The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Motor Imagery (MI) training on language comprehension. In line with literature suggesting an intimate relationship between the language and the motor system, we proposed that a MI-training could imp ...
In this paper, we develop Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems for multi-genre speech recognition of low-resource languages where training data is predominantly conversational speech but test data can be in one of the following genres: news broadcast ...
Sign language technology, unlike spoken language technology, is an emerging area of research. Sign language technologies can help in bridging the gap between the Deaf community and the hearing community. One such computer-aided technology is sign language ...
Tasks that require the cooperation of both hands and arms are common in human everyday life. Coordination helps to synchronize in space and temporally motion of the upper limbs. In fine bimanual tasks, coordination enables also to achieve higher degrees of ...
We present novel, low-cost and non-invasive potential diagnostic biomarkers of schizophrenia. They are based on the 'mirrorgame', a coordination task in which two partners are asked to mimic each other's hand movements. In particular, we use the patient's ...
Motor skill acquisition is essential to our survival, as it enables an efficient interaction with the changing world around us. The acquisition of novel sequential tasks, of particular relevance due to their pervasiveness in everyday life activities, can b ...
Language acquisition theories classically distinguish passive language understanding from active language production. However, recent findings show that brain areas such as Broca's region are shared in language understanding and production. Furthermore, th ...
Current biomedical research increasingly requires imaging large and thick 3D structures at high resolution. Prominent examples are the tracking of fine filaments over long distances in brain slices, or the localization of gene expression or cell migration ...
