Jellyfish inspired soft robot prototype which uses circumferential contraction for jet propulsion
(2017-07-25)© Springer International Publishing AG 2017. Several robotic jellyfish have been designed over the years, yet none have properly mimicked the very efficient method of propulsion that jellyfish use. Using circumferential ... -
Soft robotic snake with variable stiffness actuation
(2017-07-20)© Springer International Publishing AG 2017. In this paper, we present a prototype of a 3D printed snake-like robot for search and rescue applications, inspired by biological snake anatomy and locomotion. Unlike traditional ... -
The speed of learning instructed stimulus-response association rules in human: experimental data and model.
(NetherlandsNetherlands, 2013-11-06)Humans can learn associations between visual stimuli and motor responses from just a single instruction. This is known to be a fast process, but how fast is it? To answer this question, we asked participants to learn a ... -
Mediofrontal event-related potentials in response to positive, negative and unsigned prediction errors.
(EnglandEngland, 2014-08)Reinforcement learning models make use of reward prediction errors (RPEs), the difference between an expected and obtained reward. There is evidence that the brain computes RPEs, but an outstanding question is whether ... -
A neural reward prediction error revealed by a meta-analysis of ERPs using great grand averages.
(United StatesUnited States, 2015-01)Economic approaches to decision making assume that people attach values to prospective goods and act to maximize their obtained value. Neuroeconomics strives to observe these values directly in the brain. A widely used ... -
Principal components analysis of reward prediction errors in a reinforcement learning task.
(United StatesUnited States, 2016-01-01)Models of reinforcement learning represent reward and punishment in terms of reward prediction errors (RPEs), quantitative signed terms describing the degree to which outcomes are better than expected (positive RPEs) or ... -
PhonItalia: a phonological lexicon for Italian.
(United StatesUnited StatesUnited States, 2014-09)In this article, we present the first open-access lexical database that provides phonological representations for 120,000 Italian word forms. Each of these also includes syllable boundaries and stress markings and a ... -
Enhanced referral prioritisation for acute adult dietetic services: A randomised control trial to test a web-based decision training tool.
(England, 2017-08-26)BACKGROUND & AIMS: Dietitians in acute adult services need to prioritise dietetic referrals in order to manage their daily workload and ensure effective treatment of patients. Newly qualified dietitians do not usually ...
