This paper is concerned with the problem of exploiting pause information for recovering dependency structures of read Japanese sentences. In our past work, two kinds of pauses were employed: post-phrase pause that immediately succeeds a phrase in question, and post-postphrase pause which immediately succeeds the phrase that follows a phrase in question. It was found that simultaneous use of two...

Our sensorimotor experience unfolds in sequences over time. We hypothesize that the processing of movement sequences with and without a temporal pause will recruit distinct but cooperating neural processes, including cortico-striatal and cortico-cerebellar networks. We thus, compare neural activity during sequence learning in the presence and absence of this pause. Young volunteer participants ...
