Postural control and attentional demand during adolescence

Estelle Palluel

In the present study we aimed to determine the attentional cost of postural control during adolescence by studying the influence of a cognitive task on concurrent postural control. 38 teenagers aged 12 to 17years and 13 young adults (mean age=26.1) stood b ...

Vlogcast Yourself: Nonverbal Behavior and Attention in Social Media

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Joan Isaac Biel Tres

We introduce vlogs as a type of rich human interaction which is multimodal in nature and suitable for new large-scale behavioral data analysis. The automatic analysis of vlogs is useful not only to study social media, but also remote communication scenario ...

Attention to Multiple Local Critics in Decision Making and Control

Arash Arami

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 ...

Eye fixation-related potentials in change detection

Gijs Plomp

We considered the hypothesis that spontaneous dissociation between the direction of attention and eye movement causes encoding failure in change detection. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing eye fixation-related potentials (EFRP) at the encoding stage ...

Working memory load improves early stages of independent visual processing

Roberto Martuzzi

Increasing evidence suggests that working memory and perceptual processes are dynamically interrelated due to modulating activity in overlapping brain networks. However, the direct influence of working memory on the spatio-temporal brain dynamics of behavi ...

Imitative Learning Based Emotional Controller for Unknown Systems with Unstable Equilibrium

Arash Arami

Purpose – Intelligent control for unidentified systems with unstable equilibriums is not always a proper control strategy, which results in inferior performance in many cases. Because of the existing trial and error manner of the procedure in former durati ...

Simulating Viscoplastic Avalanches

Martin Rentschler

This is a numerical investigation of a yield-stress fluid flowing down an inclined plane. A three-dimensional, free-surface, two-phase incompressible Navier-Stokes solver is extended to handle generalized Newtonian fluids. Special attention is spent on the ...

Functional specialization and dynamic resource allocation in visual cortex

Gijs Plomp

We studied the spatiotemporal characteristics of cortical activity in early visual areas and the fusiform gyri (FG) by means of magnetoencephalography (MEG). Subjects performed a visual classification task, in which letters and visually similar pseudolette ...
