Adaptive sampling

…This project tests adaptive sampling by matching partial atmospheric profiles to seasonally stratified historical IGRA2 radiosondes. K-medoids clustering and a two-of-three point-of-interest voting method are integrated with the BLISS CopterSonde and LAAIRS ground-control system. Correcting a temperature convention reduces matching errors from approximately 18°C to 0.4–1.6°C; gains level off beyond about 15–20 medoids. Field validation places transition zones at 80

One of the most important questions in psychology and neuroscience is understanding how the outside world maps to internal representations. Classical psychophysics approaches to this problem have a number of limitations: they mostly study low dimensional perpetual spaces, and are constrained in the number and diversity of participants and experiments. As ecologically valid perception is rich, high dimensional, contextual, and culturally dependent, these impediments severely bias our understanding of perceptual representations. Recent technological advances—the emergence of so-called “Virtual L
