Running head: 9 Updating gain for online visuomotor control 10

To capture objects by hand, online motor corrections are required to compensate for self-body movements. Recent studies have shown that background visual motion, usually caused by body movement, plays a significant role in such online corrections. Visual motion applied during a reaching movement induces a rapid and automatic manual following response (MFR) in the direction of the visual motion....

The Gene Ontology aims to define the universe of functions known for gene products, at the molecular, cellular and organism levels. While the ontology is designed to cover all aspects of biology in a “species independent manner,” the fact remains that many if not most biological functions are restricted in their taxonomic range. This is simply because functions evolve, i.e. like other biologica...

Background Computer-based inline VF software can aid in the quantitative analysis of left ventricular (LV) function. Inline VF automatically locates the LV base and apex, detects endoand epicardial contours in each cardiac slice and phase, and performs a volumetric calculation to determine ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV). The method presents an oppo...

Utilization of a manual sampling function as an alternative to the automatic sampling function in the Alco-Sensor IV Black Dot Model has been recognized by the manufacturer to potentially underestimate an individual's true breath alcohol content (BrAC). A controlled human subject study was conducted to analyze the possible breath-sampling differences between the standard automatic technique and...

This study describes a new simulator that provides haptic biofeedback to help manual wheelchair users gain a more effective propulsion pattern. Propulsion effectiveness is measured using the mechanical effective force (MEF). The simulator implements a dynamic model that replicates overground propulsion conditions. Haptic biofeedback increases the feeling of rolling resistance if the user’s MEF ...

The performance of unsupervised discriminative training has been found to be highly dependent on the accuracy of the initial automatic transcription. This paper examines a strategy where a relatively small amount of poorly recognised data are manually transcribed to supplement the automatically transcribed data. Experiments were carried out on a Mandarin broadcast transcription task using both ...

To develop and deliver software to the customer, validating its quality is highly important. Software testing can be performed manually or using automation tools to identify defects, assess the quality of the product and gain confidence in the software being developed. Automation tools helps in design and execution of test scripts saving time and cost involved in manual testing. This paper main...

Manual opacity transfer function editing for volume rendering can be a difficult and counter-intuitive process. This paper proposes a logarithmically scaled editor, and argues that such a scale relates the height of the transfer function to the rendered intensity of a region of particular density in the volume almost directly, resulting in much improved, simpler manual transfer function editing.
