Reading changes in children and adolescents with dyslexia after transcranial direct current stimulation.
2016
Noninvasive brain stimulation offers the possibility to induce changes in cortical excitability and it is an interesting option as a remediation tool for the treatment of developmental disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reading and reading-related skills of children and adolescents with dyslexia. Nineteen children and adolescents with dyslexia performed different reading and reading-related tasks (word, nonword, and text reading; lexical decision; phonemic blending; verbal working memory; rapid automatized naming) in a baseline condition without tDCS and after 20 min of exposure to three different tDCS conditions: left …
The neurolinguistics of the US/THEM structure in aphasia
2015
The aim of the paper was to show the importance of distinction between US and THEM which is disrupted in the patients with aphasia and leads to social isolation. It should be stressed that the distinction between US and THEM is deeply rooted in couture and language. It has great social and psychological significance since foreigners – speaking imperfect language are as a rule excluded from the society. Hence, aphasic persons tend also to be excluded and they become an object of pity. Neurolinguistic aspects of aphasia are also discussed. It is stressed that the structure of person and number constitute essential conditions (along with time) for the proper use of verbs. After presenting diff…
Restauro e ricomposizione spaziale della Chiesa di San Biagio, Cammarata
2020
Fare architettura presuppone la ricerca di un racconto nuovo nella continuità della storia, praticare la memoria più intima delle cose, ristabilire relazioni con lo spazio del presente. Così il restauro di un edificio elabora il dialogo tra tempo e spazio nella stratificazione della costruzione, svelandone i significati irriducibili e permanenti. Il progetto legge e interpreta, ricerca tracce, si fa spazio tra le cose. Mostra l’azione distruttiva dell’uomo e del tempo, le drammatiche deformazioni. Sfrutta l’interstizio per insinuarvi un discorso nuovo con il presente. Making architecture presupposes the search for a new story in the continuity of history, practicing the most intimate memory…
Memory degradation induced by attention in recurrent neural architectures
2022
This paper studies the memory mechanisms in recurrent neural architectures when attention models are included. Pure-attention models like Transformers are more and more popular as they tend to outperform models with recurrent connections in many different tasks. Our conjecture is that attention prevents the recurrent connections from transferring information properly between consecutive next steps. This conjecture is empirically tested using five different models, namely, a model without attention, a standard Loung attention model, a standard Bahdanau attention model, and our proposal to add attention to the inputs in order to fill the gap between recurrent and parallel architectures (for b…
Attenzione e prestazione
2012
L'attenzione è uno dei processi cognitivi più complessi. È un presupposto di tutte le altre attività psichiche – memoria, percezione, apprendimento, problem solving. L'attenzione si riferisce alla selettività del processo di elaborazione. Il fatto di stare attenti implica infatti, la necessità di selezionare soltanto una porzione degli innumerevoli stimoli che possiamo percepire coi nostri sensi, guardando, toccando, ascoltando, annusando o assaggiando. L’attenzione implica il distogliere il pensiero da alcune cose per dedicarsi selettivamente ad altre. Dunque, c’è una quantità finita di cose a cui possiamo prestare attenzione nello stesso momento. Ciò accade perché il nostro cervello possi…

L'aura de la memòria. La imatge de Jaume I en la València baixmedieval (ca. 1338 - ca. 1538)
2022
La tesis doctoral indaga en el período inicial de gestación del recuerdo de Jaime I en la ciudad de Valencia, entre el primer y el tercer centenario de la fiesta de la conquista, en el marco de la cultura visual; es decir, del conjunto de manifestaciones figurativas y arquitectónicas, así como de actos performativos y objetos comunes que no se adaptan a la idea tradicional del arte. Establece un diálogo con los argumentos que ya han esgrimido historiadores y filólogos para definir cuál era el papel de las imágenes en la historia de la memoria del rey. Publica nueva documentación de archivo, relee las noticias ya exhumadas y, en definitiva, presenta la revisión de un tema –reconsidera la ima…
Rapid learning of a spatial memory task in a lacertid lizard (Podarcis liolepis).
2018
Abstract Mammals and birds are capable of navigating to a goal using learned map-like representations of space (i.e. place learning), but research assessing this navigational strategy in reptiles has produced inconclusive results, in part due to the use of procedures that do not take account of the peculiarities of reptilian behavior and physiology. Here I present a procedure suitable for testing spatial cognition that exploits a naturally evolved, ethologically relevant ability common to many lizards (i.e. refuge seeking behavior). The procedure requires lizards to learn the location of an open refuge inside a rectangular arena containing artificial refuges in every corner, using distal ex…
Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory Network for Multitemporal Cloud Detection Over Landmarks
2019
In this work, we propose to exploit both the temporal and spatial correlations in Earth observation satellite images through deep learning methods. In particular, the combination of a U-Net convolutional neural network together with a convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) layer is proposed. This model is applied for cloud detection on MSG/SEVIRI image time series over selected landmarks. Implementation details are provided and our proposal is compared against a standard SVM and a U-Net without the convolutional LSTM layer but including temporal information too. Experimental results show that this combination of networks exploits both the spatial and temporal dependence and provides st…
