In case of doubt, one follows one's self: the implicit guidance of the embodied self-avatar

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Loën Boban

The sense of embodiment in virtual reality (VR) is commonly understood as the subjective experience that one's physical body is substituted by a virtual counterpart, and is typically achieved when the avatar's body, seen from a first-person view, moves lik ...

Event-related causality in stereo-EEG discriminates syntactic processing of noun phrases and verb phrases

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Objective. Syntax involves complex neurobiological mechanisms, which are difficult to disentangle for multiple reasons. Using a protocol able to separate syntactic information from sound information we investigated the neural causal connections evoked by t ...

Interpreting Rhythm as Parsing: Syntactic-Processing Operations Predict the Migration of Visual Flashes as Perceived During Listening to Musical Rhythms

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti

Music can be interpreted by attributing syntactic relationships to sequential musical events, and, computationally, such musical interpretation represents an analogous combinatorial task to syntactic processing in language. While this perspective has been ...

Effects of Head-Tracking Artefacts on Externalization and Localization in Azimuth With Binaural Wearable Devices

Hervé Lissek, Gilles André Courtois, Vincent Pierre Olivier Grimaldi

Head tracking combined with head movements have been shown to improve auditory externalization of a virtual sound source and contribute to the performance in localization. With certain technically constrained head-tracking algorithms, as can be found in we ...

High gamma response tracks different syntactic structures in homophonous phrases

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Syntax is a species-specific component of human language combining a finite set of words in a potentially infinite number of sentences. Since words are by definition expressed by sound, factoring out syntactic information is normally impossible. Here, we c ...

Methods and systems for particle characterisation

Sandor Kasas, Anton Malovichko

A method and system for deriving particle characteristics is described. The method comprises imaging the movement of at least one free-floating particle in a liquid environment at at least one moment in time, determining for at least one moment in time a m ...

Accurate Nod and 3D Gaze Estimation for Social Interaction Analysis

Yu Yu

Non-verbal behaviours play an important role in human communication since it can indicate human attention, serve as communication cue in interactions, or even reveal higher level personal constructs. For instance, head nod, a common non-verbal behaviour, c ...

Partially-supervised Mention Detection

James Henderson

Learning to detect entity mentions without using syntactic information can be useful for integration and joint optimization with other tasks. However, it is common to have partially annotated data for this problem. Here, we investigate two approaches to de ...

Controlling motion artefact levels in MR images by suspending data acquisition during periods of head motion

Bogdan Draganski

Purpose: Head movements are a major source of MRI artefacts. Prospective motion correction techniques significantly improve data quality, but strong motion artefacts may remain in the data. We introduce a framework to suspend data acquisition during period ...

Statistical mechanical model of gas adsorption in porous crystals with dynamic moieties

Berend Smit, Cory Matthew Simon, Efrem Daniel Braun

Some nanoporous, crystalline materials possess dynamic constituents, for example, rotatable moieties. These moieties can undergo a conformation change in response to the adsorption of guest molecules, which qualitatively impacts adsorption behavior. We pos ...

Interactive Synthesis using Free-Form Queries

Viktor Kuncak, Tihomir Gvero

We present a new code assistance tool for integrated development environments. Our system accepts free-form queries allowing a mixture of English and Java as an input, and produces Java code fragments that take the query into account and respect syntax, ty ...

Translating Head Motion into Attention - Towards Processing of Student’s Body-Language

Pierre Dillenbourg, Lukasz Kidzinski, Mirko Raca

Evidence has shown that student's attention is a crucial factor for engagement and learning gain. Although it can be accurately assessed ad-hoc by an experienced teacher, continuous contact with all students in a large class is difficult to maintain and re ...

Discourse-level features for statistical machine translation

Thomas Meyer

Machine Translation (MT) has progressed tremendously in the past two decades. The rule-based and interlingua approaches have been superseded by statistical models, which learn the most likely translations from large parallel corpora. System design does not ...

Hyperschematia after right brain damage: a meaningful entity?

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

In recent years we reported three right-brain-damaged patients, who exhibited a left-sided disprortionate expansion of drawings, both by copying and from memory, contralateral to the side of the hemispheric lesion (Neurology, 67: 1801, 2006, Neurocase 14: ...

Self-motion perception training: thresholds improve in the light but not in the dark

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast

We investigated perceptual learning in self-motion perception. Blindfolded participants were displaced leftward or rightward by means of a motion platform and asked to indicate the direction of motion. A total of eleven participants underwent 3,360 practic ...

Model-based attenuation of movement artifacts in fMRI

Thomas Lemmin

Behavioral analysis of multi-joint arm reaching has allowed important advances in understanding the control of voluntary movements. Complementing this analysis with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) would give insight into the neural mechanisms ...

Intégration de connaissances syntaxiques et sémantiques dans les représentations vectorielles de textes : [application au calcul de similarités sémantiques dans le cadre du modèle DSIR]

Romaric Besançon

The notion of similarity between texts is fundamental for many applications of Natural Language Processing. For example, this notion is particularly useful for the applications designed for the management of information in large textual databases, such as ...
