As part of studies that employ health electronic records databases, this paper advocates the employment of graph theory for investigating drug-switching behaviors. Unlike the shared approach in this field (comparing groups that have switched with control groups), network theory can provide information about actual switching behavior patterns. After...
Epidemiological data on prevalence and incidence of chronic hypoparathyroidism are still scarce. This study aimed to establish prevalence of chronic hypoparathyroidism and incidence of surgical hypoparathyroidism using the analysis of electronic anonymous public health care database. Data referred to a 5-year period (2009–2013, Region of Tuscany, I...
Psychological research has found that human perception of randomness is biased. In particular, people consistently show the overalternating bias: they rate binary sequences of symbols (such as Heads and Tails in coin flipping) with an excess of alternation as more random than prescribed by the normative criteria of Shannon's entropy. Within data mi...
The vestibular system plays a crucial role in the sense of balance and spatial orientation in mammals. It is a sensory system that detects both rotational and translational motion of the head, via its semicircular canals and otoliths respectively. In this work, we propose a real-time hardware model of an artificial vestibular system, implemented us...
This work aims at implementing an event driven neuromorphic vestibular sensor using a commercial Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a custom analog VLSI neuromorphic chip. We investigate a model of the vestibular sensor that emulates the spiking responses of hair cells in the semicircular canals. We calibrate the neuromorphic chip to match the par...
This document represents the final version of the mid-term Assessment report over the period of December 1, 2005 - December 1, 2006. Its objective is to provide an overview of how the project has advanced in the first period of the project and in particular, how the project has started, what are the activities and work that have been conducted (inc...
This document represents the second part of del 7.1 Mid-Term Assessment Report, which presents the Financial Information of the first period of the AtGentive project.
This report is the document associated to the deliverable D6.3 (second version of AtGentive Project Web communicating the project). It describes the structure of public website www.atgentive.com and its features facilitating project dissemination.
This document supports the delivery of the early prototypes of the AtGentive components and the early prototypes of AtgentNet & AtgentSchool. The goal of this deliverable is to show the early implementation of the early prototype of the attentive agent components in the two platforms.
This deliverable specifies approaches and mechanisms for validating and improving the user interaction in the AtGentive platforms via empirical techniques. The purpose of the validation is to inform the design and the iterative prototype construction process about the changes in interaction that result from different types of attentional guidance f...
This deliverable analyses attention in learning and collaboration with the aim of defining a theoretical framework capable of representing the wide range of attentional processes that one may want to support within learning and collaboration environment. The analysis aims at being exhaustive rather than selective: in future deliverables a small sub...
This document represents the second step used for elaborating the design of the AtGentive systems. The first part of this document consists in the individual description of the different components in term of functions and interfaces. This description also describes the principles and approaches that are used to connect the different components. Th...
