--Searching for relevant knowledge across heterogeneous geospatial databases requires an extensive knowledge of the semantic meaning of images, a keen eye for visual patterns, and efficient strategies for collecting and analyzing data with minimal human intervention. In this paper, we present our recently developed content-based Geospatial Image Retrieval includes Content-based image retrieval ...

The neuroimaging and neurophysiological literature on inner speech in healthy participants and those who experience auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) is reviewed. AVH-hearers in remission and controls do not differ neurologically on tasks involving low levels of verbal self-monitoring (VSM), such as reciting sentences in inner speech. In contrast, on tasks involving high levels of VSM, such...

When people hear two actors reciting a conversation in a poem, they become attuned to the kinds of sounds that they are producing, which may not be apparent in the printed text of the poem. This result depends on certain habitual patterns of how people read or how things should be read in a performance. Performative patterns suggest certain kinds of rhythmic possibilities, time, timbre and into...

We investigated the brain systems engaged during propositional speech (PrSp) and two forms of non- propositional speech (NPrSp): counting and reciting overlearned nursery rhymes. Bilateral cerebral and cerebellar regions were involved in the motor act of articulation, irrespective of the type of speech.

For each cue an introvert and an extrovert variant is defined. Little is known about the perceptual effects of combining personality cues. This is addressed by creating personality profiles, consisting of ...

Previous research suggests that older adults may have difficulty attending to simultaneous tasks. This study was conducted to determine how concurrent performance of a secondary cognitive task influences walking and stepping over an obstacle in community dwelling older adults. Twenty-one men and women with a mean age of 73.4 years (S.D.=5.3) participated in the study. Subjects performed a gait ...

In this paper we describe a real-time speech-driven method for synthesising realistic video sequences of a subject enunciating arbitrary phrases. In an offline training phase an active appearance model (AAM) is constructed from hand-labelled images and is used to encode the face of a subject reciting a few training sentences. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) coupled with linear regression i...
