PURPOSE To analyze speech expressiveness in a group of executives based on perceptive and acoustic aspects of vocal dynamics. METHODS Four male subjects participated in the research study (S1, S2, S3, and S4). The assessments included the Kingdomality test to obtain the keywords of communicative attitudes; perceptive-auditory assessment to characterize vocal quality and dynamics, performed by...

PURPOSE Learning style preferences vary within the nursing field and there is no consensus on a predominant learning style preference in nursing students. The current study compared the learning style preferences of nursing students at two universities in Iran and Malaysia. METHODS A purposive sampling method was used to collect data from the two study populations. Data were collected using t...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the auditory-perceptive evaluation and the psychodynamic aspects of voice samples among suicidal movie characters. METHOD Voice samples of 48 characters (27 male, 21 female), extracted from 36 movies produced between 1968 and 2006, were analyzed. The samples were evaluated through a specific protocol focusing on the auditory-perceptive evaluatio...

In this paper we present some analysis techniques and indexing strategies aimed to support classification and retrieval of textures using only perceptual features. The goal of this research is to provide a visual system that starting from graphical cues representing relevant perceptual features of texture, interactively searches the most similar texture in the set of candidates in the correspon...

This paper explains methods to provide autonomous virtual humans with the skills necessary to perform stand-alone role in films, games and interactive television. We present current research developments in the Virtual Life of autonomous synthetic actors. After a brief description of our geometric, physical, and auditory Virtual Environments, we introduce the perception action principles with a...

Finding and classifying specific objects is a key part in most of the tasks autonomous systems could face. Properly being able to reach objects and find their exact location is very important for successfully achieving higher level robotic behaviors. To perform full object detection and recognition tasks in a wide environment several perception approaches need to be brought together to achieve ...

Virtual environments have great potential in applications such as entertainment, animation by example, design interface, information browsing, and even expressive performance. In this paper we describe an approach to unencumbered, natural interfaces called Perceptive Spaces with a particular focus on efforts to include true multi-modal interface: interfaces that attend to both the speech and ge...

l’intérêt de ce bref article consiste à expliciter, dans la mesure du possible, la production et la saisie du sens caché à travers l’étude de la relation des valeurs dans la dimension tensive et sous l’angle sémiotique sensible. nous allons montrer que la perspective de la sémiotique sensible et perceptive fondée sur la phénoménologie peut répondre à toutes les exigences de la compréhension du ...

This paper discusses a novel way to conceive measurement systems as perceptive agencies, namely as systems in which different sensory agents cooperate to set up rich and multiparadigmatic measurement tools.
