introduction: auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering are two major components of the auditory temporal processing abilities that contribute to speech perception and language development. auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering can be evaluated by gap-in-noise (gin) and pitch-pattern-sequence (pps) tests, respectively. in this survey, the effect of biling...

Alongside the melting of glaciers, human bodies warn another petrochemically driven planetary crisis. Much as climate science ignored early warning observations Indigenous peoples, medical establishment has oft en dismissed canaries struggling to survive in mineshaft modernity. In an aleatory Anthropocene, we know not for whom toxicity will toll. While case studies environmental justice remain ...

abstract background: the aim of this study was to investigate the various aspects of illness perceptions about breast cancer in affected patients. methods: a cross-sectional study enrolled 140 patients with breast cancer in their chemotherapy period within 14 months. the revised illness perception questionnaire (revised ipq) was used to assess the disease representations of breast cancer. the d...

background and aims. the majority of complete denture wearers are old. clinical experience suggests that complete denture wearers have various disorders in their gustatory and olfactory senses due to disturbance of airways between the oral and nasal cavities caused by upper complete denture. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of upper complete denture on gustatory and olfactor...

We introduce a mobile app for collecting in-the-wild data, including sensor measurements and self-reported labels describing people’s behavioral context (e.g. driving, eating, in class, shower). Labeled data is necessary for developing contextrecognition systems that serve health monitoring, aging care, and more. Acquiring labels without observers is challenging and previous solutions compromis...

urban perception is the result of mutual transaction between human and environment and the process of perception is developed through the three continuous steps of “sensation”, “perception” and “cognition”. in the first step (sensorial perception), the environmental signals are received via sensorial sensors and each different sense based on its own essence, performance and ability has its own ...

Introduction: Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering are two major components of the auditory temporal processing abilities that contribute to speech perception and language development. Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering can be evaluated by gap-in-noise (GIN) and pitch-pattern-sequence (PPS) tests, respectively. In this survey, the effect of biling...

Translating fine-grained activity detection (e.g., phone ring, talking interspersed with silence and walking) into semantically meaningful richer contextual information on a call for 20 minutes while exercising) is essential towards enabling range of healthcare human-computer interaction applications. Prior work has proposed building ontologies or temporal analysis patterns limited success in c...

objectives: conducting field tests of a vibrotactile aid for deaf/deafblind persons for detection, identification and directional perception of environmental sounds. methods: five deaf (3f/2m, 22–36 years) individuals tested the aid separately in a home environment (kitchen) and in a traffic environment. their eyes were blindfolded and they wore a headband and holding a vibrator for sound ident...

Dream reality and artist-created virtual reality, combined with the we perceive as physical, form three realities of human experience. Taking this into account, primary senses seem incomplete without extrasensory senses, which allow access to higher states consciousness. Artists sometimes use those source creativity, inspiration, ideas.The real-time neurofeedback shows brainwave activity in the...
