Young children often have a preference for auditory input, with auditory input often overshadowing visual input. The current research investigated the developmental trajectory and factors underlying these effects with 137 infants, 132 four-year-olds, and 89 adults. Auditory preference reverses with age: Infants demonstrated an auditory preference, 4-year-olds switched between auditory and visua...

29 Multi-channel surface electromyograms (EMGs) were used to examine the sensitivity of 30 EMG-EMG coherence to infer changes in common oscillatory drive to hand muscles in young 31 and older adults. Previous research has shown that measures of coherence calculated from 32 different neurophysiological signals are influenced by the age of the subject, visual feedback 33 provided to the subject, ...

Preference learning is a challenging problem that involves the prediction of complex structures, such as weak or partial order relations. In the recent literature, the problem appears in many different guises, which we will first put into a coherent framework. This work then focuses on a particular learning scenario called label ranking, where the problem is to learn a mapping from instances to...

This work provides initial results on the relationship between argumentation and Paul Thagard’s coherence theory. We study the relationship, via appropriate transformations, between different types of coherent graphs (according to the values in the arcs) and different argumentation frameworks such as Dung’s abstract argumentation framework, weighted argument systems or preference-based argument...

Preference learning is a challenging problem that involves the prediction of complex structures, such as weak or partial order relations, rather than single values. In the recent literature, the problem appears in many different guises, which we will first put into a coherent framework. This work then focuses on a particular learning scenario called label ranking, where the problem is to learn ...

In recent years, the analysis of the coherence between signals recorded from the scalp [electroencephalographic (EEG) coherence] has been used to assess the functional properties of cortico-cortical connections, both in animal models and in humans. However, the experimental validation of this technique is still scarce. Therefore we applied it to the study of the callosal connections between the...

Eye preference in humans and its correlation with eye dominance, visual acuity and handedness. Eye preference in humans and its correlation with eye dominance, visual acuity and handedness. Handedness is the most obvious expression of lateralized behaviour in humans. However, there is only limited knowledge about other forms of lateralized behaviour, e.g. preferential use of an eye and whether ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the decibel loss on the Macular threshold protocol of the Humphrey visual field as a reliable functional outcome of the intravitreal bevacizumab treatment. METHODS Thirteen patients were evaluated at baseline and on the week 6 for best corrected visual acuity, optical coherence tomography central macular thickness and decibel loss on Macular threshold protocol of the Humph...
