  2. 16. An Operatic Game Changer : The Opera Maker as Game Designer and the Potentials of Ludo-Immersive Opera

    Author : Hedvig Jalhed; John Potter; Mälardalens universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; artistic research; opera; interaction; immersion; performance; perception; game design; participation; spectatorship; aesthetics; Apollonian; Dionysian;

    Abstract : How can live-performed chamber operas be conceptualized as immersive gameswith interactive features? This artistic study has resulted in a system model throughwhich degrees of immersion may be generated and analyzed from physical, social,and psychical stimuli. A differentiation of immersive modes has been made possi-ble by the framing of opera-making as game design. READ MORE

  4. 17. World of faces, words and actions : Observations and neural linkages in early life

    Author : Andrea Handl; Gustaf Gredebäck; Claes von Hofsten; Mikael Heimann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Infant development; Eye-tracking; EEG; third-party interactions; crossmodal integration; gaze processing; speech processing; mu desynchronization; action perception; imitation; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : From the start of their lives, infants and young children are surrounded by a tremendous amount of multimodal social information. One intriguing question in the study of early social cognition is how vital social information is detected and processed and how and when young infants begin to make sense of what they see and hear and learn to understand other people’s behavior.

  5. 18. Action in Mind : A Neural Network Approach to Action Recognition and Segmentation

    Author : Zahra Gharaee; Kognitiv modellering; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Action recognition; motion perception; cognitive robotics; hierarchical models; self-organizing neural networks; growing grids; attention;

    Abstract : Recognizing and categorizing human actions is an important task with applications in various fields such as human-robot interaction, video analysis, surveillance, video retrieval, health care system and entertainment industry.This thesis presents a novel computational approach for human action recognition through different implementations of multi-layer architectures based on artificial neural networks.

  6. 19. How hands shape the mind : The P400 as an index of manual actions and gesture perception

    Author : Marta Bakker; Gustaf Gredebäck; Amy Needham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : goal-directed actions; action processing; EEG; ERP; P400; gestures; grasping; embodiment; social development; give-me gesture; dynamic system theory; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Being able to perform and understand actions is crucial for proper functioning in the social world. From birth, we use our bodies to act and to promote learning about ourselves, our environment and other people’s actions and intentions. Our mind is embodied; thus, our actions play a crucial role in cognitive and social development. READ MORE

  7. 20. The molecular mechanisms behind perception and signal transduction of UV-B irradiation in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Author : Irina Kalbina; Åke Strid; Lars-Gunnar Franzén; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Action spectroscopy; Arabidopsis; gene expression; reverse genetics; signal transduction; UV-B irradiation.; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Elevation of UV-B radiation (280-315 nm), occurring as a result of depletion of the stratospheric ozone, causes a number of physiological and biochemical changes in plants. Damage to the photosynthetic apparatus (including the bleaching of the pigments which trap the sun's energy), to the processes of cell division and growth regulation, and to the composition and replication of genetic material are just some of these changes.
