In this paper we address the issue of producing automatic video abstracts in the video indexing context of animated movies. For a quick browse of the movie’s visual content, we create first a storyboard-like summary, which follows the movie events by providing one key frame for each particular scene. To capture the shot visual activity, we use histograms of cumulative inter-frame distances and ...

In this paper we present a reanalysis of electrophysiological data originally collected to test a sensory-motor theory of beat induction (Todd et al., 2002; Todd and Seiss, 2004; Todd and Lee, 2015). The reanalysis is conducted in the light of more recent findings and in particular the demonstration that auditory evoked potentials contain a vestibular dependency. At the core of the analysis is ...

The subject of the article is rhythm in verse. theory alternation and its suitability forpractical use examined. A based on rhythmic strokes (ictuses) their sequential occurrence time ispreferred. issue interictus, which are important forming poetic rhythm, also touched upon.

Rhythm is a basic property of acoustic signals [1][2], with a presumed common basis for its perception grounded both in speech and music [3], hinting towards a similarity which can be tracked in the acoustic signals as well. For speech signals, rhythm analysis can provide relevant conclusions both with respect to linguistic questions (e.g. language rhythm typology) and for applications in speec...

Interneurones in the respiratory rhythm generator of the locust were identified by means of intracellular recording and staining techniques. A description is made of the properties and structures of nine intersegmental neurones which reset the respiratory rhythm when injected with current pulses. All but one of these neurones discharged in phase with expiration. The injection of constant depola...
