De la perception sensorielle à la consommation du vin. Partie 1/2 : Mécanisme de la perception sensorielle : reflet de la réalité
2010
National audience; Afin de percevoir son environnement et de pouvoir réagir en conséquence, l’être humain est équipé de capteurs sensoriels. Ces capteurs constituent une interface entre le sujet et le monde extérieur et quelle que soit la stimulation extérieure, ils mettent en jeu les mêmes mécanismes sensoriels. Lorsque les capteurs sensoriels rentrent en contact avec un stimulus, les informations engendrées sont amplifiées, puis transmises au système nerveux central sous forme de signaux électriques (Mac Leod et Sauvageot, 1986) après avoir été progressivement filtrées, réduites et stabilisées. Ces informations électriques sont caractérisées d’une part par une masse globale d’activité, co…
Die Auswirkung sprachbiographischer und sprachideologischer Faktoren auf den Sprachgebrauch bilingualer Sprecher:innen
2023
Współcześnie w badaniach nad wielojęzycznością panuje zgoda co do tego, że mówcy bilingwalni nie są podwójnie jednojęzyczni, ale języki, którymi się posługują, wzajemnie na siebie wpływają. Zakres i forma tego oddziaływania są uwarunkowane różnymi czynnikami, m.in. biografiami i ideologiami językowymi. Artykuł odwołuje się do wyników badań prowadzonych w ramach polsko-niemieckiego projektu Pokoleniowe zróżnicowanie języka: zmiany morfosyntaktyczne wywołane przez polsko-niemiecki kontakt językowy w mowie osób dwujęzycznych, w którym przebadano dwie różniące się od siebie generacje – osoby z wczesną dwujęzycznością w Polsce (Generacja Polska/GP) oraz osoby z późną dwujęzycznością w Niemczech …
Neural contribution to postactivation potentiation
2015
The current study was designed to investigate the contribution of neural factors to postactivation potentiation (PAP). Neuromuscular function (i.e. twitches, H-reflexes, motor evoked potentials, and voluntary isometric ballistic contractions) of 8 power-trained (POW) and 8 endurance-trained (END) athletes was recorded before and after a 8-second maximal isometric conditioning contraction (CC) to induce PAP, to elucidate discriminating neural factors in exploiting PAP that might arise from the former training background compared to the latter. After CC, twitch peak force and rate of force development were significantly increased, with higher potentiation in POW (29 ± 11% and 64 ± 24%) than E…

Responses of Male and Female Black Grouse to Male Vocal Display
2010
The evolution of leks may be explained by several hypotheses. The ‘female preference’ hypothesis, which states that females favour males that have aggregated, has recently gained some empirical support. Low-quality, unattractive males may, however, settle near attractive males, as predicted by the ‘hotshot’ hypothesis. We tested whether black grouse Tetrao tetrix females use auditory cues to find the preferred leks, and whether males respond to vocal display emitted on leks. We conducted a playback experiment with male vocal display (rookooing) on leks, where the visiting females and displaying males were counted. The number of males tended to increase more on playback leks. Specifically, t…
Gestures and glances - the effects of familiarity and expertise on singers’ and pianists’ bodily movements in ensemble rehearsals
2009
The types, functions, sources and effects of musicians’ bodily movements have been studied in soloists’ live and recorded performances, to a lesser extent in their practice sessions and rehearsals, and in ensemble musicians’ rehearsals. The present study explored the effects of familiarity and expertise on singers’ and pianists’ bodily movements and eye contact in ensemble rehearsals. Two established singer-pianist duos rehearsed three songs in different combinations. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were undertaken. Bodily movement and eye contact were used to consolidate technical details, convey musical information and coordinate entries. Singers used gestures to reflect and support…
Factors related to excessive patellofemoral loading in rearfoot running
2015
Running is recognized as one of the most popular exercise methods. Furthermore, running related injuries have been under the scope for the last few decades. Synchronous function between the segments of the lower limbs is necessary for efficient locomotion. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common exercise related syndrome and multifactorial in nature. The purpose of this study was to measure contact forces and frontal plane moments to detect the factors that are associated with atypically high patellofemoral joint loading in rearfoot striking (RFS) running pattern, and moreover, which could possibly contribute to development of the patellofemoral pain syndrome. 39 team sport female athletes…
Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). General and stomatological aspects
2008
Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) is a special contact allergy conditioned by specific amino acids in food allergens, usually fruits, as well as some proteins from different pollens. It is usually manifested in the mouth, however relatively little is known about the syndrome in Odontology. OAS is a fairly common adverse reaction that occurs after ingesting certain foods, such as peaches or apples, produced in atopic individuals who usually suffer from rhinitis, bronchial asthma or both. This syndrome mainly affects the oral cavity and oropharynx, provoking minor local alterations, although there may be serious systematic reactions, making it important to distinguish it from other oral processes w…
Use of hierarchical Bayesian framework in MTS studies to model different causes and novel possible forms of acquired MTS
2015
Abstract: An integrative account of MTS could be cast in terms of hierarchical Bayesian inference. It may help to highlight a central role of sensory (tactile) precision could play in MTS. We suggest that anosognosic patients, with anesthetic hemisoma, can also be interpreted as a form of acquired MTS, providing additional data for the model.
Using Attribute Grammars for Description of Inductive Inference Search Space
1998
The problem of practically feasible inductive inference of functions or other objects that can be described by means of an attribute grammar is studied in this paper. In our approach based on attribute grammars various kinds of knowledge about the object to be found can be encoded, ranging from usual input/output examples to assumptions about unknown object's syntactic structure to some dynamic object's properties. We present theoretical results as well as describe the architecture of a practical inductive synthesis system based on theoretical findings.
