Voice processing in neurodegenerative disease is poorly understood. Here we undertook a systematic investigation of voice processing in a cohort of patients with clinical diagnoses representing two canonical dementia syndromes: temporal variant frontotemporal lobar degeneration (n = 14) and Alzheimer's disease (n = 22). Patient performance was compared with a healthy matched control group (n = ...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is a common injury leading to child disability and is associated with a variety of long-term cognitive, social, and behavioral dysfunctions. emotion perception (ep) starts up an integral part of social communication is critical to achieve developmentally appropriate goals. this skill, which emerges relatively early in development, is driven by increasing connectivit...

Introduction Traditionally, surgical training in otology, is imparted by dissecting harvested human cadaveric temporal bones. However, maintenance of a cadaveric temporal bone laboratory is expensive and carries risk of exposure to infection. In recent times, other modalities of training are gaining ground and are likely to eventually replace cadaveric temporal bone dissection altogether. Objec...

In this paper, we present a solution to Large-Scale Video Classification Challenge (LSVC2017) [1] that ranked the 1st place. We focused on a variety of modalities that cover visual, motion and audio. Also, we visualized the aggregation process to better understand how each modality takes effect. Among the extracted modalities, we found Temporal-Spatial features calculated by 3D convolution quit...

A reflective subuniverse in homotopy type theory is an internal version of the notion a localization topology or ∞-categories. Working theory, we give new characterizations following conditions on L: (1) associated L′ L-separated types modality; (2) L (3) lex and (4) cotopological modality. In each case, several necessary sufficient conditions. Our involve various families maps to L, such as L-...

Here we demonstrate that the perceptual system adapts to tactile-visual temporal asynchronies (i.e., temporal recalibration). Participants were exposed to a train of tactile and visual stimuli with a constant time lag (either -100ms, 0ms, or 100ms; with negative values indicating that the tactile stimulus came first). Following exposure, they were presented tactile-visual test stimulus pairs an...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that white matter integrity may play an underlying pathophysiological role in schizophrenia. N-acetylaspartate (NAA), as measured by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), is a neuronal marker and is decreased in white matter lesions and regions of axonal loss. It has also been found to be reduced in the prefrontal and temporal regions in patients with schizophrenia...

Confronted with the loss of one type of sensory input, we compensate using information conveyed by other senses. However, losing one type of sensory information at specific developmental times may lead to deficits across all sensory modalities. We addressed the effect of auditory deprivation on the development of tactile abilities, taking into account changes occurring at the behavioral and cor...

Branching-time temporal logics have proved to be an extraordinarily successful tool in the formal specification and verification of distributed systems. Much of their success stems from the tractability of the model checking problem for the branching time logic ctl, which has made it possible to implement tools that allow designers to automatically verify that systems satisfy requirements expre...

Visual and auditory temporal processing and crossmodal integration are crucial factors in the word decoding process. The speed of processing (SOP) gap (Asynchrony) between these two modalities, which has been suggested as related to the dyslexia phenomenon, is the focus of the current study. Nineteen dyslexic and 17 non-impaired University adult readers were given stimuli in a reaction time (RT...
