Electrophysiological evidence supports the role of sustained visuospatial attention in maintaining visual WM contents

2019

Recent empirical and theoretical work suggests that there is a close relationship between visual working memory (WM) and visuospatial attention. Here, we investigated whether visuospatial attention was involved in maintaining object representations in visual WM. To this end, the alpha lateralization and contralateral delay activity (CDA) were analyzed as neural markers for visuospatial attention and visual WM storage, respectively. In the single-task condition, participants performed a grating change-detection task. To probe the role of visuospatial attention in maintaining WM contents, two color squares were presented above and below the fixation point during the retention interval, which …

AnatomySketch : An Extensible Open-Source Software Platform for Medical Image Analysis Algorithm Development

2021

AbstractThe development of medical image analysis algorithm is a complex process including the multiple sub-steps of model training, data visualization, human–computer interaction and graphical user interface (GUI) construction. To accelerate the development process, algorithm developers need a software tool to assist with all the sub-steps so that they can focus on the core function implementation. Especially, for the development of deep learning (DL) algorithms, a software tool supporting training data annotation and GUI construction is highly desired. In this work, we constructed AnatomySketch, an extensible open-source software platform with a friendly GUI and a flexible plugin interfac…

Scleral Buckling: A Review of Clinical Aspects and Current Concepts

2021

Scleral buckling represents a valuable treatment option for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. The surgery is based on two main principles: the closure of retinal breaks and the creation of a long-lasting chorioretinal adhesion. Buckles are placed onto the sclera with the purpose of sealing retinal breaks. Cryopexy is usually performed to ensure a long-lasting chorioretinal adhesion. Clinical outcomes of scleral buckling have been shown to be more favorable in phakic eyes with uncomplicated or medium complexity retinal detachment, yielding better anatomical and functional results compared with vitrectomy. Several complications have been described following scleral buckling surgery, s…

Anatomical and electrophysiological study of the vomeronasal circuits: Amygdaloid response to odours and pheromones

2017

Rodents detect information concerning the world around them mainly through two chemosensory systems: the olfactory and the vomeronasal systems. In order to develop an appropriate behavioural response to their environment, these systems exhibit both functional and physiological convergence. Further understanding of the organization and function of the olfactory systems would allow us to comprehend how their information is integrated in the brain. In a first approach we performed a thorough analysis of the connections of key structures involved in the processing of vomeronasal information: the medial (Me) and the posteromedial cortical (PMCo) amygdaloid nucleus. Then, we enquire the populatio…

Developing response-ability in human-wasp encounters

2023

Learning to live with unloved others is crucial in the ecological crisis. Unloved wasps are feared and disliked for their sting. Understanding of their ecological importance is increasing, however. Human-wasp encounters are changing with environmental changes, and strategies for multispecies cohabitation are needed. This multispecies study highlights features of wasp biology affecting human-wasp encounters and analyzes how conflicted human-wasp relations could be mitigated. The geographical focus is Finland, in the Northern boreal region. Biological analysis specified spatiotemporal aspects affecting human-wasp encounters: human and wasp habitats and preferences overlap ubiquitously. From a…

What makes John move? Outdoor play physical environmental factors changing a child’s activity from sedentary to physically active: longitudinal mixed…

2021

Children’s low physical activity levels call for an investigation of what can promote activity for excessively sedentary children. The purpose of this longitudinal mixed-method case study in an early childhood education (ECE) environment was to observe one sedentary child’s free outdoor playtime in four seasons and determine the physical environmental factors changing his activity from sedentary to physically active. Systematic observation of video material and quantitative analysis were used to identify the most sedentary individual of the one ECE group. The child was named “John”. Qualitative analysis of John’s video material showed that during the four seasons he spent an average of 25% …

CP-vammaisten oppilaiden ja henkilökunnan vuorovaikutus konduktiivisen opetuksen ryhmässä

2017

Tiainen, A. 2016. CP-vammaisten oppilaiden ja henkilökunnan vuorovaikutus konduktiivisen opetuksen ryhmässä. Liikuntatieteellinen tiedekunta, Jyväskylän yliopisto, fysioterapian pro gradu -tutkielma, 37s., 8 liitettä. Pro gradu –työ on osa syksyllä 2013 käynnistettyä Jyväskylän yliopiston Toimintakykyä edistävän ohjauksen (TEO) projektia. Pro gradu –työn tavoitteena oli selvittää, millaista on vuorovaikutus erityiskoulun konduktiivisen opetuksen (CE) pienryhmässä. Balesin (1951) mukaan pienryhmä koostuu toisiinsa vuorovaikutuksessa olevista ihmisistä, jotka ovat tietoisia toisistaan ja tuntevat olevansa ryhmä. Tärkeä piirre pienryhmälle on, että sen jäsenet ovat keskenään vuorovaikutuksessa…

Gestural Agency in Human-Machine Musical Interaction

2017

Musical technologies are evolving in such a way that they start to resemble the people that use them. In this vision it seems pertinent to abandon the conception of musicians as users of musical instruments in favor of machines and humans interacting to make music. Both the machine and the human can be modeled as embodied cognitive agents that comprise a network of musical gestures. These gestures are multi-modal signals that allow the agents to exert influence upon each other towards making music. This standpoint integrates traditional and novel music-making technologies, towards a better understanding of musical interaction. peerReviewed

Who Controls Who? Embodied Control Within Human–Technology Choreographies

2017

In this article we explore issues of embodied control that relate to current and future technologies in which body movements function as an instrument of control. Instead of just seeing ourselves in control, it is time to consider how these technologies actually control our moving bodies and transform our lived spaces. By shifting the focus from devices to choreographies among devices, we perform a theoretical analysis of the multidimensional aspects that reside within embodied interaction with technology. We suggest that it is beneficial to acknowledge and reformulate the phenomena of embodied control that go beyond the instrumental user-to-device control scheme. Drawing upon the phenomeno…
