Real-time actuation of a dielectric elastomer actuator neuroprosthesis for facial paralysis

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi, Armando Matthieu Walter, Amine Benouhiba

Facial paralysis is a highly burdening condition, resulting in a patient's inability to move his mimic musculature on one or both sides of his face. This condition compromises the patient's communication and facial expressions, and thus dramatically reduce ...

Matching Seqlets: An Unsupervised Approach for Locality Preserving Sequence Matching

Pascal Fua, Xinchao Wang

In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach for sequence matching by explicitly accounting for the locality properties in the sequences. In contrast to conventional approaches that rely on frame-to-frame matching, we conduct matching using sequ ...

Repeat stereotactic radiosurgery for progressive vestibular schwannomas after previous radiosurgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Constantin Tuleasca, Adrien Jean Régis Maurice Hilaire

Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are slow-growing intracranial extraaxial benign tumors, developing from the vestibular part of the eight cranial nerves. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has now a long-term scientific track record as first intention treatment fo ...

Context-Aware Emotion Recognition Networks

Seungryong Kim, Jiyoung Lee

Traditional techniques for emotion recognition have focused on the facial expression analysis only, thus providing limited ability to encode context that comprehensively represents the emotional responses. We present deep networks for context-aware emotion ...

Facing Employers and Customers: What Do Gaze and Expressions Tell About Soft Skills?

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Skanda Muralidhar, Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried

Eye gaze and facial expressions are central to face-to-face social interactions. These behavioral cues and their connections to first impressions have been widely studied in psychology and computing literature, but limited to a single situation. Utilizing ...

Action Units and Their Cross-Correlations for Prediction of Cognitive Load during Driving

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Anil Yuce, Hua Gao, Gabriel Louis Cuendet

Driving requires the constant coordination of many body systems and full attention of the person. Cognitive distraction (subsidiary mental load) of the driver is an important factor that decreases attention and responsiveness, which may result in human err ...

Soft actuation and sensing towards robot-assisted facial rehabilitation

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh

Continuing research efforts in robot-assisted rehabilitation demand more adaptable and inherently soft wearable devices. A wearable rehabilitative device is required to follow the motion of the body and to provide assistive or corrective motions to restore ...

Evaluating the Sensitivity to Virtual Characters Facial Asymmetry in Emotion Synthesis

Ronan Boulic, Junghyun Ahn, Nan Wang

The use of expressive Virtual Characters is an effective complementary means of communication for social networks offering multi-user 3D-chatting environment. In such context the facial expression channel offers a rich medium to translate the on-going emot ...

A Wearable Camera Detects Gaze Peculiarities during Social Interactions in Young Children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders

Aude Billard, Basilio Noris, Patrick Jermann, Silvia Magrelli

We report on the study of gazes, conducted on children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), by using a novel head-mounted eye-tracking device called the WearCam. Due to the portable nature of the WearCam, we are able to monitor naturalistic intera ...

Asymmetric facial expressions: revealing richer emotions for embodied conversational agents

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Stéphane Gobron, Junghyun Ahn

In this paper, we propose a method to achieve effective facial emotional expressivity for embodied conversational agents by considering two types of asymmetry when exploiting the Valence-Arousal-Dominance representation of emotions. Indeed, the asymmetry o ...
