Parabolic geometric flows are smoothing for short time however, over long time, singularities typically unavoidable, can be very nasty and may impossible to classify. The idea of [CM6] here is that, by bringing in the dynamical properties flow, we obtain also large generic initial conditions. When combined with [CM1], this shows, an important special case, simplest possible. question dynamics a...

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), especially aggressiveness, wandering, and sleep disturbance, are a major burden for caregivers. Daily sleep/wake patterns and wandering of institutionalized patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) were visually monitored, and 34 patients who manifested wandering were selected and randomly classified into 2 groups: the risperidone group an...

We present a fully-automated person-independent approach to track mind wandering by monitoring eye gaze during reading. We tracked eye gaze of 84 students who engaged in an approximately 30-minute self-paced reading task on research methods. Mind wandering reports were collected by auditorily probing students in-between and after reading certain pages. Supervised classifiers trained on global a...

BACKGROUND Wandering spleen is a rare condition which if uncorrected, can result in torsion and infarction. Clinical presentation of a wandering spleen can vary from asymptomatic abdominal mass to acute abdominal pain. Radiological investigations play a pivotal role in diagnosis as the clinical diagnosis is usually impossible. CASE REPORT We present a case of wandering spleen with torsion and...

We present a series of propositions that explains why people find sitting quietly in a dark room strongly aversive (Wilson et al., 2014). (i) Conflict-monitoring is an essential cognitive function; likely performed at the level of information processing conflicts (Botvinick et al, 2001) (ii) Memory is sensitized to processing conflicts; if a conflict has not been resolved in real-time, it is re...

Mind wandering (i.e. engaging in cognitions unrelated to the current demands of the external environment) reflects the cyclic activity of two core processes: the capacity to disengage attention from perception (known as perceptual decoupling) and the ability to take explicit note of the current contents of consciousness (known as meta-awareness). Research on perceptual decoupling demonstrates t...
