Use of eye tracking improves the detection of evoked responses to complex visual stimuli during EEG in infants

Objective To improve the reliability of detecting EEG responses evoked by complex visual stimuli to the level required for clinical use by integrating an eye tracker to the EEG setup and optimizing the analysis protocol. Methods Infants were presented with continuous orientation reversal (OR), global form (GF), and global motion (GM) stimuli. Eye tracking was used to control stimulus presentation and exclude epochs with disoriented gaze. The spectral responses were estimated from 13 postcentral EEG channels using a circular variant of Hotelling’s T2 test statistic. Results Among 39 healthy infants, statistically significant (pPeer reviewe

Mulheres e Reforma

Quantitative sensory testing of temperature thresholds: Possible biomarkers for persistent pain?

To investigate the reproducibility of thermal thresholds, as measured by repeated quantitative sensory testing (QST) in healthy controls, and to asses if temperature sensitivity differs between healthy controls and a cohort of patients with persistent pain

Robotic Maintenance and ROS - Appearance Based SLAM and Navigation With a Mobile Robot Prototype

Robotic maintenance has been a topic in several master's theses and specialization projects at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics (ITK) at NTNU over many years. This thesis continues on the same topic, with special focus on camera-based mapping and navigation in conjunction with automated maintenance, and automated maintenance in general. The objective of this thesis is to implement one or more functionalities based on camera-based sensors in a mobile autonomous robot. This is accomplished by acquiring knowledge of existing solutions and future requirements within automated maintenance. A mobile robot prototype has been configured to run ROS (Robot Operating System), a middleware framework that is suited to the development of robotic systems. The system uses RTAB-Map (Real-Time Appearance Based Mapping) to survey the surroundings and a built navigation stack in ROS to navigate autonomously against easy targets in the map. The method uses a Kinect for Xbox 360 as the main sensor and a 2D laser scanner to the surveying and odometry. It is also developed functional concepts for two support functions, an Android application for remote control over Bluetooth and a remote central (OCS) developed in Qt. Remote Central is a skeletal implementation that is able to remotely control the robot via WiFi, as well as to display video from the robot's camera. Test results, obtained from both live and simulated trials, indicate that the robot is able to form 3D and 2D map of the surroundings. The method has weaknesses that are related to the ability to find visual features. Laser Based odometry can be tricked when the environment is changing, and when there are few unique features. Further testing has demonstrated that the robot can navigate autonomously, but there is still room for improvement. Better results can be achieved with a new movable platform and further tuning of the system. In conclusion, ROS works well as a development tools for robots, and the current system is suitable for further development. RTAB-Maps suitability for use on an industrial installation is still uncertain and requires further testing

New developments at the field of factory information systems and resource allocation solutions are constantly taken into practice within the field of manufacturing and production. Customers are turning their vision for more customized products and requesting further monitoring possibilities for the product itself, for its manufacturing and for its delivery. Similar paradigm change is taking place within the companies’ departments and between the clusters of manufacturing stakeholders. Modern cloud based tools are providing the means for gaining these objectives. Technology evolved from parallel, grid and distributed computing; at present cited as Cloud computing is one key future paradigm in factory and production automation. Regardless of the terminology still settling, in multiple occasions cloud computing is used term when referring to cloud services or cloud resources. Cloud technology is further-more understood as resources located outside individual entities premises. These resources are pieces of functionalities for gaining overall performance of the designed system and so worth such an architectural style is referred as Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA). Most prominent connection method for combining the resources is a communication via REST (Representational State Transfer) based interfaces. When comping cloud resources with internet connected devices technology, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and furthermore IoT Dashboards for creating user interfaces, substantial benefits can be gained. These benefits include shorter lead-time for user interface development, process data gathering and production monitoring at higher abstract level. This Master’s Thesis takes a study for modern cloud computing resources and IoT Dashboards technologies for gaining process monitoring capabilities able to be used in the field of university research. During the thesis work, an alternative user group is kept in mind. Deploying similar methods for private production companies manufacturing environments. Additionally, field of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and one of its sub-category Direct Energy Deposition Method (DED) is detailed for gaining comprehension over the process monitoring needs, laying in the questioned manufacturing method. Finally, an implementation is developed for monitoring Tampere University of Technology Direct Energy Deposition method manufacturing environment research cell process both in real-time and gathering the process data for later reviewing. These functionalities are gained by harnessing cloud based infrastructures and resources

The lost photos: archaeothanatology applied to photo documentation from the 1960s reveals new data about Mesolithic burials, Sado valley, Portugal

The Mesolithic shell middens in Portugal aggregate some of the largest and earliest burial grounds known, around 8000 years old, arranged and maintained by populations with an exclusive hunting, fishing, and foraging lifestyle. The archaeological material is housed in museums and consists of artefacts, field documentation (written, graphic) and more than 300 human skeletons. This archaeological assemblage is exceptional due to its quality and antiquity, but its early excavation introduces several challenges to the modern research. Here we present an analysis of the burials in the shell middens of Arapouco and Poças de S. Bento in the Sado valley, Portugal following the principles of archaeothanatology to reconstruct past ritual practices as responses to death. Our analysis was based on unpublished photographs from the 1960s and our aims were 1) to identify the nature of the deposits (primary, secondary); 2) to describe the space of decomposition of the cadaver (filled, empty, mixed); 3) to reconstruct the initial position of the cadaver in the feature; 4) to reconstruct the grave features, such as size and shape; 5) to detect the initial presence of perishable materials deposited along with the cadaver, such as structures behind the bodies, or wrappings of the body at the time of disposal; 6) to clearly define the deposits containing more than one individual; 7) to identify post-depositional manipulations of the cadaver. The method, which emerged in the context of field archaeology lays great emphasis on the field situation and it has been argued that assessment of the material may not be possible if key observations are not documented in situ. Despite the limitations, we demonstrate with this case study that archaeothanatology is a robust and reliable method to assess, study, and retrieve new data from the extensive archaeological assemblages of human remains available in museums.N/
