Tiempo al tiempo y tachán. La sonrosante primera cita. En nuestro caso (el de Dluque, Migueljar, y mío), ha sido en el libro Time-to-Contact, de la serie "Advances in Psychology", publicada por Elsevier. Si quereis comprarlo a Amazon, aquí lo teneis (sí, poco recomendable si no es para pedirlo a biblioteca).
En el segundo capítulo, The biological bases of time-to-collision computation, Frost y Sun nos dedican un parrafito antes de las conclusiones. Realmente sonrojante. No sé si ponerlo. Bueno, pondré un trozo. En serio, que no les conocemos, que son de Queens y McMaster en Canadá.
"In an interesting recent paper Karanka-Ahonen, Luque-Ruiz and López-Zamora (2002)* present the results of a neural network employing backpropagation, implemented in T learn, that learned to predict collision of objects of different sizes that moved towards it... ...After training the network was tested with new objects that differed in size and distance from the original training set and it was found that 75% of collisions were correctly predicted. Interestingly, the behaviour of the hidden units appeared to be very similar to some of the units we found in the pigeon nucleus rotundus, in that the output units predictive response came earlier for larger objects, like our eta cells."
(*Afortunadamente eliminamos esos Karanka-Ahonen y Luque-Ruiz de posteriores trabajos, ¡que peñazo!)
Bueno, ya he expuesto mis vergüenzas en público ^_^
