Causal evidence for the involvement of the neural cell adhesion molecule, NCAM, in chronic stress-induced cognitive impairments

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Reto Bisaz

In rodents, chronic stress induces long-lasting structural and functional alterations in the hippocampus, as well as learning and memory impairments. The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) was previously hypothesized to be a key molecule in mediating the ...

Dynamic facial expression recognition with a discrete choice model

Michel Bierlaire, Javier Cruz Mota, Thomas Robin

A generation of new models has been proposed to handle some complex human behaviors. These models account for the data ambiguity, and there- fore extend the application field of the discrete choice modeling. The facial expression recognition (FER) is highl ...

Multisensory mechanisms in temporo-parietal cortex support self-location and first-person perspective

Olaf Blanke, Dominique Chapuis, Roger Gassert, Lukas Heydrich, Silvio Ionta, Bigna Lenggenhager, Michaël Mouthon

Self-consciousness has mostly been approached by philosophical enquiry and not by empirical neuroscientific study, leading to an overabundance of diverging theories and an absence of data-driven theories. Using robotic technology, we achieved specific bodi ...

A new hard rock TBM performance prediction model for project planning

Jian Zhao

Among the models used for performance prediction of hard rock tunnel boring machines two stand out and are often used in the industry. They include the semi theoretical model by Colorado School of Mines and the empirical model by Norwegian University of Sc ...

Comparison of farmers’ mental models of the present and the future: A case study of pesticide use

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Farmers in developing countries will in the future be confronted with major changes. The ability to cope with these challenges rests on their capability to relate future problems to current behavior. Our approach investigates this capability and consists i ...

Modelling human perception of static facial expressions

Michel Bierlaire, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Matteo Sorci, Gianluca Antonini, Javier Cruz Mota, Thomas Robin

A recent internet based survey of over 35'000 samples has shown that when different human observers are asked to assign labels to static human facial expressions, different individuals categorize differently the same image. This fact results in a lack of a ...

Causal semantics for the algebra of connectors

Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze

The Algebra of Connectors AC(P) is used to model structured interactions in the BIP component framework. Its terms are connectors, relations describing synchronization constraints between the ports of component-based systems. Connectors are structured comb ...

Rehabilitating patients with left spatial neglect by prism exposure during a visuomotor activity

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

OBJECTIVE: Adaptation to prisms displacing the visual scene rightward is a therapeutic tool for left unilateral spatial neglect (USN). We aimed at comparing the effects of the classic adaptation procedure (repeated pointing toward visual targets, control t ...

Dynamic facial expression recognition with a discrete choice model

Michel Bierlaire, Javier Cruz Mota, Thomas Robin

We propose a dynamic facial expression recognition framework based on discrete choice models (DCM). We model the choice of a person who has to label a video sequence representing a facial expression. The originality is based on the explicit modeling of cau ...

The Effect of Energy Efficiency Enhancement on Innovation and Competitiveness

Philippe Thalmann, Camille Gonseth

Our results lend support to the Porter Hypothesis and provide a clue to the underlying mechanism. We try to get at the causal effect of energy prices on TFP using a set of observations made annually on a large number of manufacturing industries located in ...
