Abstract The concern that artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to manipulate individuals, with undesirable consequences for the manipulated individual as well society a whole, plays key role in debate on ethics of AI. This chapter uses case political manipulation voters and vulnerable consumers studies explore how AI contribute facilitate such evaluated from an ethical perspective. presents...

Models of a ect are used in virtual characters to increase their believability. In some speci c situation the underlying appraisal theory predicts more than one possible emotion. Both anger and sadness are generated if another person does something blameworthy that is negative for your own goals. However, it is not clear which one is more believable to express. Based on experimental and theoret...

To investigate the perception of emotional facial expressions, researchers rely on shared sets of photos or videos, most often generated by actor portrayals. The drawback of such standardized material is a lack of flexibility and controllability, as it does not allow the systematic parametric manipulation of specific features of facial expressions on the one hand, and of more general properties...

objective: this is a parallel, three group, randomized, controlled clinical trial, with outcomes evaluated up to three months after randomization for children and adolescents with chronic nail biting. the current study investigates the efficacy of habit reversal training (hrt) and compares its effect with object manipulation training (omt) considering the limitations of the current literature ....

cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. during such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. therefore, to design and dev...

2 Numerous ERP-studies reveal the differential processing of emotional and neutral stimuli. Yet, it is an ongoing debate to what extent the ERP-components found in previous research are sensitive to physical stimulus characteristics or emotional meaning. The present study manipulated emotional meaning and stimulus orientation to disentangle the impact of stimulus physics and semantics on emotio...

This study investigated sexual coercion (perpetration and victimisation) in women. Women (N = 151) aged 18–63 years (M 23.34, SD 8.80) completed standardised questionnaires measuring (nonverbal arousal, emotional manipulation deception, exploitation of the intoxicated), personality disorder traits (Borderline Histrionic), love styles (Eros, Ludus, Storge, Pragma, Mania, Agape), rejection sensit...

Pregnant women experience extensive physiologic and structural changes during pregnancy that affect their daily functioning. The addition of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to the standard care of pregnant women has been hypothesized to enhance homeostasis and improve quality of life as the body adapts to these changes. Specifically, it has been postulated that OMT can ease pain in pre...

The use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) during pregnancy has a long tradition in osteopathic medicine. A retrospective study was designed to compare a group of women who received prenatal OMT with a matched group that did not receive prenatal OMT. The medical records of 160 women from four cities who received prenatal OMT were reviewed for the occurrence of meconium-stained amniotic...

Reports of modulations of early visual processing suggest that retinotopic visual cortex may actively predict upcoming stimuli. We tested this idea by showing healthy human participants images of human faces at fixation, with different emotional expressions predicting stimuli in either the upper or the lower visual field. On infrequent test trials, emotional faces were followed by combined stim...
