BACKGROUND We recently demonstrated that decline in fluid intelligence is a substantial contributor to frontal deficits. For some classical 'executive' tasks, such as the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and Verbal Fluency, frontal deficits were entirely explained by fluid intelligence. However, on a second set of frontal tasks, deficits remained even after statistically controlling for this ...

Thinking is biological work and involves the allocation of cognitive resources. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of fluid intelligence on the allocation of cognitive resources while processing low-level and high-level cognitive tasks. Individuals with high versus average fluid intelligence performed low-level choice reaction time tasks and highlevel geometric analogy tasks. W...

Background: Multiple sclerosis is one of the most debilitating diseases of the central nervous system, which has chronic process. Clinical manifestations of this disease can also affect their daily activities and, as a result, reduce the quality of life in these people. Thus, considering the importance of quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis, the present study examines the relati...

Modern conditions of functioning industrial enterprises associated with a high degree market competitiveness, conditions, necessitate the improvement production process management in order to optimize production, reduce losses and increase labor productivity. The prompt effective solution these tasks is possible through use artificial intelligence, which allows not only collect, analyze structu...

In this paper a multi agent platform targeted towards the area of computational intelligence modeling is presented. We show the design of various computational agents and multi agent systems, as well as the infrastructure capabilities. The focus of the system is the interchangeability of computational components, their autonomous behavior, and emergence of new models. It is demonstrated that su...

Thinking is biological work and involves the allocation of cognitive resources. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of fluid intelligence on the allocation of cognitive resources while one is processing low-level and high-level cognitive tasks. Individuals with high versus average fluid intelligence performed low-level choice reaction time tasks and high-level geometric analogy ...

This paper presents a set of mechanisms oriented to incorporate social information into the decision taking of task-oriented 3DIVA. The aim of this approach is to integrate collaborative skills in different character’s roles (seller/buyer, worker, pedestrian, etc.) in order to enhance its behavioral animation. The collective intelligence expected in this kind of multi-character domains (e.g. st...

This thesis describes a number of context-based prediction techniques as a part of business intelligence (BI) solutions. Computerized systems have influenced development and expansion of different domains. Decreasing computer size and increasing computational power allowed developing sensors for different tasks. Continuous sensor performance monitoring at regular intervals resulted that huge da...
