Directing attention through gaze hints Improves task solving in human-humanoid interaction
(2018-04-02)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, we report an experimental study designed to examine how participants interpret and perceive social hints from gaze exhibited by either a robot or a human tutor when carrying out a matching task. The underlying ... -
A transformational creativity tool to support chocolate designers
(Elsevier, 2015-12-01)
Article
Open AccessA new formulation of the central ideas of Boden's well-established theory on combinational, exploratory and transformational creativity is presented. This new formulation, based on the idea of conceptual space, redefines ... -
Building bridges for innovation in ageing: Synergies between action groups of the EIP on AHA
(2017-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe Strategic Implementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) proposed six Action Groups. After almost three years of activity, many achievements have been obtained ... -
Quantity of Movement as a Measure of Engagement for Dementia: The Influence of Motivational Disorders
(Sage, 2018-01-01)
Article
Open AccessEngagement in activities is crucial to improve quality of life in dementia. Yet, its measurement relies exclusively on behavior observation and the influence that behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) ... -
A multi-synchronous bi-directional NoC (MBiNoC) architecture with dynamic self-reconfigurable channel for the GALS infrastructure
(Elsevier, 2017-03-16)
Article
Open AccessAbstract To enhance the performance of on-chip communications of Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous Systems (GALS), a dynamic reconfigurable multi-synchronous router architecture is proposed to increase network on ... -
Deep learning for freezing of gait detection in Parkinson’s disease patients in their homes using a waist-worn inertial measurement unit
(2017-10-16)
Article
Open AccessAmong Parkinson’s disease (PD) motor symptoms, freezing of gait (FOG) may be the most incapacitating. FOG episodes may result in falls and reduce patients’ quality of life. Accurate assessment of FOG would provide objective ... -
A “HOLTER” for Parkinson's disease: validation of the ability to detect on-off states using the REMPARK system
(2018-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) with levodopa is very effective. However, over time, motor complications (MCs) appear, restricting the patient from leading a normal life. One of the most disabling MCs is ON-OFF ... -
Analysis of correlation between an accelerometer-Based algorithm for Detecting Parkinsonian gait and UPDRS subscales
(2017-09-01)
Article
Open AccessBackground: Our group earlier developed a small monitoring device, which uses accelerometer measurements to accurately detect motor fluctuations in patients with Parkinson’s (On and Off state) based on an algorithm that ... -
Determining the optimal features in freezing of gait detection through a single waist accelerometer in home environments
(Elsevier, 2017-05-17)
Article
Open AccessFreezing of gait (FoG) is one of the most disturbing and incapacitating symptoms in Parkinson's disease. It is defined as a sudden block in effective stepping, provoking anxiety, stress and falls. FoG is usually evaluated ... -
A waist-worn inertial measurement unit for Parkinson’s disease long-term monitoring
(2017-04-11)
Article
Open AccessInertial measurement units (IMUs) are devices used, among other fields, in health applications, since they are light, small and effective. More concretely, IMUs have demonstrated to accurately monitor motor symptoms of ... -
Estimating bradykinesia severity in Parkinson's disease by analysing gait through a waist-worn sensor
(Elsevier, 2017-05-01)
Article
Open AccessBradykinesia is a cardinal symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) and describes the slowness of movement revealed in patients. Current PD therapies are based on dopamine replacement, and given that bradykinesia is the symptom ... -
