    Similar event-related potentials to structural violations in music and language: A replication of Patel, Gibson, Ratner, Besson, & Holcomb (1998).

    No full text
    This study is a replication of Patel et al. (1998). They tested whether a known EEG correlate of syntactic processing (the P600) is specific to the language domain, or applies to musical structure processing as well, when tested in musically trained participants

    Similar event-related potentials to structural violations in music and language: A replication of Patel, Gibson, Ratner, Besson, & Holcomb (1998).

    We report a replication of Patel, Gibson, Ratner, Besson & Holbomb (1998). The results of our replication are largely consistent with the conclusions of the original study. We found evidence of a P600 component of the event-related potential (ERP) in response to syntactic violations in language and harmonic inconsistencies in music. There were some minor differences in the spatial distribution of the P600 on the scalp between the replication and the original. The experiment was pre-registered at https://osf.io/g3b5j/register/565fb3678c5e4a66b5582f67. We conducted this experiment as part of an undergraduate cognitive science research methods class at Vassar College; we discuss the practice of integrating replication work into research methods courses

    2024 Spring EAS 360 STEM Communications project poster: Furnas Hall is a 10-story research and school facility that many students are required to use. The analysis for accessibility was done based on the following critical frameworks: Design Justice, Universal Design, and ADA Compliance

    PointGADM: Geometry Acquainted Deep Model for 3D Point Cloud Analysis

    No full text
    Deep learning-based approaches have shown great achievement in 3D point analysis. Due to the irregular and unordered data structure, point cloud analysis is still very challenging. Most existing work uses the convolution, graph, or attention mechanism to achieve the 3D geometry of the target shape. Only a few approaches consider global and local geometry information of point clouds. However, both kinds of geometry play a significant role in analysis. This paper proposes a geometry-acquainted fusion (GAF) module that considers global-to-local geometry information by multi-step processing. Further, we consider in-plane and out-plane distances to capture the geometrical information in the raw point cloud. The modules are utilized in two different architectures, devised for classification and segmentation. The classification network is a simple feed-forward architecture, whereas the segmentation network is developed based on a U-Net-like architecture with residual connections. We show that the proposed architectures perform quite well compared to the state-of-the-art methods in classification and segmentation tasks

    SustainSports - "Green": On and Off the Field

    No full text
    abstract: This project dives into the journey of our entrepreneurial startup with the Founders Lab Thesis Program. In the global sports business industry, we knew that there was something missing. While conducting market research, there was little data and information about sustainability initiatives that engaged sports fans, especially in college sports. Not to mention, there was no sustainability information provided on any existing platforms that sporting teams use for ticketing and advertising. So, for our startup, we decided to create a website called SustainSports which gives fans the opportunity to inform themselves about sustainability initiatives at sports events (https://sustainsports.webflow.io/). These fans can also earn points and rewards for practicing sustainability activities at home. In short, SustainSports serves as an educational, interactive, and informative website that connects users to sustainability initiatives, community activities, and exciting rewards, while encouraging users to continue such environmentally friendly practices in their daily lives. In chronological order, this thesis paper will examine the process we took to create SustainSports and demonstrate our efforts that properly allowed us to defend it one academic year later. From meetings with renowned sports enthusiasts and professors to interviews with ASU students and sports fans, we have listened to and taken in diverse perspectives to understand the perceptions of sustainability in the global sports industry. When we realized that there was a significant gap between sports and sustainability - both important elements of American society and culture - we knew a change needed to be made. Hence, SustainSports came to life, offering users a fresh opportunity to be more aware of their sustainability surroundings, while simultaneously enjoying the sports they know and love. (abstract

    Women and Words: The Role of Women in Somali Oral Literature

    No full text
    The author examines what some specific forms of Somali oral literature reveal about the roles and experiences of Somali women in their society. The discussion pertains primarily to northern Somali culture.Haweeneyda qoraaga ahi waxay falanqaynaysaa qaabab gaar ah oo ka mid ah suugaanta Soomaaliyeed ee aan qornayn oo ku saabsan dowrka iyo khibradda ay haweenku ku leeyihiin bulshada dhaxdeeda. Waxayna si gaar ah uga hadlaysaa dhaqanka Soomaalida Woqooyi.L'autrice esamina cosa rivelano alcune forme specifiche di letteratura orale somala sui ruoli e le esperienze delle donne in seno alla società. La discussione si riferisce per lo più alla cultura della Somalia settentrionale.Link: http://cssaame.dukejournals.org/content/16/2/81.full.pdf+html?sid=a0e57f95-44eb-42d4-bc93-7219eb2d8116Scaricare il file per accedere al link, oppure copiare il link in una nuova pagina internet.Si aad u eegto qoraalkan samay download-ka faylkan kaddib guji link-iga ama u guuri link-iga bog cusub ee internet.Download the file to access the link, or copy the link in a new page
