtml
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/WinBUGS14_cumulative_patch_No3_06_08_07_RELEASE.txt

下載WinBUGS14_cumulative_patch_No3_06_08_07_RELEASE.txt
用WinBUGS將下載回來的檔案開啟成Text，然後遵循裡面的指示進行安裝

1-3.Register WinBUGS 1.4x
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/contents.shtml
http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/WinBUGS14_immortality_key.txt
下載WinBUGS14_immortality_key.txt
用WinBUGS將下載回來的檔案開啟成Text，然後遵循裡面的指示進行安裝


目標二：匯入外來的模型或是自訂額外的模型

2.Install WBDev into WinBUGS
WinBUGS本身似乎不能自訂模型，WBDev應該是開發模型給WinBUGS用的套件
http://www.winbugs-development.org.uk/download_wbdev.html
下載並安裝好wbdev.exe
安裝的效果是Program Files/WinBUGS14/中會多出wbdev_01_09_04.txt
用WinBUGS將Program Files/WinBUGS14/wbdev_01_09_04.txt開啟成Text，然後遵循裡面的指示進行安裝

3.Install BlackBox 1.5 (not 1.6 !)
BlackBox應該是發展出WinBUGS的基礎
http://www.oberon.ch/blackbox.html
下載並安裝SetupBlackBox15.exe

4.匯入外來模型
索取wiener.odc與wienereta.odc這兩個檔案
為了能運用wiener.odc與wienereta.odc這兩個diffusion模型，必須在安裝WBDev與Blackbox之後，
將C:\Program Files\WinBUGS14中所有的檔案拷貝到C:\Program Files\BlackBox Component Builder 1.5，全部取代
並將將wiener.odc與wienereta.odc拷貝到C:\Program Files\BlackBox Component Builder 1.5\WBDev\Mod，並用BlackBox分別開啟這兩個檔案按Ctrl+K組譯，
這麼做會使得C:\Program Files\BlackBox Component Builder 1.5\WBDev\Code與C:\Program Files\BlackBox Component Builder 1.5\WBDev\Sym產生新的檔案
接著將C:\Program Files\BlackBox Component Builder 1.5\WBDev\Rsrc\Distributions.odc用BlackBox開啟，修改成：
s ~ "dnorm.trunc0"(s, s)I(s, s) "WBDevUnivariateTemplate.Install"
s ~ "dwiener"(s, s, s, s)I(s, s) "WBDevWiener.Install"
s ~ "dwiener.eta"(s, s, s, s, s)I(s, s) "WBDevWienerEta.Install"
END
最後把整個C:\Program Files\BlackBox Component Builder 1.5\WBDev資料夾內的檔案覆蓋回C:\Program Files\WinBUGS14\WBDev即可


目標三：如果能用R操作WinBUGS會更便利

5.Install R 2.81
http://cran.csie.ntu.edu.tw/
下載並安裝R-2.8.1-win32.exe

6.Run WinBUGS from R
http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/bugsR/

6-1.Just once in R
install.packages("arm")
install.packages("BRugs")
install.packages("Matrix")
install.packages("lme4")

6-2.Each time in R
library("arm")
每次從R呼叫WinBUGS之前，只輸入這個就會自動引用其他三個安裝好的套件

眼界其關 （Exhibition of Human Eyes）

Exhibition of Human Eyes. The exhibition was funded by Department of Science Education, National Science Council and was held during July 23rd – August 18th, 2008. Collaboration with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. See the website http://web.ntust.edu.tw/~myang/2008eye/

這次的展覽，人類視覺的部分，由我與陳彥合，以及我2008年3月到6月的大學部小朋友（孫小涵、李紹銘、邱佩甄、吳覆濃、潘奕瑄、廖敏捷、廖蕙如）共同製作，針對改變盲現象作一系列的有趣示範，裡面共有三段有趣的影片，以及許多改變偵測的DEMO。
