Meditation is a practice that has been used for hundreds of years by people desiring to alter their state of consciousness. Recent brain imaging studies have shown functional correlates of meditation on brain function. In this study, we aimed to examine th ...
Collaborative control architectures assist human users in performing tasks, without undermining their capabilities or curtailing the natural development of their skills. In this study, we evaluate our collaborative control architecture by investigating the ...
This paper presents the Structural Mental Model Approach aimed at understanding differences in perception between experts and farmers regarding the various livelihood risks farmers are confronted with. The SMMA combines the Sustainable Livelihood Framework ...
Dealing with uncertainties and lack of knowledge about problems and situations, there is a perpetual difficulty to evaluate the situations and action values in all time steps. On the other hand, the design of critics which delicately guide the agent even w ...
The characterization and recognition of electrical signatures of brain activity constitutes a real challenge. Applications such as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are based on the accurate identification of mental processes in order to control external dev ...
Attentional modulation is needed when a decision maker is faced with too much information to process. In this paper we discuss the use of attention in control applications where usually higher order system dynamics are involved as typical benchmarks consid ...
Pesticide application is increasing and despite extensive educational programs farmers continue to take high health and environmental risks when applying pesticides. The structured mental model approach (SMMA) is a new method for risk perception analysis. ...
In recent years, new research has brought the field of electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain–computer interfacing (BCI) out of its infancy and into a phase of relative maturity through many demonstrated prototypes such as brain-controlled wheelchairs, key ...
We tested whether putting oneself in the shoes of others is easier for women, possibly as a function of individuals' empathy levels, and whether any sex difference might be modulated by the sex of presented figures. Participants (N=100, 50 women) imagined ...
