  1. 1. Simulation supported training in oral radiology : methods and impact on interpretative skill

    Author : Tore Nilsson; Jan Ahlqvist; Martin Rydmark; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Virtual reality; simulation; simulator; radiology; radiography; learning; skill acquisition; visual-spatial ability; parallax; Radiology; Radiologi; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Simulation is an important tool when training is hazardous, time consuming, or expensive. Simulation can also be used to enhance reality by adding features normally not available in the real world. READ MORE

  2. 2. Temporal dynamics of brain plasticity : characterizing brain structural changes during skill acquisition

    Author : Tomás Mediavilla; Daniel Marcellino; Alexandra Badea; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Motor learning; brain plasticity; structural plasticity; magnetic resonance imaging; voxel-based morphometry; tractography; connectivity; motor cortex; posterior parietal cortex; cerebellum; vesicular glutamate transporter;

    Abstract : Traditionally, structural plasticity in the human brain has been considered to follow a linear or asymptotic increase over the course of training. However, recent studies using structural MRI revealed transient increases in grey matter volume (GMV) with learning. READ MORE

  3. 3. Information Acquisition in Data Fusion Systems

    Author : Ronnie Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : information acquisition; information fusion; data fusion; sensor management; perception management; game theory; target tracking; mobile sensors;

    Abstract : By purposefully utilising sensors, for instance by a datafusion system, the state of some system-relevant environmentmight be adequately assessed to support decision-making. Theever increasing access to sensors o.ers great opportunities,but alsoincurs grave challenges. As a result of managingmultiple sensors one can, e. READ MORE

  4. 4. Robot Skill Acquisition through Prior-Conditioned Reinforcement Learning

    Author : Quantao Yang; Todor Stoyanov; Johannes A. Stork; Gerhard Neumann; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Reinforcement Learning; Robot Manipulation; Transfer Learning; Safety Constraints; Prior Knowledge Learning;

    Abstract : Advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence have paved the way for autonomous agents to perform complex tasks in various domains. A critical challenge in the field of robotics is enabling robots to acquire and refine skills efficiently, allowing them to adapt and excel in diverse environments. READ MORE

  5. 5. Becoming and being an opera singer : Health, personality and skills

    Author : Maria Sandgren; Henry Montgomery; Britt af Klinteberg; Anders K. Ericsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Artistic development; opera singers; health; vocal ability; personality; skill acquisition; higher education.; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : The present thesis explores factors and processes associated with the artistic profession and development of opera singers. The profession of opera singers has a long story deriving its origin in early 1600s in Italy. What is performed on opera stages today is written in the musical scores in the 18th and 19th century.
