Shaping Reality through Mental Rehearsal.

Previous research has shown that mental rehearsal can improve performance. A new study by Vyas et al. (2018) reveals that direct modulation of neural dynamics using a brain-computer interface can also modify physical movements. The study further demonstrates that "mental practice" and physical movements share a common neural subspace.

Nurbs Surface Shaping in a Virtual Reality Environment

The use of 3D tracking systems in a Virtual Reality environment may definitely change CAD interfaces and free-form surface modelling. In this paper an original method for full 3D interactive surface shaping and modifying is described. VISM (Virtual Integrated Surface Modeller) has been developed with the leading idea that 3D tracking system can dramatically speed up modelling sessions. On the o...

Shaping Bits

The performance of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) with bit shaping (i.e., non-equiprobable bit probabilities in the underlying binary code) is studied. For the Gaussian channel, the rates achievable with BICM and bit shaping are practically identical to those of coded modulation or multilevel coding. This identity holds for the whole range of values of signalto-noise ratio. Moreover, t...

Attention Shaping*

The paper examines software risk management in a novel way in which managers address risks through sequential attention shaping and intervention. These risks represent incongruent states within and between the four components of Leavitt's model: task, structure, technology, and actors. Such a state can in the extreme case lead to a failure of developing or implementing the software, and thus to...
