An Extended Pose-Invariant Lipreading System
No full textIn recent work, we have concentrated on the problem of lipreading\ud
from non-frontal views (poses). In particular, we have focused on\ud
the use of profile views, and proposed two approaches for\ud
lipreading on basis of visual features extracted from such views:\ud
(a) Direct statistical modeling of the features, namely use of\ud
view-dependent statistical models; and (b) Normalization of such\ud
features by their projection onto the ``space'' of frontal-view\ud
visual features, which allows employing one set of statistical\ud
models for all available views. The latter approach has been\ud
considered for two only poses (frontal and profile views), and\ud
for visual features of a specific dimensionality. In this paper,\ud
we further extend this work, by investigating its applicability\ud
to the case where data from three views are available (frontal,\ud
left- and right-profile). In addition, we examine the effect of\ud
visual feature dimensionality on the pose-normalization approach.\ud
Our experiments demonstrate that results generalize well to three\ud
views, but also that feature dimensionality is crucial to the\ud
effectiveness of the approach. In particular, feature\ud
dimensionality larger than 30\ud
is detrimental to multi-pose visual speech recognition performance
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
EEG spectrogram data for "Speech-specific audiovisual integration modulates induced theta-band oscillations"
No full textThe data provided here are power spectrograms of electroencephalograms (EEG) from the two datasets referenced in the article "Speech-specific audiovisual integration modulates induced theta-band oscillations" by Lindborg, Baart, Stekelenburg, Vroomen, Andersen (submitted for publication in 2018).The folder contains two data files and a README.txt file describing how to open the data files and access the data.The EEG used to produce the spectrograms in the current study was originally recorded for two previously published studies: Baart, Stekelenburg & Vroomen, Neuropsychologia (2014), and Stekelenburg & Vroomen (2012).

Electrophysiological alterations in early auditory predictive processing as potential markers for autistic symptomatology
Get PDFAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder that has been linked to a range of perceptual processing alterations, including hypo- and hyperresponsiveness to auditory stimulation. A recently proposed theory that attempts to account for these symptoms suggest that autistic individuals have a decreased ability to anticipate upcoming sensory stimulation. In a series of ERP experiments, we show that autistic individuals have alterations in the early processing of both highly predictable self-initiated auditory stimulation (van Laarhoven, Stekelenburg, Eussen, & Vroomen, 2019), and unexpected omissions of auditory stimulation that is predictable by visual motion (van Laarhoven, Stekelenburg, Eussen, & Vroomen, 2020). In addition, deviancy detection of auditory speech is reduced in autistic individuals, while deviancy detection of visual speech and incongruent audiovisual speech seems to be intact (van Laarhoven et al., in prep). Our findings suggest that autistic individuals may indeed experience difficulties in anticipating upcoming auditory stimulation. Importantly, these difficulties might be due to domain-specific alterations, rather than general impairments in predictive coding. This notion provides potential avenues for future research on electrophysiological markers for autistic symptomatology
