  2. Glide reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_reflection

    A typical example of glide reflection in everyday life would be the track of footprints left in the sand by a person walking on a beach. Frieze group nr. 6 (glide-reflections, translations and rotations) is generated by a glide reflection and a rotation about a point on the line of reflection. It is isomorphic to a semi-direct product of Z and C 2.

  3. Euclidean plane isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane_isometry

    Glide reflection. Glide reflections, denoted by G c,v,w, where c is a point in the plane, v is a unit vector in R 2, and w is non-null a vector perpendicular to v are a combination of a reflection in the line described by c and v, followed by a translation along w. That is, ,, =,, or in other words,

  4. Point groups in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_groups_in_two_dimensions

    For each of the types D 1, D 2, and D 4 the distinction between the 3, 4, and 2 wallpaper groups, respectively, is determined by the translation vector associated with each reflection in the group: since isometries are in the same coset regardless of translational components, a reflection and a glide reflection with the same mirror are in the ...

    *Schönflies's point group notation is extended here as infinite cases of the equivalent dihedral points symmetries § The diagram shows one fundamental domain in yellow, with reflection lines in blue, glide reflection lines in dashed green, translation normals in red, and 2-fold gyration points as small green squares.

  6. Topographic map (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_map_(neuroanatomy)

    In neuroanatomy, topographic map is the ordered projection of a sensory surface (like the retina or the skin) or an effector system (like the musculature) to one or more structures of the central nervous system.

  7. Motion (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_(geometry)

    A glide reflection is a type of Euclidean motion.. In geometry, a motion is an isometry of a metric space.For instance, a plane equipped with the Euclidean distance metric is a metric space in which a mapping associating congruent figures is a motion. [1]

  8. PASS theory of intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PASS_theory_of_intelligence

    The PASS theory provides the theoretical framework for a measurement instrument called the Das-Naglieri Cognitive Assessment System (CAS), published in 1997. [6] This test, now in a Second Edition (CAS2; 2014, Naglieri, Das & Gold-stein) is designed to provide an assessment of intellectual functioning redefined as four brain-based cognitive processes (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous and ...

    [1] [2] It encompasses the branch of biology [3] that deals with the anatomy, biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology of neurons and neural circuits. It also encompasses cognition, and human behavior. [2] Neuroscience has multiple concepts that each relate to learning abilities and memory functions.
