Combining “real effort” with induced effort costs: the ball-catching task
We introduce the "ball-catching task", a novel computerized task, which combines a tangible action ("catching balls") with induced material cost of effort. The central feature of the ball-catching task is that it allows researchers to manipulate the cost of effort function as well as the production function, which permits quantitative predictions on effort provision. In an experiment with piece...
متن کاملA Power-Aware, Best-Effort Real-Time Task Scheduling Algorithm
In this paper, we present a power-aware, besteffort real-time task scheduling algorithm called PA-BTA that optimizes real-time performance and power consumption. The algorithm considers a timeliness model where task timing constraints are described using Jensen’s benefit functions and a system-level power model. We propose a metric called “Energy and Real-Time Performance Grade” (ERG) to measur...
متن کاملTeleoperation for a ball-catching task with significant dynamics
In this paper we present ongoing work on how to incorporate human motion models into the design of a high performance teleoperation platform. A short description of human motion models used for ball-catching is followed by a more detailed study of a teleoperation platform on which to conduct experiments. Also, a pilot study using minimum jerk theory to explain user input behavior in teleoperate...
متن کاملAltering Effort Costs in Parkinson's Disease with Noninvasive Cortical Stimulation.
UNLABELLED In Parkinson's disease (PD), the human brain is capable of producing motor commands, but appears to require greater than normal subjective effort, particularly for the more-affected side. What is the nature of this subjective effort and can it be altered? We used an isometric task in which patients produced a goal force by engaging both arms, but were free to assign any fraction of t...
متن کاملTask Effort Fuzzy Estimator for Software Development
Software estimation has been one of the biggest challenges in Computer Science for the last decades. This practice is essential for research and development companies, since it can provide cost and deadline forecasting, for example. Most of the traditional techniques such as function points, regression models, COCOMO, etc, require a long-term estimation process, which is unworkable for greatly ...
