Mind blanking is a distinct mental state linked to a recurrent brain profile of globally positive connectivity during ongoing mentation

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Sepehr Mortaheb

Mind blanking (MB) is a waking state during which we do not report any mental con-tent. The phenomenology of MB challenges the view of a constantly thinking mind. Here, we comprehensively characterize the MB's neurobehavioral profile with the aim to deline ...

A Simple Theoretical Model of Importance for Summarization

Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard

Research on summarization has mainly been driven by empirical approaches, crafting systems to perform well on standard datasets with the notion of information Importance remaining latent. We argue that establishing theoretical models of Importance will adv ...

Grammar-based generation of trusses within non-convex domains

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

A force-driven generative grammar rule is proposed as a design exploration method for planar networks in static equilibrium within non-convex domains. The aim is to enrich the catalog of unconventional structural typologies. Empty or partial networks in eq ...

Spatiotemporal feature integration within discrete time windows provides evidence for discrete perception

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

Intuitively, consciousness seems to be a continuous stream of percepts. Here, contrary to intuition, we show evidence for discrete consciousness, occurring only at certain moments of time. We presented a Vernier followed by a sequence of flanking lines on ...

Façade design and our experience of space: the joint impact of architecture and daylight on human perception and physiological responses

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

Daylight has an undeniable value in various aspects of architectural design, ranging from energy efficiency and user comfort to our experience of space. Even though there is substantial evidence of the positive effects of daylight access on occupants, we h ...

Augmented Reality to Facilitate a Conceptual Understanding of Statics in Vocational Education

Lorenzo Lucignano

At the core of the contribution of this dissertation there is an augmented reality (AR) environment, StaticAR, that supports the process of learning the fundamentals of statics in vocational classrooms, particularly in carpentry ones. Vocational apprentice ...

Phase anomalies in Bessel-Gauss beams

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

Bessel-Gauss beams are known as non-diffracting beams. They can be obtained by focusing an annularly shaped collimated laser beam. Here, we report for the first time on the direct measurement of the phase evolution of such beams by relying on longitudinal- ...

Asymmetric Multilevel Diversity Coding and Asymmetric Gaussian Multiple Descriptions

Suhas Diggavi, Soheil Mohajerzefreh

We consider the asymmetric multilevel diversity (A-MLD) coding problem, where a set of 2(K) - 1 information sources, ordered in a decreasing level of importance, is encoded into K messages (or descriptions). There are 2(K) - 1 decoders, each of which has a ...

L'espace contre l'architecture : le cas van Doesburg (analyse des contre-constructions)

Grégory Azar

This research work analyses Theo van Doesburg's Counter-constructions presented in Paris in 1923 at the "L'Effort Moderne" exhibition. These Counter-constructions stand as icons of the Modern Movement due to their role as precursors of a new "boundless" sp ...
