Motor-Unit Ordering of Blindly-Separated Surface-EMG Signals for Gesture Recognition

Pasquale Davide Schiavone, Elisa Donati

Hand gestures are one of the most natural and expressive way for humans to convey information, and thus hand gesture recognition has become a research hotspot in the human-machine interface (HMI) field. In particular, biological signals such as surface ele ...

The micro-world of cographs

Dominique de Werra

Cographs constitute a small point in the atlas of graph classes. However, by zooming in on this point, we discover a complex world, where many parameters jump from finiteness to infinity. In the present paper, we identify several milestones in the world of ...

Restoration of sensory information via bionic hands

Silvestro Micera

This Review discusses non-invasive and invasive technologies for conveying artificial sensory feedback through bionic hands. Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury can use prosthetic hands to restore th ...

Framework to Approximate the Value of Information of Bridge Load Testing for Reserve Capacity Assessment

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola, Marco Proverbio

In developed countries, structural assessment of existing bridges should not be performed using the same conservative models that are used at the design stage. Field measurements of real behavior provide additional information for the inference of previous ...

Extended Formulations from Communication Protocols in Output-Efficient Time

Yuri Faenza, Manuel Francesco Aprile

Deterministic protocols are well-known tools to obtain extended formulations, with many applications to polytopes arising in combinatorial optimization. Although constructive, those tools are not output-efficient, since the time needed to produce the exten ...

Creating a neuroprosthesis for active tactile exploration of textures

Solaiman Shokur, Miguel Nicolelis

Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) can produce percepts that mimic somatic sensation and, thus, has potential as an approach to sensorize prosthetic limbs. However, it is not known whether ICMS could recreate act ...

Statistical Physics Methods for Community Detection

Chun Lam Chan

This thesis is devoted to information-theoretic aspects of community detection. The importance of community detection is due to the massive amount of scientific data today that describes relationships between items from a network, e.g., a social network. I ...

On some problems related to 2-level polytopes

Manuel Francesco Aprile

In this thesis we investigate a number of problems related to 2-level polytopes, in particular from the point of view of the combinatorial structure and the extension complexity. 2-level polytopes were introduced as a generalization of stable set polytopes ...

Perceptual Information Loss due to Impaired Speech Production

Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei

Phonological classes define articulatory-free and articulatory-bound phone attributes. Deep neural network is used to estimate the probability of phonological classes from the speech signal. In theory, a unique combination of phone attributes form a phonem ...

Personal familiarity enhances sensitivity to horizontal structure during processing of face identity

Mattew Pachai

What makes identification of familiar faces seemingly effortless? Recent studies using unfamiliar face stimuli suggest that selective processing of information conveyed by horizontally oriented spatial frequency components supports accurate performance in ...
