Hand Matters: Left-Hand Gestures Enhance Metaphor Explanation
Research suggests that speech-accompanying gestures influence cognitive processes, but it is not clear whether the gestural benefit is specific to the gesturing hand. Two experiments tested the "(right/left) hand-specificity" hypothesis for self-oriented functions of gestures: gestures with a particular hand enhance cognitive processes involving the hemisphere contralateral to the gesturing han...
متن کاملThe Effect of Left-Hand Gestures on Metaphor Explanation
Research suggests that gestures influence cognitive processes, but the exact mechanism is not clear. Additionally, it has been shown that when a linguistic task (metaphor explanation) involves the right brain hemisphere, the left hand becomes more gesturally active. We hypothesized that gestures with a particular hand activate cognitive processes in the contralateral hemisphere. We examined whe...
متن کاملHand Gestures Classification with Multi-Core DTW
Classifications of several gesture types are very helpful in several applications. This paper tries to address fast classifications of hand gestures using DTW over multi-core simple processors. We presented a methodology to distribute templates over multi-cores and then allow parallel execution of the classification. The results were presented to voting algorithm in which the majority vote was ...
متن کاملRecognizing Hand Gestures
This paper presents a method for recognizing human-hand gestures using a model-based approach. A Finite State Machine is used to model four qualitatively distinct phases of a generic gesture. Fingertips are tracked in multiple frames to compute motion trajectories, which are then used for nding the start and stop position of the gesture. Gestures are represented as a list of vectors and are the...
