Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with variable symptomatology, traditionally divided into positive and negative symptoms, and cognitive deficits. However, the etiology of this disorder has yet to be fully understood. Recent findings suggest that alteration of the basic sense of self-awareness may be an essential distortion of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. In addition, ex...

BACKGROUND The classification of anxiety and depressive disorders has long been debated and has important clinical implications. The present study combined a genetically sensitive design and multiple time points to investigate cognitive content specificity in anxiety and depressive disorder symptoms across anxiety sensitivity dimensions, a cognitive distortion implicated in both disorders. ME...

Radial distortion has widely existed in the images captured by popular wide-angle cameras and fisheye cameras. Despite long history of rectification, accurately estimating parameters from a single distorted image is still challenging. The main reason that these are implicit to features, influencing networks learn information fully. In this work, we propose novel rectification approach can obtai...

Intact neurocognition has been posited as a necessary, but not sufficient prerequisite for efficient social cognition and metacognition in schizophrenia. Disorganized symptoms likely play a prominent role in these cognitive processes, given the detrimental effects of disorganization on one's ability to synthesize discrete information into an organized whole. However, the relationship between di...

Underlying assumptions constitute the general notion of what is referred to as "schema." Schemas have traditionally served as sort of a template for the way in which an individual views him/herself, the ...

The objective of this study was to improve user experience when appreciating visual artworks with soundscape music chosen by a deep neural network based on weakly supervised learning. We also propose multi-faceted approach measuring ambiguous concepts, such as the subjective fitness, implicit senses, immersion, and availability. showed improvements in appreciation experience, metaphorical psych...

The purpose of this study is to understand the unique contributions trait empathy and cognitive distortion relational aggression in 393 20- 49- year old adults (183 females 208 males, M = 35.22 years, SD 8.35 years). This examined how empathic concern perspective taking affect through three types distortions: self-centered bias, blaming others, perceived persecution. As predicted by theoretical...

In this paper capacity withholding in an oligopolistic electricity market that all Generation Companies (GenCos) bid in a Cournot model is analyzed and the capacity withheld index, the capacity distortion index and the price distortion index are obtained and formulated. Then a new index, Distortion-Withheld Index (DWI), is proposed in order to measure the potential ability of market for capacit...
