Valuable monetary rewards can boost human performance on various effortful tasks even when the value of the rewards is presented too briefly to allow for strategic decision making. However, the mechanism by which briefly-presented reward information influences performance has remained unclear. One possibility is that performance after briefly-presented reward information is primarily boosted vi...

Conventionally, a pulse taking platform is based on a single sensor, which initiates a feasible method of quantitative pulse diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to implement a pulse taking platform with a tactile array sensor. Three-dimensional wrist pulse signals are constructed, and the length, width, ascending slope, and descending slope are defined following the surface of the wrist pulse. ...

The effect of stance width on postural responses to 12 different directions of surface translations was examined. Postural responses were characterized by recording 11 lower limb and trunk muscles, body kinematics, and forces exerted under each foot of 7 healthy subjects while they were subjected to horizontal surface translations in 12 different, randomly presented directions. A quasi-static a...

BACKGROUND To date, no direct measurement has been done that quantitatively characterizes the foot-ground contact during Tai Chi Chuan movements. The goal of this study was to quantify the biomechanical characteristics of foot-ground contact during a Tai Chi gait (TCG), one of the basic but common Tai Chi Chuan movements. METHODS The ground reaction force profiles, center of pressure (COP) an...

▪ Leary’s Rose: a model that divides interpersonal stances in the dimensions of dominance and friendliness. ▪ My proposal: virtual characters use this model to reason OOC to adopt an IC stance that opposes that of the police officer. ▪ Example below: a police officer has a friendly-submissive (cooperative) stance toward a juvenile. ▪ OOC the juvenile adopts an opposing hostile-dominant stance (...
