The pleasurable urge to move to music, termed "groove," is thought to arise from the tension between top-down metric expectations or predictions and rhythmic complexity. Specifically, groove ratings are highest for moderately complex rhythms, balancing expectation and surprise. To test this, meter and rhythmic complexity need to be manipulated i ...

Pedestrian object detection is crucial in intelligent systems such as traffic management and surveillance. Traditional machine learning methods have shown drawbacks, including low accuracy and slow processing. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based algorithms have achieved notable progress, but mainstream CNNs still struggle with slow speed and low accu ...

Contaminants in harvested species can pose serious concerns for health and food security. However, the risks of contaminant exposure can be challenging to track as many species migrate extensively between breeding and feeding environments and usually form genetically distinct populations. Such in ...

Rationale: Cocaine addiction is marked by high relapse rates, often triggered by drug-associated cues in the environment. These can be conditioned stimuli (CSs), which occur after drug intake and signal drug delivery, and discriminative stimuli (DSs), which signal that seeking responses will produce drug, before any such responses have been initiated (i.e ...

The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is linked to poorer cerebrovascular health. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an indicator of vascular reserve, and cerebral pulsatility (CP), a marker of vascular stiffness, are sensitive biomarkers of early vascular dysfunction associated with ...

Background: One of the bottlenecks of visualization research is the lack of volunteers for studies that evaluate new methods and paradigms. The increased availability of web-based marketplaces, combined with the possibility of implementing volume rendering, a computationally expensive method, on mobile devices, has opened the door for using gamification i ...
