Space-by-Time Modular Decomposition Effectively Describes Whole-Body Muscle Activity During Upright Reaching in Various Directions
2017
The modular control hypothesis suggests that motor commands are built from precoded modules whose specific combined recruitment can allow the performance of virtually any motor task. Despite considerable experimental support, this hypothesis remains tentative as classical findings of reduced dimensionality in muscle activity may also result from other constraints (biomechanical couplings, data averaging or low dimensionality of motor tasks). Here we assessed the effectiveness of modularity in describing muscle activity in a comprehensive experiment comprising 72 distinct point-to-point whole-body movements during which the activity of 30 muscles was recorded. To identify invariant modules o…
Uzdevumos balstīta prezentācijas prasmju pilnveide augstskolā
2017
Mūsdienās prezentēšanas prasmes ir kļuvušas par aktuālu tematu. Prasme prezentēt auditorijas priekšā augstskolās ietekmē ne tikai personīgo izaugsmi, bet arī karjeru nākotnē. Lai sniegtu pārliecinošu prezentāciju, prezentētājam būtu jāzin pārliecināšanas paņēmieni. Maģistra darba mērķis bija izpētīt prezentācijas prasmju pilnveidi augstkolās, koncentrējoties uz uzdevumiem, kas aptver konkrētus pārliecināšanas paņēmienus. Pētījuma rezultāti parāda, ka studenti apzinās konkrētu pārliecināšanas paņēmienu nozīmi, bet ir piesardzīgi to lietojumā sniedzot prezentāciju, kas var tikt pamatots ar zemu angļu valodas prasmi.
New forms of urban and social sustainability: ICTs in the design of smart cities
2014
A new design of the city, that one of the smart city, is evolving implying the frequent involvement of the technological and social field, in order to make urban spaces more sustainable. The development of new information and communication technologies (ICTs), follows the growth and evolution of the city through the monitoring of the multiplicity of sectors that build urban form: economy, education, policy, environment and society. The objective of the research is to identify urban practices that have led to better results in the fields of mobility, environment and social cooperation, highlighting the different methodologies of ICTs’ application.
Antennal lobe representations are optimized when olfactory stimuli are periodically structured to simulate natural wing beat effects
2014
Animals use behaviors to actively sample the environment across a broad spectrum of sensory domains. These behaviors discretize the sensory experience into unique spatiotemporal moments, minimize sensory adaptation, and enhance perception. In olfaction, behaviors such as sniffing, antennal flicking, and wing beating all act to periodically expose olfactory epithelium. In mammals, it is thought that sniffing enhances neural representations; however, the effects of insect wing beating on representations remain unknown. To determine how well the antennal lobe produces odor-dependent representations when wing beating effects are simulated, we used extracellular methods to record neural units an…
A idealização dose espaços rurais no ensino médio. Um estudo de representações sociais
2021
Resumen La teoría de las representaciones sociales contribuye a conocer los discursos que influyen en la vida de las personas y cómo los sujetos reproducen esos conocimientos para interpretar el mundo. El conocimiento que nos interesa en esta investigación es la cosmovisión que los estudiantes de 3.° de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) y de 2.° de bachillerato de la provincia de Valencia (España) tienen acerca de los espacios rurales. Dicha cosmovisión proviene de diferentes fuentes y contextos de información, por lo que la aplicación de las representaciones sociales al campo de la didáctica de la geografía es pertinente en este estudio. En concreto, el enfoque fenomenológico de la Ge…
L'apport de la communication engageante et des représentations sociales dans le cadre de la promotion de l'éco-mobilité
2011
The purpose of this thesis was to test the applicability of binding communication in the case of car use reduction. The first two studies (1 & 2) bring out the relationship between an individual and his mobility. Our results lead us to consider a system of double bind between the challenges of sustainable development and daily obligations. The individual recognizes the negative impact of car use on the environment but justifies his behavior by an important need for flexibility. Three studies have tested the effectiveness of procedures such as commitment (Study 3) and binding communication (studies 4 and 5). A procedure of binding communication has been particularly effective. It combined a …
La représentation du rugby masculin et féminin : une analyse de discours chez les spectateurs
2014
Le but de l'étude présentée est d'analyser les représentations d'unsport typé masculin, le rugby, dans le discours de spectateurs à l'issuede matchs. Le champ théorique renvoie à l'école européenne desreprésentations sociales (Moscovici, 1961) et ses développements entermes de structure stabilisée (Abric, 1994). Il renvoie également auxprésupposés de l'analyse de discours selon Ghiglione (1985). Le corpusest constitué de 120 discours écrits dans les salles réservées auxsupporters ou dans les bars restaurants où ils se retrouvent après lesrencontres, la consigne étant soit de caractériser le rugby masculin soitde caractériser le rugby féminin. La méthode utilisé…
Normativité des choix sociométriques et différences sociodynamiques dans la représentation sociale des relations entre nations européennes
2007
Exploring sociometric between 39 different nationalities within Europe, we identified a social representation of relationship between these nations.
miMic
2016
miMic, a sonic analogue of paper and pencil is proposed: An augmented microphone for vocal and gestural sonic sketching. Vocalizations are classified and interpreted as instances of sound models, which the user can play with by vocal and gestural control. The physical device is based on a modified microphone, with embedded inertial sensors and buttons. Sound models can be selected by vocal imitations that are automatically classified, and each model is mapped to vocal and gestural features for real-time control. With miMic, the sound designer can explore a vast sonic space and quickly produce expressive sonic sketches, which may be turned into sound prototypes by further adjustment of model…
Do humans dream of prophetic robots?
2020
Social robotics is a technology that, as its definition varies, encompasses conceptually diverse fields materializing in innovations from simple chatbots to sophisticated androids talking about the peaceful coexistence of humans and robots. The advances in social robotics have led to promising applications in education, work, entertainment, and even religion. Yet a measure of fear and confusion about the capabilities of contemporary and future robots exists, with one of the reasons being the presentation of some contemporary robots as being more advanced than they really are.
