PEVIANI, VALERIA CARMEN. "Metric biases in body and object representations." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Pavia, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/11571/1329171.

Full text

Abstract:

The dimensions and proportion of our body parts are typically misestimated. For instance, the hand is perceived as distorted, with its width overrepresented compared to its length. Even though we misperceive its shape and dimensions, our hand is the protagonist of extremely accurate fine movements, as well as the means by which we sense the world. This thesis is organised into two chapters. The first one describes two studies aimed at investigating the role of the biased representation of the hand in motor planning and execution. In Study 1, we provided evidence in support of the hypothesis

Abstract:

The mental representation of the body is being a subject of intensive research from different perspectives starting from the 20th Century. Indeed, the body is a peculiar object for the brain, being at the same time a physical, space-occupying object and the critical mean for perception and action in the world around us. The present doctoral work focussed on the spatial representation of the body; in particular it was investigated whether the body holds a specific metric representation, which is supposed to be useful for action programming and interaction with the environment, as introduced in

Abstract:

La conoscenza della grandezza delle proprie parti corporee è essenziale per muoversi in maniera efficiente nell’ambiente esterno e per interagire accuratamente sia con gli oggetti sia con le altre persone. Attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare che combina paradigmi neurofisiologici (stimolazione cerebrale non invasiva) e comportamentali, la presente tesi indaga i meccanismi cognitivi e neurali sottostanti la rappresentazione della grandezza delle parti corporee. Lo Studio #1 dimostra il ruolo causale della corteccia somatosensoriale primaria nell’elaborazione della grandezza delle proprie

Abstract:

Una grande varietà di input sensoriali dal mondo e dal corpo, sono continuamente integrati nel cervello al fine di creare rappresentazioni mentali sovramodali e coerenti del nostro stesso corpo. La plasticità è una caratteristica fondamentale di tali rappresentazioni, che consente costanti cambiamenti adattativi nelle funzioni mentali e nel comportamento. Anche le rappresentazioni corporee possono cambiare in base all'esperienza e, soprattutto, possono essere temporaneamente modificate mediante protocolli sperimentali. Nel presente lavoro, eravamo interessati a valutare la plasticità della per

Abstract:

The objective of this dissertation is the application of Minkowskian cross-section measures (i.e., section and projection measures in finite-dimensional linear normed spaces over the real field) to various topics of geometric convexity in Minkowski spaces, such as bodies of constant Minkowskian width, Minkowskian geometry of simplices, geometric inequalities and the corresponding optimization problems for convex bodies. First we examine one-dimensional Minkowskian cross-section measures deriving (in a unified manner) various properties of these measures. Some of these properties are extensions

Abstract:

Histopathology studies of metal nanoparticles (NPs) compared to traditional forms of metal in fish are scarce. Additionally, it is unclear whether metal nanoparticles cause greater or different pathologies compared to other forms of metal. The current study aimed to assess the pathological effects of Cu-NPs and TiO2 NPs on rainbow trout via various routes of exposure and, where appropriate, to compare them to either the equivalent dissolved metal salts or bulk powder forms. The first experiment showed that waterborne exposure to Cu-NPs and CuSO4 caused similar types of organ pathologies and al

Abstract:

Although tracking data have completely revolutionized the whole data science paradigm in sports competitions with the largest economic resources, its use in a European context is still unexplored. In this thesis, three tracking-related contributions are presented in the sports domain. First, the creation of vision-based basketball multi-tracking methods is studied from a single-camera perspective, which could be useful for clubs with low resources or for the recovery of vintage games’ tracking. Then, tracking data in the soccer domain is enriched by adding a novel layer of information: p

Abstract:

Detecting human actions using a camera has many possible applications in the security industry. When a human performs an action, his/her body goes through a signature sequence of poses. To detect these pose changes and hence the activities performed, a pattern recogniser needs to be built into the video system. Due to the temporal nature of the patterns, Hidden Markov Models (HMM), used extensively in speech recognition, were investigated. Initially a gesture recognition system was built using novel features. These features were obtained by approximating the contour of the foreground object wi

Abstract:

In movement science with inertial sensor many different methodologies resolving specific aspects of movement recognition have been proposed. They are very interesting, and useful, but none of them are generally explicative of what is going on in the semantic sense. When we go down to the movement recognition/classification area (for example in Ambient Intelligence) we do not have a feasible model that can be considered generally predictive or usable for activity recognition. Also, in the field of movement recognition with inertial sensors many technological issues arise: technological div

Abstract:

With the advent of better health care and medical technology, as well as miniaturized devices with built-in radios, today we can see (WBANs) emerging as one of the main research topics. The sensor nodes worn by patients in a WBAN collect and/or process large amount of data for continuous health monitoring or analysis. However, as the data being dealt with is private and sensitive, even protected by law in many countries, secure data transmission in WBAN is one of key the issues and needs to be addressed before it can be widely deployed. The communication of the sensitive data among the sensors

Abstract:

Estimation of the biological profile from as many skeletal elements as possible is a necessity in both forensic and bioarchaeological contexts; this includes non-standard aspects of the biological profile, such as body mass index (BMI). BMI is a measure that allows for understanding of the composition of an individual and is traditionally divided into four groups: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese. BMI estimation incorporates both estimation of stature and body mass. The estimation of stature from skeletal elements is commonly included into the standard biological profile but t

Abstract:

The thesis deals with two separate problems. In the first part we show that the regular n×n grid of points in Z2 cannot be recovered from an arbitrary n2 -element subset of Z2 using only mappings with prescribed maximum stretch independent of n. This provides a negative answer to a question of Uriel Feige from 2002. The present approach builds on the work of Burago and Kleiner and McMullen from 1998 on bilipschitz non-realisable densities and bilipschitz non-equivalence of separated nets in the plane. We describe a procedure that takes a positive, measurable function and encodes it into a sequ

Abstract:

The human bony pelvis has evolved into its current form through competing selective forces. Bipedalism and parturition of large headed babies resulted in a form that is a complex compromise. While the morphology of the human pelvis has been extensively studied, the changes that have occurred since the adoption of the modern form, the secular changes that continue to alter the size and shape of the pelvis, have not received nearly as much attention. This research aims to examine the changes that have altered the morphology of the human bony pelvic girdle of individuals in the United States b

Abstract:

The lack of emotional intelligence can be linked to problem behaviour in adolescent boys between 14 and 18 years of age. The concepts of emotions, emotional intelligence, adolescents and adaptation formed the focal point of this research. Profiles were compiled from data obtained from the Q-metrics emotional intelligence questionnaire, the Sacks Sentence Completion Test, an unstructured interview and the projection media (Draw a person). Detailed information with regards to risk and protective factors for each adolescent boy were provided. The above techniques and measuring instruments pro
