Behavioral outcome of very preterm children at 5 years of age: Prognostic utility of brain tissue volumes at term-equivalent-age, perinatal, and environmental factors

Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Laura Ioana Gui, Serafeim Loukas

ObjectivePrematurity is associated with a high risk of long-term behavioral problems. This study aimed to assess the prognostic utility of volumetric brain data at term-equivalent-age (TEA), clinical perinatal factors, and parental social economic risk in ...

Personalizable intervention systems to promote healthy behavior change

Igor Kulev

Adopting healthy behaviors can prevent the onset of many adverse health conditions. However, behavior changes are difficult to make, and often, people who like to improve their behaviors do not know how to do that. Personalizable intervention systems could ...

Tapping into Multi-Faceted Human Behavior and Psychopathology Using fMRI Brain Dynamics

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Maria Giulia Preti, Elenor Morgenroth

Human behavior comprises many aspects that stand out by their dynamic nature. To quantify its neural underpinnings, time-resolved fMRI methods have blossomed over the past decade. In this review we conceptually organize a broad repertoire of dynamic analyt ...

Painting by Numbers: Computational Methods and the History of Art

Leonardo Laurence Impett

This thesis presents a new methodology for computational art history, in the tradition of Distant Reading from literary criticism. This method is based on operationalisation, the transcription of a concept or theory from cultural history into an algorithm. ...

Motivating Innovation: The Effect of Loss Aversion on the Willingness to Persist

Kenneth Younge

We investigate the willingness of individuals to persist at exploration in the face of failure. Prior research suggests that the organization's "tolerance for failure" may motivate greater exploration by the individual. Little is known, however, about how ...

Brain functional connectivity dynamics at rest in the aftermath of affective and cognitive challenges

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Gwladys Rey, Julian Gaviria

Carry-over effects on brain states have been reported following emotional and cognitive events, persisting even during subsequent rest. Here, we investigated such effects by identifying recurring co-activation patterns (CAPs) in neural networks at rest wit ...

Towards biomimetic behavior of an active deployable tensegrity structure

Nicolas Willy Veuve

Tensegrity structures have non-conventional structural properties since they require self-stress in order to be stable. When a tensegrity structure integrates sensors, actuators, (structural members able to change their length) and a control system, deploy ...

Improving Fatigue Evaluations of Structures Using In-Service Behavior Measurement Data

Ian Smith, Claire Acevedo, Romain Pasquier, James-Alexandre Goulet

Conservative models and code practices are usually employed for fatigue-damage predictions of existing structures. Direct in-service behavior measurements are able to provide more accurate estimations of remaining-fatigue-life predictions. However, these e ...
