Standing alone with prosodic help.
Two partially independent issues are addressed in two auditory rating studies: under what circumstances is a sub-string of a sentence identified as a stand-alone sentence, and under what circumstances do globally ill-formed but 'locally coherent' analyses (Tabor, Galantucci, & Richardson., 2004) emerge? A new type of locally coherent structure is established in Experiment 1, where a that-less c...
متن کاملCan muscle stiffness alone stabilize upright standing?
A stiffness control model for the stabilization of sway has been proposed recently. This paper discusses two inadequacies of the model: modeling and empiric consistency. First, we show that the in-phase relation between the trajectories of the center of pressure and the center of mass is determined by physics, not by control patterns. Second, we show that physiological values of stiffness of th...
متن کاملAnkle muscle stiffness alone cannot stabilize balance during quiet standing.
This communication addresses again the hypothesis that the stabilization of balance during quiet standing is achieved by the stiffness of ankle muscles without anticipatory active control. It is shown that a recently proposed method of estimating ankle stiffness directly from the analysis of the posturographic data is incorrect because it ignores the modulation of motoneuronal activity and gros...
متن کاملUniqueness, Individuality, and Human Cloning
This paper challenges two main arguments often presented to show that cloning a human being would be morally wrong per se. These arguments are that human cloning would be intrinsically wrong 1) because it involves manufacturing a person rather than creating or reproducing one, and 2) because it violates some claim or right that individuals have to be biologically unique. I argue that while clon...
متن کاملStanding Human - an Inverted Pendulum
A standing posture looks like an inverted pendulum, and its stabilization mechanism has been catching scientists' attention for ages. In this note, the posture stability is delineated at the lowest level-mechanical model. The foot sole is simplified as a twisted spring to stable the posture. The critical spring coefficient is derived.
