The effects of visual distractors on serial dependence

David Pascucci

Attractive serial dependence occurs when perceptual decisions are attracted toward previous stimuli. This effect is mediated by spatial attention and is most likely to occur when similar stimuli are attended at nearby locations. Attention, however, also in ...

Curiosity-driven exploration: foundations in neuroscience and computational modeling

Wulfram Gerstner, Alireza Modirshanechi

Curiosity refers to the intrinsic desire of humans and animals to explore the unknown, even when there is no apparent reason to do so. Thus far, no single, widely accepted definition or framework for curiosity has emerged, but there is growing consensus th ...

From scattered sources to comprehensive technology landscape : A recommendation-based retrieval approach

Karl Aberer, Chi Thang Duong

Mapping the technology landscape is crucial for market actors to take informed investment decisions. However, given the large amount of data on the Web and its subsequent information overload, manually retrieving information is a seemingly ineffective and ...

Selective attention involves a feature-specific sequential release from inhibitory gating

David Pascucci, Gijs Plomp

Selective attention is a fundamental cognitive mechanism that allows our brain to preferentially process relevant sensory information, while filtering out distracting information. Attention is thought to flexibly gate the communication of irrelevant inform ...

Privacy and Integrity Preserving Computations with CRISP

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Sylvain Chatel, Apostolos Pyrgelis

In the digital era, users share their personal data with service providers to obtain some utility, e.g., access to high-quality services. Yet, the induced information flows raise privacy and integrity concerns. Consequently, cautious users may want to prot ...

FIB-milled plasmonic nanoapertures allow for long trapping times of individual proteins

Wayne Yang Wen Wei

We have developed a fabrication methodology for label-free optical trapping of individual nanobeads and proteins in inverted-bowtie-shaped plasmonic gold nanopores. Arrays of these nanoapertures can be reliably produced using focused ion beam (FIB) milling ...

Real-time EEG Feedback on Alpha Power Lateralization Leads to Behavioral Improvements in a Covert Attention Task

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Luca Tonin, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Christoph Schneider

Visual attention can be spatially oriented, even in the absence of saccadic eye-movements, to facilitate the processing of incoming visual information. One behavioral proxy for this so-called covert visuospatial attention (CVSA) is the validity effect (VE) ...

A Stochastic Conditioning Scheme for Diverse Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Fatemehsadat Saleh

Human motion prediction, the task of predicting future 3D human poses given a sequence of observed ones, has been mostly treated as a deterministic problem. However, human motion is a stochastic process: Given an observed sequence of poses, multiple future ...

Learning voice source related information for depression detection

Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta

During depression neurophysiological changes can occur, which may affect laryngeal control i.e. behaviour of the vocal folds. Characterising these changes in a precise manner from speech signals is a non trivial task, as this typically involves reliable se ...

Dynamic Learning in Markets: Pricing, Advertising, and Information Acquisition

Thomas Alois Weber

In the face of demand uncertainty, a monopolist can observe sales as a controlled reaction to its price and advertising so as to improve the choice of this marketing mix in the future. Furthermore, to upgrade its knowledge about demand the firm has the opt ...
