In this article I intend to describe an issue of the Dutch euthanasia practice that is not common knowledge. After some general introductory descriptions, by way of formulating a frame of reference, I shall describe the effects of this practice on patients, physicians and families, followed by a more philosophical reflection on the significance of these effects for the assessment of the authent...

An automatic speaker recognition (ASR) system must produce reliable likelihood ratios (LR) in order to be used for evaluating and presenting speech evidence to court. The LR is only reliable if it produced from a well-calibrated ASR.

Pure vergence stimuli fall strictly along the midline or “cyclopean” axis and while rare in natural viewing, are easy to create in the laboratory. They are particularly useful for studying the neural control of disparity vergence eye movements. Responses to such stimuli should not contain version components, but two factors can lead to transient version components during a symmetrical vergence ...
