Quantification of upper limb position sense using an exoskeleton and a virtual reality display
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2018 Background Proprioceptive sense plays a significant role in the generation and correction of skilled movements and, consequently, in most activities of daily living. We developed a new proprioception assessment protocol that enables the quantification of

Integration in Social Networks [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018 We propose the notion of $k$-integration as a measure of equality of opportunity in social networks. A social network is $k$-integrated if there is a path of length at most $k$ between any two individuals, thus guaranteeing that everybody has the same network opportunities to find a job, a romantic partner, or valuable information.
