How Pointing is Integrated into Language: Evidence From Speakers and Signers

Frontiers in Communication, 2021
When people speak or sign, they not only describe using words but also depict and indicate. How are these different methods of communication integrated?

Using Neck Muscle Afferentation to Control an Ongoing Limb Movement? Individual Differences in the Influence of Brief Neck Vibration

Brain Sciences, 2023
When preparing and executing goal-directed actions, neck proprioceptive information is critical to determining the relative positions of the body and target in space.

A Subwavelength Focusing Structure Composite of Nanoscale Metallic Slits Array With Patterned Dielectric Substrate

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2014
A novel plasmonic lens consisting of metallic nanoslits with a patterned dielectric substrate is proposed. In the structure, all metallic nanoslits have the same geometrical parameters and interspacing. The phase of incident light is modulated beforehand

Too much information is no information: how machine learning and feature selection could help in understanding the motor control of pointing

Frontiers in Big Data, 2023
The aim of this study was to develop the use of Machine Learning techniques as a means of multivariate analysis in studies of motor control. These studies generate a huge amount of data, the analysis of which continues to be largely univariate.

Inconsistent use of gesture space during abstract pointing impairs language comprehension

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Pointing towards concrete objects is a well-known and efficient communicative strategy. Much less is known about the communicative effectiveness of abstract pointing where the pointing gestures are directed to empty space.

A few points on point-to-point correlation functions [PDF]

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1994
The short-time regime of QCD two-point correlation functions is examined through a QCD-Sum-Rule-inspired continuum model. QCD Sum Rule techniques are tested and alternate nucleon interpolating fields are discussed. The techniques presented here may be of practical use in determining heavy-light meson decay constants.

Pointing and Representing - Three Options [PDF]

, 2013
The aim of this paper is to explore the minimal representational requirements for pointing. One-year-old children are capable of pointing: what does this tell us about their representational capacities? We analysed three options: (a) Pointing presupposes
