Egocentric action anticipation consists in predicting a future the camera wearer will perform from egocentric video. While task has recently attracted attention of research community, current approaches assume that input videos are “trimmed”, meaning short video sequence is sampled fixed time before beginning action. We argue that, despite recent advances field, trimmed limited applicability re...

Adolescence is the time of peak onset for many anxiety disorders, particularly Social Anxiety Disorder. Research using simulated social interactions consistently finds differential activation in several brain regions in anxious (vs non-anxious) youth, including amygdala, striatum and medial prefrontal cortex. However, few studies examined the anticipation of peer interactions, a key component i...

Results: The moderating influence of social anxiety was found to vary with type of demand. During passive stressor anticipation, self-focus augmented distress-related vascular reactivity in high but not in low socially anxious individuals. During speech preparation selffocus was found to facilitate task engagement and cardiac reactivity in low socially anxious individuals, whereas high anxious ...

We tested whether dreams can anticipate a stressful exam and how failure/success in dreams affect next-day performance. We collected information on students' dreams during the night preceding the medical school entrance exam. Demographic, academic, sleep and dream characteristics were compared to the students' grades on the exam. Of the 719 respondents to the questionnaire (of 2324 total studen...

Finite-state encoders that encode n-ary data into a constrained system S are considered. The anticipation, or decoding delay, of such an (S, n)-encoder is the number of symbols that a state-dependent decoder needs to look ahead in order to recover the current input symbol. Upper bounds are obtained on the smallest attainable number of states of any (S, n)-encoder with anticipation t. Those boun...

Anticipation is the phenomenon whereby age of onset in genetic disease decreases in successive generations. Three independent reports have claimed anticipation in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) caused by the c.598G > A mutation in PRNP encoding a p.Glu200Lys (E200K) substitution in the prion protein. If confirmed, this finding would carry clear implications for genetic counseling. We analyzed ...

Purpose: Scapular dyskinesia is a change in position or movement of scapula, which is highly prevalent in athletes with overhead activities. In addition to biomechanical changes in shoulder complex, neurocognitive impairments can have a significant role in its creation. Thus, this study aimed to compare neurocognitive scores between athletes with and without scapular dyskinesia. Methods: I...

According to the standard definition of anticipatory systems, anticipation is based on a predictive model of the system itself and its environment. The paper abandons this perspective of weak anticipation in favor of what has been called strong anticipation. It is proposed that anticipation is a consequence of canalization caused by the organization of the structural building-blocks of which th...

In conference interpretation research, anticipation is usually seen as the oral production of a particular part of a message in special circumstances. In psychophysiological research, however, anticipation is a mental process. The article presents a revised defmition of anticipation that takes account of both approaches. It does so in terms of delibérate enrichment, a conceptual tool from relev...
