2020 IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)
No full textThis edition of IEEE EAIS follows on from the past editions of the conference, which build upon the realizationthat the ongoing technological evolution is producing massive amounts of data coming from highly complex processes that conventional techniques for designing data-driven intelligent systems may be unable to model, because the patterns underlying data may be non-stationary and structurally changing. This kind of data requires techniques to design intelligent systems that are able to follow the evolving conditions of data in order to extract valuable information and knowledge. In short, evolving ad adaptive intelligent systems are key technologies in wide-spread data-intensive applications; in fact, many of the 43 accepted contributions are devoted to real-world applications of evolving and/or adaptive intelligent systems. Also, the complexity of the subject leads to a flourishing research on the methods for designing evolving and adaptive systems, which is also witnessed by several papers in the proceedings

Description of students' opinions about schizophrenia and depression.
METHODS:
The study was carried out on a sample of 445 secondary school students, randomly allocated to a "schizophrenia" or a "depression" group (N = 221 and N = 224, respectively). Each respondent was asked to read a case-vignette describing a case of schizophrenia or depression, and then to fill the Questionnaire on the Opinions about Mental Illness--General Population's version (QO-GP).
RESULTS:
35% of students in "schizophrenia" group vs. 85% in "depression" group attributed a correct diagnosis to case-vignette. 19% of students in the "schizophrenia" group vs. 39% in the "depression" group believed that these mental disorders can recover. Affective and civil rights were more frequently acknowledged to patients with depression than to those with schizophrenia. In both groups, the majority of students stated that mentally ill patients were unpredictable and socially dangerous. Students who reported TV stories on people with mentally ill were more frequently convinced on their unpredictability and social dangerousness.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results outline the need to: a) plan educational campaigns for students on mental disorders; b) alert media professionals on the impact that the way they present crimes committed by mentally ill patients may have on general population

No full text<b>Background</b>
Most research on the roles of auditory information and its interaction with vision has focused on perceptual performance. Little is known on the effects of sound cues on visually-guided hand movements.<p></p>
<b>Methodology/Principal Findings</b>
We recorded the sound produced by the fingers upon contact as participants grasped stimulus objects which were covered with different materials. Then, in a further session the pre-recorded contact sounds were delivered to participants via headphones before or following the initiation of reach-to-grasp movements towards the stimulus objects. Reach-to-grasp movement kinematics were measured under the following conditions: (i) congruent, in which the presented contact sound and the contact sound elicited by the to-be-grasped stimulus corresponded; (ii) incongruent, in which the presented contact sound was different to that generated by the stimulus upon contact; (iii) control, in which a synthetic sound, not associated with a real event, was presented. Facilitation effects were found for congruent trials; interference effects were found for incongruent trials. In a second experiment, the upper and the lower parts of the stimulus were covered with different materials. The presented sound was always congruent with the material covering either the upper or the lower half of the stimulus. Participants consistently placed their fingers on the half of the stimulus that corresponded to the presented contact sound.<p></p>
<b>Conclusions/Significance</b>
Altogether these findings offer a substantial contribution to the current debate about the type of object representations elicited by auditory stimuli and on the multisensory nature of the sensorimotor transformations underlying action
