PERCEPTIONS AS HYPOTHESES: SACCADES AS EXPERIMENTS

Perceptions as hypotheses: saccades as experiments

If perception corresponds to hypothesis testing (Gregory, 1980); then visual searches might be construed as experiments that generate sensory data.In this work, we explore the idea that saccadic eye movements are optimal experiments, in which data are gathered to test hypotheses or beliefs about how those data are caused.This provides a plausible m

Four temporin-derived peptides exhibit antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Temporin-GHa (GHa) was cloned from Hylarana guentheri, showing a weak antimicrobial activity.In order to improve its bactericidal efficacy, GHaR6R, GHaR7R, GHaR8R and GHaR9W were designed and synthesized.Compared to the parent peptide, the Lacrosse Handle GHa-derived peptides show potent antimicrobial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphy
