Blocking by word frequency and neighborhood density in visual word recognition: A task-specific response criteria account
2004
International audience; Effects of blocking words by frequency class (high vs. low) and neighborhood density (high vs. low) were examined in two experiments using progressive demasking and lexical decision tasks. The aim was to examine the predictions of a task-specific response criteria account of list-blocking effects. Distinct patterns of blocking effects were obtained in the two tasks. In the progressive demasking task, a pure-list disadvantage was obtained to low frequency-high density words, whereas high frequency-low density produced a trend toward a pure-list advantage. In lexical decision, high-frequency words showed a pure-list advantage that was strongest in high-density words, w…

Akustische Masken auf dem Theater/ Maschere acustiche in teatro: Text - Sprache - Performanz/ Testo - Lingua - Performance
2019
I molteplici interessi scientifici e professionali - teatrologici, storici, linguistici, derivanti dall'attuale prassi attoriale e registica - che sono alla base di questi saggi offrono un quadro sfaccettato e complesso delle riflessioni sul discorso della comunicazione teatrale nei due paesi, le cui peculiarita, piu che le somiglianze, spiccando nel confronto, gettano una luce incrociata particolarmente interessante. Il filo rosso che si intreccia alla trama di questi contributi e senz'altro il complesso rapporto che lega la parola del testo teatrale con quella che si realizza sulla scena, ovverosia cio che in realta si puo definire lo specifico dell'evento teatrale in se, il quale si real…
MASK 2017: ARIA digitally-enabled, integrated, person-centred care for rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity using real-world-evidence
2018
mHealth, such as apps running on consumer smart devices is becoming increasingly popular and has the potential to profoundly affect healthcare and health outcomes. However, it may be disruptive and results achieved are not always reaching the goals. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) has evolved from a guideline using the best evidence-based approach to care pathways suited to real-life using mobile technology in allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma multimorbidity. Patients largely use over-the-counter medications dispensed in pharmacies. Shared decision making centered around the patient and based on self-management should be the norm. Mobile Airways Sentinel networK (MASK), th…
Volumetric Bias Correction
2007
This paper presents a method to suppress the bias artifact, also known as RF-inhomogeneity, in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This artifact produces illumination variations due to magnetic field fluctuations of the device. In the latest years many works have been devoted to face this problem. In this work we present the 3D version of a new approach to bias correction, which is called Exponential Entropy Driven Homomorphic Unsharp Masking (E2D-HUM). This technique has been already presented by some of the authors for the 2D case only. The description of the whole method is detailed, and some experimental results are reported.
Gaze position reveals impaired attentional shift during visual word recognition in dysfluent readers
2014
Effects reflecting serial within-word processing are frequently found in pseudo- and non-word recognition tasks not only among fluent, but especially among dyslexic readers. However, the time course and locus of these serial within-word processing effects in the cognitive hierarchy (i.e., orthographic, phonological, lexical) have remained elusive. We studied whether a subject’s eye movements during a lexical decision task would provide information about the temporal dynamics of serial within-word processing. We assumed that if there is serial within-word processing proceeding from left to right, items with informative beginnings would attract the gaze position and (micro-)saccadic eye movem…

To identify factors limiting performance in multitone intensity discrimination, we presented sequences of five pure tones alternating in level between loud (85 dB SPL) and soft (30, 55, or 80 dB SPL). In the “overall-intensity task”, listeners detected a level increment on all of the five tones. In the “masking task”, the level increment was imposed only on the soft tones, rendering the soft tones targets and loud tones task-irrelevant maskers. Decision weights quantifying the importance of the five tone levels for the decision were estimated using methods of molecular psychophysics. Compatible with previous studies, listeners placed higher weights on the loud tones than on the soft tones i…

Il destino nelle parole. Questue, mascheramenti e formule augurali
2016
Le pratiche di questua sono azioni rituali che caratterizzano diversi periodi festivi di tutta l’area euro-mediterranea. Si tratta di richieste di dazione e prelievi di beni (generalmente alimenti) eseguite, secondo diverse modalità e entro precisi segmenti spazio-temporali, da soggetti tradizionalmente demandati a rivestire il ruolo di postulanti (comitati, confratrie, compagnie di adulti, giovani, bambini/e; spesso ma non sempre connotati da speciali costumi e/o maschere e da altri simboli materiali nonché da specifici e peculiari comportamenti). L’auspicata e prefigurata (nelle formule di questua) dazione degli offerenti presuppone un dono da parte dei questuanti che assume spesso, ma no…
