introduction: motor skills play an important role during life span, and older adults need to learn or relearn these skills. the purpose of this study was to investigate how aging affects induction of improved movement performance by motor training. methods: serial reaction time test (srtt) was used to assess movement performance during 8 blocks of motor training. participants were tested in two...

A supervised algorithm for computing perceptual groupings in dot patterns is presented. The algorithm uses shape features of the polygons in the Voronoi tessellation of the input pattern. The training patterns identified b y humans are used to obtain an initial noncontextual classification which is then refined b y a probabilistic relaxation labeling.

IBM’s TrueNorth neurosynaptic processor is a radical departure from decades of traditional von Neumann computing. Containing 5.4 billion transistors and fabricated in a 28nm low-power CMOS process technology, TrueNorth contains 1 million neurons and 256 million synapses. With applications ranging from embedded and embodied intelligence to large-scale perceptual analysis of streaming multi-senso...

The use of Cloud Computing has increasedrapidly in many organization .Cloud Computing provides many benefits in terms of low cost and accessibility of data. In addition Cloud Computing was predicted to transform the computing world from using local applications and storage into centralized services provided by organization.[10] Ensuring the security of Cloud Computing is major factor in the Clo...

Affective computing is currently one of the most active research topics, furthermore, having increasingly intensive attention. This strong interest is driven by a wide spectrum of promising applications in many areas such as virtual reality, smart surveillance, perceptual interface, etc. Affective computing concerns multidisciplinary knowledge background such as psychology, cognitive, physiolog...

A new mathematical modeling technique known as soft computing is showing promise in modeling complex human behaviors. This paper will discuss the theoretical concepts of a soft computing technique, neurofuzzy systems. This technique has direct application to behavioral modeling of synthetic forces. Furthermore, the paper will present a specific experiment and modeling of the human operator’s be...

Perceptual representations pick out individuals and attribute properties to them. This paper considers the role of perceptual attribution in determining or guiding reference objects. We consider three extant models relation between reference–all guides reference, no a privileged subset attributions reference–and argue that empirical evidence undermines all three. then defend flexible-attributiv...

Perceptual constancy has played a significant role in philosophy of perception. It figures debates about direct realism, color ontology, and the minimal conditions for perceptual representation. Despite this, there is no general consensus what is. I argue that an adequate account must distinguish it from three distinct phenomena: mere sensory stability through proximal change, categorization di...
