  Theta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theta (upper case Θ, lower case θ or ϑ) is the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet.
According to Porphyry of Tyros, the Egyptians used an X within a circle as a symbol of the soul; having a value of nine, it was used as a symbol for Ennead.
Theta was adopted into the early Cyrillic alphabet as fita (Ѳ, ѳ).

 OUP: Appendix 06   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Theta frequency in the 0.75 s immediately before each lever press did not increase as response rate increased during the fixed interval; indeed, towards the end of training it appeared to increase when response rate was lowest in the control animals.
Cholinergic theta appears to be the result of the concurrence of an underlying phasic inhibitory input with input from the ascending cholinergic system which, even in its control of theta, involves a complex ‘reticulum’ of centres such as the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPT), superior colliculus, substantia nigra pars compacta, amygdala, and probably several more.
It is almost certainly for this reason that the frequency of theta during ‘exploratory behaviour’ tends to be in the mid-point of the range in the rat, but near the lower end of the range in the cat, paralleling the different degrees of movement accompanying such behaviour in the two species.

 Substream - hippocampus - models   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In this two-stage model both exploratory (theta) and sharp wave states of the hippocampus are essential and any interference that might modify the structure of the population bursts (e.g., epileptic spikes) are detrimental to memory trace formation.
Theta frequency inputs from the medial septum cause oscillations in the levels of GABA in the model, producing phasic changes in the strength of synaptic potentials during a theta cycle similar to those observed experimentally (Wyble et al., Soc Neurosci Abstr 1997;23: 197.7).
A mechanism for parsing the theta rhythm into two epochs is proposed and simulated: in the first half, the strong, proximal input from the dentate to a subset of CA3 pyramidal cells and coincident, direct input from the entorhinal cortex to other pyramidal cells creates an environment for strengthening synapses between cells, thus encoding information.

 The Virtual Rat
Theta modulation through GABA_B dynamics required conductances of 900, and the induction of spiking by afferent input during a low theta mode required a conductance of 1250 with $E=20$ mV, $T_[rise]=2$ ms and $T_{fall}=5$ ms.
Theta modulation and transmission modulation (at afferent inputs and gamma input) in the PFC STM buffer is delayed by 164 ms (180 degrees out of phase with that of the EC STM buffer).
Theta modulation of the synchronization populations on the input pathways to the PFC STM buffer is correspondingly delayed (56 ms on the goal input pathway and 62 ms on the place input pathway).

It is shown that the theta rhythm of the hippocampus consists of a regular component and an irregular one of high dimension which relation is in the wide variation depending on the state of the animal.
It is concluded that the presence of hippocampal theta is not a sufficient condition to cause disturbances in auditory sensory gating.
Based on the hypothesis that theta phase coding is generated by synchronization of neural activities, an autoassociative network model of the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex was analyzed to explore mechanisms underlying episodic memory.

If there is a concept representative of the topic discussed in the word window and this con-cept is supposed to be meaningful for the disambiguation task, it shouldn't be too abstract or generic (as the concepts at higher levels usually are) in relationto the word senses being disambiguated.
This measure compares correct disambiguations against all nouns in the collection;therefore, a system that is very precise but has a low coverage will also have a low recall overall.
This results seems to indicate that the WSD algorithm is not performing as expected: the upper levels are used in the disambiguation, and thereforethe conceptual density measure is using conceptual relationships that are far too general to be meaningful for disambiguation.

 Greek alphabet - Wikipedia
In west Greek, actually, chi was used for /ks/ and psi for /k_h/ - hence the value of our letter x, derived from chi.
Over the middle ages these aspirates disappeared, so now theta, phi, and chi stand for /T/, /f/, and /x/.
The origin of those letters is disputed: According to Miller (53), the Ψ-form kappa comes from the Proto-Canaanite.

 Neural Computation - Changes in GABAb Modulation During a Theta Cycle May Be Analogous to the Fall of Temperature ...
We show that in the framework of Hopfield and Tank (1985), changes in GABAb suppression correspond to changes in the effective temperature and the relative energy of data terms and constraints of an analog network.
These results suggest that phasic changes in the activity of inhibitory interneurons during a theta cycle mayproduce dynamics that resemble annealing.
These dynamics may underlie a role for the theta cycle in improving sequence retrieval for spatial navigation.
