The paper discusses diierent approaches to the analysis of nite verb position in German within the framework of HPSG. It argues that among three parameters (a) standard subcatego-rization and adjunction, (b) uniform structural representation and (c) clause initial nite verbs as heads, only two can be maintained simultaneously, unless additional devices are introduced. We abandon (c) and present...

We reported a 17-year-ole male presented with repetitive head punching as rhythmic movement during sleep. Rhythmic movement disorder (RMD) during sleep refers to a number of activities characterized by repetitive stereotyped movements such as rhythmic oscillations of the head, limbs, or body. The repetitive movement like punching on the head in our case is a rare form. The patient's symptom was...

OBJECTIVES Patients with uncompensated vestibular dysfunction frequently report blurred vision during head movement, a symptom termed oscillopsia. One way to measure the functional deficit associated with an impaired vestibulo-ocular reflex is by comparing visual acuity from a baseline condition in which there is no head movement to visual acuity obtained during a dynamic condition with head mo...

The posterior parietal cortex may function as an interface between sensory and motor cortices and thus could be involved in the formation of motor plans as well as abstract representations of space. We have recorded from neurons in the intraparietal sulcus, namely, the ventral and medial intraparietal areas (VIP and MIP, respectively), and analyzed their head-movement-related signals in relatio...

The aim of the study was to examine how visual speech (speech related head and face movement) might vary as a function of communicative environment. To this end, measurements of head and face movement were recorded for four talkers who uttered the same ten sentences in quiet and four types of background noise condition (Babble and White noise presented through ear plugs or loud speakers). These...

Previous work in automatic affect analysis (AAA) has emphasized static expressions to the neglect of the dynamics of facial movement and considered head movement only a nuisance variable to control. We investigated whether the dynamics of head and facial movements apart from specific facial expressions communicate affect in infants, an under-studied population in AAA. Age-appropriate tasks were...

Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of subjects to adjust the control of limb movements to counteract the effects of self-generated loads. The degree to which subjects change control signals to compensate for these loads is a reflection of the extent to which forces affecting movement are represented in motion planning. Here, we have used empirical and modeling studies to examine wheth...
