This paper discusses Integrated System for Facial Expression Recognition (ISFER), which performs facial expression analysis from a still dual facial view image. The system consists of three major parts: facial data generator, facial data evaluator and facial data analyser. While the facial data generator applies fairly conventional techniques for facial features extraction, the rest of the syst...

The ability to recognize and discriminate conspecific faces and facial expressions has played a critical role in the evolution of social communication. Darwin was one of the first to speculate that human and nonhuman primate facial expressions share similar mechanisms for production and functions in expressing emotion. Since his seminal publication, numerous studies have attempted to unravel th...

Facial expressions are a kind of nonverbal communication. They carry the state of emotion of a person. Facial expression plays an important role in face-to face human-computer communication. Automatic facial expression synthesis became popular research area nowadays. It can be used in many areas such that physiology, education, murder squad, analysis of tendency to crime to get a clue about men...

Epilepsy is considered a disorder in which a person has certain episodes of disturbed brain activity. There are different studies that allow monitoring physiological signals associated with a possible epileptic episode. However, these require wired connections and therefore monitoring is restricted to factors such as limited physical movements and loss of information by disconnecting sensors. H...

The induction of "bystander effects" i.e. effects in cells which have not received an ionizing radiation track, is now accepted but the mechanisms are not completely clear. Bystander effects following high and low LET radiation exposure are accepted but mechanisms are still not understood. There is some evidence for a physical component to the signal. This paper tests the hypothesis that bioele...

This paper addresses the challenge of extracting meaningful information from measured bioelectric signals generated by complex, large scale physiological systems such as the brain or the heart. We focus on a combination of the well-known Laplacian eigenmaps machine learning approach with dynamical systems ideas to analyze emergent dynamic behaviors. The method reconstructs the abstract dynamica...

Interest in the study of Halicystis and of Valonia has been stimulated by discoveries of marked contrasts and striking similarities existing side by side. This is illustrated by new experiments with the alkali metals and alkaline earths. In Halicystis the apparent mobilities of K(+), Rb(+), Cs(+), and Li(+) (calculated by means of Henderson's equation from changes in P.D. produced by replacing ...

In their influence on the P.D. across the protoplasm of Valonia macrophysa, Kütz., Li(+) and Cs(+) resemble Na(+), while Rb(+) and NH(4) (+) resemble K(+). The apparent mobilities of the ions in the external surface layer of Valonia protoplasm increase in the order: Cs(+), Na(+), Li(+) < Cl(-) < Rb(+) < K(+) < NH(4) (+).

A pendant was claimed to provide numerous health benefits, including reduced stress, increased strength, and protection from electromagnetic radiation from computers and mobile phones. Three experiments tested the effectiveness of this pendant's effect as a bioelectric shield. In the first experiment, 12 subjects who work with computers wore shields (6 real, 6 sham) for several weeks and were r...
