The multisensory function of the human primary visual cortex

It has been nearly 10 years since Ghazanfar and Schroeder (2006) proposed that the neocortex is essentially multisensory in nature. However, it is only recently that sufficient and hard evidence that supports this proposal has accrued. We review evidence t ...

BCI based on Neural Correlates of Anticipatory Behavior during Driving

Zahra Khaliliardali

Anticipation of events such as, changes in traffic light signals and preparing to brake or accelerate are critical behaviors during driving. Smart vehicles, equipped with on-board Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), could decode the driver's intention to perfo ...

How Anticipated Employee Mobility Affects Acquisition Likelihood: Evidence from a Natural Experiment

Kenneth Younge

This study draws on strategic factor market theory and argues that acquirers' decisions regarding whether to bid for a firm reflect their expectations about employee departure from the firm post-acquisition, suggesting a negative relationship between the a ...

Mixed Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Biological Systems in Ground and Electronically Excited States

Ursula Röthlisberger, Elizabeth Claire Brunk

The current state of the art of Quantum Mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) molecular dynamics approaches in ground and electronically excited states and their applications to biological problems is reviewed. For a complete description of quantum pheno ...

Fibril growth and seeding capacity play key roles in α-synuclein-mediated apoptotic cell death

Hilal Lashuel, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Bohumil Maco, Filip Vercruysse

The role of extracellular α-synuclein (α-syn) in the initiation and the spreading of neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been studied extensively over the past 10 years. However, the nature of the α-syn toxic species and the molecular mechani ...

3D Gaze Tracking and Automatic Gaze Coding from RGB-D Cameras

Jean-Marc Odobez, Kenneth Alberto Funes Mora

Gaze is recognised as one of the most important cues for the analysis of the cognitive behaviors of a person such as the attention displayed towards objects or people, their interactions, functionality and causality patterns. In this short paper, we presen ...

Variational Gaussian Inference for Bilinear Models of Count Data

Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan, Young Jun Ko

Bilinear models of count data with Poisson distribution are popular in applications such as matrix factorization for recommendation systems, modeling of receptive fields of sensory neurons, and modeling of neural-spike trains. Bayesian inference in such mo ...

The control of complex finger movements by directional information flow between mesial frontocentral areas and the primary motor cortex

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Complex movements require the interplay of local activation and interareal communication of sensorimotor brain regions. This is reflected in a decrease of task-related spectral power over the sensorimotor cortices and an increase in functional connectivity ...

Gaussian (dirty) multiple access channels: a compute-and-forward perspective

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jingge Zhu

Lattice codes are applied to the two-user Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) combined with a modified compute-and-forward transmitting scheme. It is shown that non-corner points on the boundary of the capacity region can be achieved by decoding two int ...

A Sequential Topic Model for Mining Recurrent Activities from Long Term Video Logs

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémi Emonet, Jagannadan Varadarajan

This paper introduces a novel probabilistic activity modeling approach that mines recurrent sequential patterns called motifs from documents given as word×time count matrices (e.g., videos). In this model, documents are represented as a mixture of sequenti ...
