Beyond the homunculus: Visual responses of primary somatosensory cortex (S1) neurons to virtual touch of a virtual

Hannes Bleuler, Solaiman Shokur, Miguel Nicolelis, Mikhail Lebedev

Following a brief period of brushing a monkey arm with a real brush, synchronized with the vision of an arm avatar being brushed virtually, neurons in the primary somatosensory and motor cortices began to fire in response to the virtual brushing alone, sug ...

Multi-Finger Interactions with Papers on Augmented Tabletops

Pierre Dillenbourg, Frédéric Kaplan

Although many augmented tabletop systems have shown the potential and usability of finger-based interactions and paper-based interfaces, they have mainly dealt with each of them separately. In this paper, we introduce a novel method aimed to improve human ...

Evidences of Equal Error Rate Reduction in Biometric Authentication Fusion

Samy Bengio, Norman Hoon Thian Poh

Multimodal biometric authentication (BA) has shown perennial successes both in research and applications. This paper casts a light on why BA systems can be improved by fusing opinions of different experts, principally due to diversity of biometric modaliti ...

Optimizing traffic in DSM clusters: fine-grain memory caching versus page migration/replication

Babak Falsafi

In this paper we compare and contrast two techniques to improve capacity/conflict miss traffic in CC-NUMA DSM clusters. Page migration/replication optimizes read-write accesses to a page used by a single processor by migrating the page to that processor an ...
