With the success of emerging RGB-D cameras such as the Kinect sensor, combining the shape (depth) and texture information to improve the quality of recognition became a trend among computer vision researchers. In this work, we address the problem of face classification in the context of RGB images and depth data. Inspired by the psychological resul...

Research conducted in Beslan one year after a terrorist attack showed that extreme situations of this kind had deep impact not only on direct victims - people who were in the epicenter of the situation and their relatives, but also on the other residents of the town who were not touched directly by this tragic event. At the same time, long- term in...

Neurophysiologic studies of mindfulness link the health benefits of meditation to activation of the left-anterior cerebral cortex. The similarity and functional importance of intention and attentional stance in meditative and biofield therapeutic practices suggest that modulation of recipient anterior asymmetric activation may mediate...

... The participants rated their own mood using the 5-face visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 4 with pictures going from a frowning/sad face to a smiling/happy face representing mood (Navarro 2014). The participants simply circled the face that best depicted their current mood. ...
... The physical movement and skill development that were central to the African drumming sessions could potentially lead to cognitive gains as has been found in previous studies (Kramer et al. 1999;Seinfeld et al. 2013;Thompson et al. 2005). For future studies examining the impact interventions, such as those employed in the current study on mood and demeanour, it should be noted that the 5-face VAS (Navarro 2014) and the MiDAS (McDermott, Orrell and Ridder 2015) were both shown to be useful measures. ...
This article reports on a study that examined the effects of African drumming on the mood and demeanour of older individuals, both those with and those without dementia, in Hong Kong. Previous research indicated that music-making has a positive effect on older adults’ overall health and well-being. The study participants’ mood and demeanour were measured through observer and self-rating before and after taking part in one of three African drumming sessions. There was a significant improvement in all aspects of all the participants’ mood and demeanour after participating in the drumming sessions. A positive impact of the drumming session was also found on the caregivers. The drumming sessions involved physical activity, skill acquisition, reminiscence, joint music making and social interaction that all could have led to the large positive changes in mood and demeanour found in the study participants.
