Motor response specificity in perceptual learning and its release by double training

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Fred Mast

Perceptual learning is usually feature-specific. Recently, we showed that perceptual learning is even specific for the motor response type. In a three-line bisection task, participants indicated whether the central line was offset either to the left or rig ...

GestureGAN for Hand Gesture-to-Gesture Translation in the Wild

Yan Yan, Wei Wang

Hand gesture-to-gesture translation in the wild is a challenging task since hand gestures can have arbitrary poses, sizes, locations and self-occlusions. Therefore, this task requires a high-level understanding of the mapping between the input source gestu ...

Perceptual learning is specific beyond vision and decision making

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Fred Mast

Perceptual learning is usually assumed to occur within sensory areas or when sensory evidence is mapped onto decisions. Subsequent procedural and motor processes, involved in most perceptual learning experiments, are thought to play no role in the learning ...

Supernumerary Robotic Arm for Three-Handed Surgical Application: Behavioral Study and Design of Human-Machine Interface

Elahe Abdi

In surgical to industrial manipulation, the operator needs assistance for tasks requiring more than two hands. Teamwork may be the source of errors and inefficiency, especially if the assistant is a novice or unfamiliar with the main operator. The need for ...

Asynchronous memory access chaining

Babak Falsafi, Boris Robert Grot, Yusuf Onur Koçberber

In-memory databases rely on pointer-intensive data structures to quickly locate data in memory. A single lookup operation in such data structures often exhibits long-latency memory stalls due to dependent pointer dereferences. Hiding the memory latency by ...
