Voluntary drive is crucial for motor learning, therefore we are interested in the role that motor planning plays in gait movements. In this study we examined the impact of an interactive Virtual Environment (VE) feedback task on the EEG patterns during robot assisted walking. We compared walking in the VE modality to two control conditions: walking with a visual attention paradigm, in which vis...

we report three cases of asymptomatic celiac disease identified in children with down syndrome after being screened at around twenty-four months of age.  these cases raise the question as to what age is screening for celiac disease indicated in a child with down syndrome and no symptoms.

Visual perception is not only based on incoming visual signals but also on information about a multimodal reference frame that incorporates vestibulo-proprioceptive input and motor signals. In addition, top-down modulation of visual processing has previously been demonstrated during cognitive operations including selective attention and working memory tasks. In the absence of a stable gravitati...

Performance prediction of checkpointing systems in the presence of failures is a well-studied research area. This paper makes three small contributions to this research area. First, we show how to apply the concept of availability from reliability theory as a useful metric for checkpointing systems. Second, we study the average availability of uniprocessor checkpointing systems, using the libck...

UNLABELLED Control over visual selection has long been framed in terms of a dichotomy between "source" and "site," where top-down feedback signals originating in frontoparietal cortical areas modulate or bias sensory processing in posterior visual areas. This distinction is motivated in part by observations that frontoparietal cortical areas encode task-level variables (e.g., what stimulus is c...
