Video-EEG is an indispensable and widely used technique for studying paroxysmal phenomena. We present a method of processing video recordings to compare the sequence of ictal manifestations of different episodes. Five presentations of two seizures recorded in each of five patients are shown, in which apparently different ictal features are strongly superimposed and stereotyped. Split-screen syn...

The AVOZES data corpus has recently been made publicly available for other interested researchers. It is the first publicly available audio-video speech data corpus for Australian English. It contains recordings from 20 speakers and the sequences provide both a systematic coverage of the phonemes and visemes of Australian English as well as some application-driven utterances. AVOZES is also the...

OBJECTIVE We developed a reliable and valid fidelity measure for use in research on Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) intervention. METHOD We designed a fidelity instrument to measure structural and process aspects of ASI intervention. Because scoring of process involves subjectivity, we conducted a series of reliability and validity studies on the process section. Raters were trained to score ...

A commander and his staff have to use whatever information is available to arrive at an understanding of the situation that can serve as a basis for action, hence sensemaking has a central role in the C2 process. This paper reports the results of a first experimental study of the sensemaking process in a command team. The participants were 99 Army captains studying at the Swedish National Defen...

In this paper, we discuss collusion-secure traceability codes for digital fingerprinting which is a technique for copyright protection of digital contents. We first state a generalization of conventional collusion attacks where illicit users of a digital content collude to create an illegal digital content. Then we propose a collusion-secure traceability code which can detect at least one collu...

PURPOSE This study explored contributions that patients' companions (seizure witnesses) make to interactions in the seizure clinic and whether the nature of the companions' interactional contributions can help with the differentiation of epilepsy and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). METHODS Conversation analysis methods were used to examine video recordings and transcripts of neurolo...

Therapeutic work with the client's present moment experience in existential therapy was studied by means of conversation analysis. Using publicly available video recordings of therapy sessions as data, an existential therapist's practice of guiding a client into immediacy, or refocusing the talk on a client's immediate experience, was described and compared with a therapist's corresponding acti...

Assessment of clinical competencies by direct observation is problematic for two main reasons the identity of the examinee influences the assessment scores, and direct observation demands experts at the exact location and the exact time. Recording the performance can overcome these problems; however, managing video recordings and assessment sheets is troublesome and may lead to missing or incor...

This work analyzed the perceptual attributes of natural dynamic audiovisual scenes. We presented thirty participants with 19 natural scenes in a similarity categorization task, followed by a semi-structured interview. The scenes were reproduced with an immersive audiovisual display. Natural scene perception has been studied mainly with unimodal settings, which have identified motion as one of t...

New Caledonian crows (Corvus moneduloides) are renowned for using tools for extractive foraging, but the ecological context of this unusual behavior is largely unknown. We developed miniaturized, animal-borne video cameras to record the undisturbed behavior and foraging ecology of wild, free-ranging crows. Our video recordings enabled an estimate of the species' natural foraging efficiency and ...
