We used the virtual hand illusion paradigm to study the relationship between two aspects of the minimal self: the sense of agency and the sense of (body) ownership. Converging evidence for the at least partial independence of agency and ownership was found. For instance, sense of agency was a better predictor of individual anxiety levels than sense of ownership and males showed stronger effects...

Researchers have tackled the problem of authorship attribution in several different ways, using various metrics to identify the author of an anonymous document given a set of writing samples from potential candidates. Common complaints about modern methodologies tend to accuse studies of content bias, which occurs when quantitative models identify similar content rather than similar styles. Thi...

The vast majority of research involving active learning pedagogies uses passive lecture methods as a baseline. We propose to move beyond such comparisons understand the mechanisms that make different styles unique. Here, we use COPUS observations record student and instructor activities in six known physics, latent profile analysis classify these observations. Latent using two profiles successf...

Along with its methodological development, authorship analysis has expanded in scope to new application areas like authorship profiling and computational sociolinguistics as well as conventional ones like authorship attribution. For these new applications, providing a new interpretation of text through the textual characteristics is as important as improving the classification performance betwe...

BACKGROUND Participants in medical forums often reveal personal health information about themselves in their online postings. To feel comfortable revealing sensitive personal health information, some participants may hide their identity by posting anonymously. They can do this by using fake identities, nicknames, or pseudonyms that cannot readily be traced back to them. However, individual writ...

There are many occasions in which the security community is interested to discover the authorship of malware binaries, either for digital forensics analysis of malware corpora or for thwarting live threats of malware invasion. Such a discovery of authorship might be possible due to stylistic features inherent to software codes written by human programmers. Existing studies of authorship attribu...

Based on different writing style definitions, various authorship attribution schemes have been proposed to identify the real author of a given text or text excerpt. In this article we analyze the relative performance of word types or lemmas assigned to represent styles and texts. As a second objective we compare two authorship attribution approaches, one based on principal component analysis (P...
