Distractor-Aware Long-Term Correlation Tracking Based on Information Entropy Weighted Feature

IEEE Access, 2020
Correlation filter based tracking algorithms have received significant attention in visual tracking due to their accuracy and speed. However, it is susceptible to distractors and performs poor when it is faced with occlusion and severe deformation.

Real‐Time Holographic Feedback via Mixed Reality Sensorized Laryngoscope Training System Enhances Pediatric Intubation Training

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We proposed a Mixed Reality Sensorized Laryngoscope Training System to provide real‐time holographic torque feedback during pediatric endotracheal intubation simulation. Visualization formats are evaluated to reduce tracking error and visual demand.

Neural correlates of learning to attend

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2010
Recent work has shown that training can improve attentional focus. Little is known, however, about how training in attention and multitasking affects the brain. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure changes in cortical responses

Item Analysis: The impact of distractor efficiency on the discrimination power of multiple choice items [PDF]

, 2019
Abstract Background Distractor efficiency of multiple choice item responses is a component of item analysis used by the examiners to to evaluate the credibility and functionality of the distractors.Objective To evaluate the impact of functionality (efficiency) of the distractors on difficulty and discrimination indices.Methods A cross-sectional

Precisely Regulating 2.45 s Pure Blue Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence via Supramolecular Coordination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, a pure deep blue room‐temperature phosphorescence (415 nm) with lifetime up to 2.45 s is successfully achieved by a covalently crosslinking purely organic material based on boric acid (BA) and 3,5‐dicarboxyphenylboronic acid (BOP) through a simple dehydration reaction, which can be adjusted precisely by supramolecular coordination with ...

Investigation of a Model-Based Working Memory Training With and Without Distractor Inhibition and Its Comparative Efficacy: A Randomized Controlled Trial on Healthy Old Adults

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
Background: Various working memory (WM) trainings have been tested, but differences in experimental designs, the lack of theoretical background, and the need of identifying task-related processes such as filtering efficiency limit conclusions about their

Efficient Attentional Selection Predicts Distractor Devaluation: Event-related Potential Evidence for a Direct Link between Attention and Emotion [PDF]

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2007
Abstract Links between attention and emotion were investigated by obtaining electrophysiological measures of attentional selectivity together with behavioral measures of affective evaluation. Participants were asked to rate faces that had just been presented as targets or distractors in a visual search task.

Brain Network Dynamics of Local and Global Predictive Processing in Aging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Separation of concurrent whole‐brain networks in source‐reconstructed magnetoencephalography (MEG) data suggests that healthy aging reorganizes, rather than uniformly attenuates, neural responses elicited from hierarchical auditory violations. Enhanced early sensory deviance processing alongside reduced higher‐order cognitive responses suggests a large‐
