Interface graphiquethumb|Quelques widgets typiques. En informatique, une interface graphique (en anglais GUI pour graphical user interface) ou un environnement graphique est un dispositif de dialogue homme-machine, dans lequel les objets à manipuler sont dessinés sous forme de pictogrammes à l'écran, de sorte que l'usager peut les utiliser en imitant la manipulation physique de ces objets avec un dispositif de pointage, le plus souvent une souris. Ce type d'interface a été créé en 1973 sur le Xerox Alto par les ingénieurs du Xerox PARC pour remplacer les interfaces en ligne de commande.
Trouble psychiqueUn trouble psychique, qui peut être également désigné sous les termes de trouble psychiatrique ou encore de trouble mental, désigne un ensemble d'affections et troubles d'origines très différentes entraînant des difficultés dans la vie d'un individu et/ou de son entourage, des souffrances et des troubles émotionnels et du comportement. Les troubles psychiques touchent toutes les populations, sans distinction de sexe ou d'âge. Ces troubles peuvent être chroniques ou permanents.
User interface designUser interface (UI) design or user interface engineering is the design of user interfaces for machines and software, such as computers, home appliances, mobile devices, and other electronic devices, with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience. In computer or software design, user interface (UI) design primarily focuses on information architecture. It is the process of building interfaces that clearly communicates to the user what's important. UI design refers to graphical user interfaces and other forms of interface design.
Gamma waveA gamma wave or gamma rhythm is a pattern of neural oscillation in humans with a frequency between 25 and 140 Hz, the 40 Hz point being of particular interest. Gamma rhythms are correlated with large scale brain network activity and cognitive phenomena such as working memory, attention, and perceptual grouping, and can be increased in amplitude via meditation or neurostimulation. Altered gamma activity has been observed in many mood and cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and schizophrenia.
Motor imageryMotor imagery is a mental process by which an individual rehearses or simulates a given action. It is widely used in sport training as mental practice of action, neurological rehabilitation, and has also been employed as a research paradigm in cognitive neuroscience and cognitive psychology to investigate the content and the structure of covert processes (i.e., unconscious) that precede the execution of action. In some medical, musical, and athletic contexts, when paired with physical rehearsal, mental rehearsal can be as effective as pure physical rehearsal (practice) of an action.
Mental health counselorA mental health counselor (MHC), or counselor (counsellor in British English), is a person who works with individuals and groups to promote optimum mental and emotional health. Such persons may help individuals deal with issues associated with addiction and substance abuse; family, parenting, and marital problems; stress management; self-esteem; and aging. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics distinguishes "Mental Health Counselors" from "Social Workers", "Psychiatrists", and "Psychologists".
Mental health professionalA mental health professional is a health care practitioner or social and human services provider who offers services for the purpose of improving an individual's mental health or to treat mental disorders. This broad category was developed as a name for community personnel who worked in the new community mental health agencies begun in the 1970s to assist individuals moving from state hospitals, to prevent admissions, and to provide support in homes, jobs, education, and community. These individuals (i.e.
Psychiatrie communautaireLa psychiatrie communautaire se concentre sur la détection, la prévention, le traitement précoce et la réhabilitation des patients avec troubles émotionnels et sociaux tant que ceux-ci sont développés dans la communauté plutôt qu'en face à face, dans la clinique privée ou dans de larges institutions psychiatriques. Une importance particulière est donnée aux facteurs sociaux, interpersonnels et environnementaux qui contribuent à la maladie mentale.
Attentionthumb|250px|Jeune fille se concentrant sur une tâche manuelle ; le regard, la respiration, la position du corps et en particulier des mains et le contrôle neuro musculaire sont mobilisés de concert pour assurer la précision du mouvement L'attention est la faculté de l'esprit de se consacrer à un objet : d'utiliser ses capacités à l'observation, l'étude, le jugement d'une chose quelle qu'elle soit, ou encore à la pratique d'une action.
Mode (user interface)In user interface design, a mode is a distinct setting within a computer program or any physical machine interface, in which the same user input will produce perceived results different from those that it would in other settings. Modal interface components include the Caps lock and Insert keys on the standard computer keyboard, both of which typically put the user's typing into a different mode after being pressed, then return it to the regular mode after being re-pressed. An interface that uses no modes is known as a modeless interface.
