Soft Active Electromyography Interface for Machine Learning‐Enabled Silent Speech Recognition

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A soft, hand‐worn electromyography interface enables intent‐driven silent speech recognition without continuous facial attachment. The device integrates liquid‐metal interconnects, a transparent flexible circuit, and elastomer encapsulation with a fingertip electrode that contacts perioral muscles only on demand.

Behavioural dimensions reveal lead-lag patterns in the cognitive internalization of permissive subjects in English, Dutch and German

Language and Cognition
Functional approaches to language propose that grammatical patterns emerge from efficiency-related pressures in language usage. Recent work further emphasizes that variation and change in grammatical properties may arise from interactions among different

Constraints in contact: Animacy in English and Afrikaans genitive variation – a cross-linguistic perspective

Glossa, 2017
This paper builds on the observation that the animacy effects we find in English genitive variation are part of a larger cross-linguistic pattern as reflected in possession splits based on animacy (Koptjevskaja-Tamm 2001, 2002; Stolz et al.
