In contrast to the explosion of consumer wearable health device market, which includes millions of units sold worldwide, the efforts undertaken to validate the accuracy and reliability of these monitoring apps and devices have been minimal [1]. To reach this understanding there are several barriers. In the domain of sleep tracking, sleep researchers have yet to define standard metrics for valid...

Opacity is a generic security property, that has been defined on (non probabilistic) transition systems and later on Markov chains with labels. For a secret predicate, given as a subset of runs, and a function describing the view of an external observer, the value of interest for opacity is a measure of the set of runs disclosing the secret. We extend this definition to the richer framework of ...

Group loyalty is highly valued. However, little is known about young children's loyal behavior. This study tested whether 4- and 5-year-olds (N=96) remain loyal to their group even when betraying it would be materially advantageous. Children and four puppets were allocated to novel groups. Two of these puppets (either in-group or out-group members) then told children a group secret and urged th...

Controlled Query Evaluation (CQE) is a logical framework for the protection of secrets in databases. In this article, we extend the CQE framework to possibilistic logic: knowledge base, a priori knowledge and privacy policy are expressed with necessity-valued formulas that represent several degrees of certainty. We present a formal security de nition and analyze an appropriate controlled evalua...

In the guessing secrets problem defined by Chung, Graham and Leighton [9], player B has to unveil a set of k > 1 secrets that player A has chosen from a pool of N secrets. To discover the secrets, player B is allowed to ask a series of boolean questions. For each question asked, A can adversarially choose one of the secrets but once he has made his choice he must answer truthfully. In this pape...

Real-time sentence processing involves connecting linguistic input with knowledge. Here, we ask how variability in semantic memory (specific domain knowledge) may influence semantic access in realtime sentence processing. We recorded EEG while participants more/less knowledgeable about the narrative world of Harry Potter (HP) read sentences. In Experiment 1, all participants showed N400 predict...
