Action recognition in the premotor cortex

by Vittorio Gallese, Luciano Fadiga, Leonardo Fogassi, Giacomo Rizzolatti - Brain , 1996
"... We recorded electrical activity from 532 neurons in the rostral part of inferior area 6 (area F5) of two macaque monkeys. Previous data had shown that neurons of this area discharge during goal-directed hand and mouth movements. We describe here the properties of a newly discovered set of F5 neurons ..."

neurons ('mirror neurons', n = 92) all of which became active both when the monkey performed a given action and when it observed a similar action performed by the experimenter. Mirror neurons, in order to be visually triggered, required an interaction between the agent of the action

Gene selection for cancer classification using support vector machines

by Isabelle Guyon, Jason Weston, Stephen Barnhill, Vladimir Vapnik, Nello Cristianini - Machine Learning
"... Abstract. DNA micro-arrays now permit scientists to screen thousands of genes simultaneously and determine whether those genes are active, hyperactive or silent in normal or cancerous tissue. Because these new micro-array devices generate bewildering amounts of raw data, new analytical methods must ..."

Visual interpretation of hand gestures for human-computer interaction: A review

by Vladimir I. Pavlovic, Rajeev Sharma, Thomas S. Huang - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1997
"... The use of hand gestures provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, visual interpretation of hand gestures can help in achieving the ease and naturalness desired for HCI. This has motivated a very active research area conc ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

On the time course of perceptual choice: the leaky competing accumulator model

by Marius Usher, James L. McClelland - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 2001
"... The time course of perceptual choice is discussed in a model based on gradual and stochastic accumulation of information in non-linear decision units with leakage (or decay of activation) and competition through lateral inhibition. In special cases, the model becomes equivalent to a classical diffus ..."

Recognition of visual activities and interactions by stochastic parsing

by Yuri A. Ivanov, Aaron F. Bobick - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... This paper describes a probabilistic syntactic approach to the detection and recognition of temporally extended activities and interactions between multiple agents. The fundamental idea is to divide the recognition problem into two levels. The lower level detections are performed using standard inde ..."

Svm-knn: Discriminative nearest neighbor classification for visual category recognition

by Hao Zhang, Alexander C. Berg, Michael Maire, Jitendra Malik - in CVPR , 2006
"... We consider visual category recognition in the framework of measuring similarities, or equivalently perceptual distances, to prototype examples of categories. This approach is quite flexible, and permits recognition based on color, texture, and particularly shape, in a homogeneous framework. While n ..."

Storage and executive processes in the frontal lobes.

by Edward E Smith , John Jonides - Science, , 1999
"... The human frontal cortex helps mediate working memory, a system that is used for temporary storage and manipulation of information and that is involved in many higher cognitive functions. Working memory includes two components: short-term storage (on the order of seconds) and executive processes th ..."

that operate on the contents of storage. Recently, these two components have been investigated in functional neuroimaging studies. Studies of storage indicate that different frontal regions are activated for different kinds of information: storage for verbal materials activates Broca's area and left

Dynamic binding in a neural network for shape recognition

by John E. Hummel, Irving Biederman - Psychological Review , 1992
"... Given a single view of an object, humans can readily recognize that object from other views that preserve the parts in the original view. Empirical evidence suggests that this capacity reflects the activation of a viewpoint-invariant structural description specifying the object's parts and the ..."
