Ambient intelligence with personal media is an emergent area that has impact on scientific discovery in life science, healthcare and social studies. The paper introduces case studies in building those personal media for scientific discovery. Feature tracking and feature registration are two major technical challenges in the personal media based data mining. The author explores the relative obje...

Objective. The objective is to assess performance on virtual reality spatial memory tasks as well as classical neuropsychological tests in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). Methods. Fifteen FM patients and fifteen healthy ageand education-matched controls performed the virtual versions of the Morris water maze and the hole board (a virtual version called Boxes room). All participants also comple...

The paper outlines an analysis of two types of information ordinary and subjective, consideration is given to the difference between the concepts of intelligence and perceiving mind. It also provides description of some logical functional features of consciousness. A technical approach is proposed to technical obtaining of subjective information by changing the signal’s time degree of freedom t...

This study examined estimates of their own, and their parents' general and multiple intelligences. Three hundred and twenty three students from East Timor, and one hundred eighty three students from Portugal estimated their own, and their parents' IQ scores on each of Gardner's ten multiple intelligences. Men believed they were more intelligent than were women on mathematical (logical), spatial...

A processor is proposed for spatially modulated or patterned signals. Two voltage impulses are transmitted along the coupled wires and they are considered as a predicate expression. The developed gates and processor perform the predicate logical operations AND, NOT and OR with these expressions. The designed processor is applicable to the artificial intelligence area especially it will be usefu...

held Sunday and Monday, July 22–23, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The program included the following thirteen workshops: (1) Acquiring Planning Knowledge via Demonstration; (2) Configuration; (3) Evaluating Architectures for Intelligence; (4) Evaluation Methods for Machine Learning; (5) ExplanationAware Computing; (6) Human Implications of Human-Robot Interaction; (7) Intelligent Tech...

We examined the functional role of white matter growth in cognitive development. Specifically, we used hierarchical regression analyses to test the unique contributions of age versus white matter integrity in accounting for the development of information processing speed. Diffusion tensor imaging was acquired for 17 children and adolescents (age range 6-17 years), with apparent diffusion coeffi...

Intelligence tests often use geometric proportional analogies to examine the intelligence quotient of humans. Completing such a series of geometric figures can be a cognitively demanding task, because the solution requires a suitable conceptualization of the geometric figures. Furthermore, there might exist several, equally correct solutions depending on the conceptualization. In this paper, we...

Here, we explore the role of short-term storage, mental speed, processing efficiency, and controlled attention to account for the relationship between working memory and fluid intelligence. Ninety-six secondary school students were assessed by several tests and tasks to tap these psychological constructs. Specifically, each construct was measured by two tests or tasks from different content dom...
