Superior memorizers often employ the method of loci (MoL) to memorize large amounts of information. The MoL, known since ancient times, relies on a complex process where information to be memorized is bound to landmarks along mental routes in a previously memorized environment. However, functional magnetic resonance imaging data on groups of trained superior memorizer are rare. Based on the mem...

Adult participants who had all learned English (as a first or second language) but did not speak French were shown faces of bilingual (French/Engli...

Abstract One of the most challenging techniques for speech analysis applications in mobile phones is acoustic feature extraction. The adverse environment noises, diversity microphone specifications, and various recording software have a significant effect on values extracted features. In this study, we investigate robustness different types features related to time-based, frequency-based, susta...
