We investigated the influence of motion context on tactile localization, using a paradigm similar to the cutaneous rabbit or sensory saltation (Geldard FA, Sherrick CE. Science 178: 178-179, 1972). In one of its forms, the rabbit stimulus consists of a tap in one location quickly followed by another tap elsewhere, creating the illusion that the two taps are near each other. Instead of taps, we ...

We present numerical methods for both the direct solution and simulation of the chemical master equation (CME), and, compared to popular methods in current use, such as the Gillespie stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) and τ -Leap approximations, this new approach has the advantage of being able to detect when the system has settled down to equilibrium. This improved performance is due to the...

A new scope of human-computer interaction utilizes the algorithms of computer vision and image processing for detecting the gesture, understanding its objective and making it meaningful for the computer to understand and then interact with the humans. The recent introduction of "Leap Motion" is a big revolution in the field of gesture control technology. Using gesture control mode in the field ...

In this work, the perception of affordances was analysed in terms of cognitive neuroscience during an interactive experience in a virtual reality environment. In particular, we chose a virtual reality scenario based on the Leap Motion controller: this sensor device captures the movements of the user's hand and fingers, which are reproduced on a computer screen by the proper software application...

Previous research has illustrated that locationbased routing protocols improve the effectiveness of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing. The goal of a location server, which may be used in conjunction with a locationbased routing protocol, is to provide accurate location information on the mobile nodes in the network. In this paper, we implement a location server for a MANET using our Legend ...

This paper proposes an efficient pattern extraction algorithm that can be applied on melodic sequences that are represented as strings of abstract intervallic symbols; the melodic representation introduces special ‘‘binary don’t care’’ symbols for intervals that may belong to two partially overlapping intervallic categories. As a special case the well established ‘‘step–leap’’ representation is...
