Intrusive systems have the ability to achieve desired results of distressing using various methods like heart beat measurement, temperature sensing, humidity sensing, blood pressure measurements etc. but these systems have a major drawback of being intrusive. However, an efficient non-intrusive system which could replace the above mentioned systems can be developed with the help of image proces...

Suppressing unwanted memories can impair their later recall. Recent work shows that this forgetting is achieved by at least two mechanisms supported by distinct neural systems: thought substitution and direct suppression (Benoit & Anderson, 2012). Here, we examined whether direct suppression, thought to be achieved by down-regulation of hippocampal activity, can disrupt memory of aversive scene...

This paper investigates the occurrences of postvocalic-r, intrusive-r and linking-r in Singapore English (SgE) from a sociophonetic perspective. This paper seeks to determine the correlation between the use of the different /ɹ/ and the users’ education levels. This paper will also investigate the attitudes of SgE speakers to the use of postvocalic-r and intrusive-r in SgE. The results show a di...

tertiary intrusive granitoids within the lut block in the khorasan razavi and south khorasan provinces are mainly sub-volcanic with porphyry texture and their composition varies from granite to diorite but monzonite is dominant. with the exception of hired, these are classified as belonging to the magnetite-series of i-type granitoids. chemically, these rocks are meta-aluminous. those with mine...

The study of intrusive mental imagery in anxiety is a growing area of interest. Whilst there is an appreciation of the variation in thematic content (Hirsch & Holmes, 2007), less is understood about the wider phenomenology and function of intrusive imagery across the anxiety disorders. The aim of the review is to adopt a transdiagnostic perspective, and compare and contrast the literature on in...

Intrusive mental experiences occur within posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and some psychotic disorders. Similarities in the phenomenology and content in the intrusions of both disorders have been noted. Currently there is little understanding of any common etiology in terms of information-processing styles. This study investigated predictors of analogue posttraumatic intrusive cognitions w...

Activity recognition in smart environments and healthcare systems is gaining increasing interest. Several approaches are proposed to recognize activities namely intrusive and non-intrusive approaches. This paper presents a new fully non-intrusive approach for recognition of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in smart environments. Our approach treats the activity recognition process as an inform...

Age differences in the associations among intensity of regret, control attributions, and intrusive thoughts were investigated (N = 122, age range = 20-87 years). Given that the opportunities to overcome regrettable behavior decline with age, older adults' attributions of low internal control were expected to serve self-protective functions and facilitate deactivation of regret. In younger adult...

The electrode is the crucial component of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), and key for development BCI technology. Compared with non-intrusive electrodes intrusive electrodes, semi-invasive...

Although a considerable number of people either witnessed directly or in the mass media the traumatic scenes of the terrorist attack that took place on March 11th, 2004 in Madrid, only a fraction of Madrid citizens developed posttraumatic symptoms. In this study, posttraumatic stress-related symptoms, degree of exposure, coping strategies related to the attack, and chronic attempts to avoid int...
