Many Are The Ways to Learn: Identifying multi-modal behavioral profiles of collaborative learning in constructivist activities

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal

Understanding how learners engage with learning technologies, and its relation with their learning, is crucial to the design of effective learning interventions. Assessing the learners’ state however, is non-trivial. Research suggests that performance is n ...

Social NCE: Contrastive Learning of Socially-aware Motion Representations

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Yuejiang Liu

Learning socially-aware motion representations is at the core of recent advances in multi-agent problems, such as human motion forecasting and robot navigation in crowds. Despite promising progress, existing representations learned with neural networks sti ...

From human action understanding to robot action execution: how the physical properties of handled objects modulate non-verbal cues

Aude Billard, José Santos-Victor, Nuno Ricardo Ferreira Duarte, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis

Humans manage to communicate action intentions in a non-verbal way, through body posture and movement. We start from this observation to investigate how a robot can decode a human's non-verbal cues during the manipulation of an object, with specific physic ...

Tapping into Multi-Faceted Human Behavior and Psychopathology Using fMRI Brain Dynamics

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Elenor Morgenroth

Human behavior comprises many aspects that stand out by their dynamic nature. To quantify its neural underpinnings, time-resolved fMRI methods have blossomed over the past decade. In this review we conceptually organize a broad repertoire of dynamic analyt ...

Human-Human, Human-Robot and Robot-Robot Interaction While Walking: Data Analysis, Modelling and Control

Jessica Lanini

In everyday life humans perform many tasks with other partners which involve coordination, involuntary communication and mutual control adaptation, as the case of carrying objects together with another person. Humanoid robots may help with such activities ...

An Overview of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques for Organizational Research

Kerstin Preuschoff, Leyla Loued-Khenissi

Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a galvanizing tool for behavioral scientists. It provides a means by which to see what the brain does while a person thinks, acts, or perceives, without invasive procedures. In this, fMRI affords us a relatively eas ...

Resting brain dynamics at different timescales capture distinct aspects of human behavior

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois

Linking human behavior to resting-state brain function is a central question in systems neuroscience. In particular, the functional timescales at which different types of behavioral factors are encoded remain largely unexplored. The behavioral counterparts ...

Exploring the diversity of social preferences: Is a heterogeneous population evolutionarily stable under assortative matching?

Charles Chadi Ayoubi, Boris Thurm

Why do individuals make different decisions when confronted with similar choices? This paper investigates whether the answer lies in an evolutionary process. Our analysis builds on recent work in evolutionary game theory showing the superiority of a given ...

Personality traits in rats predict vulnerability and resilience to developing stress-induced depression-like behaviors, HPA axis hyper-reactivity and brain changes in pERK1/2 activity

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Jorge Eduardo Castro Cifuentes

Emerging evidence indicates that certain behavioral traits, such as anxiety, are associated with the development of depression-like behaviors after exposure to chronic stress. However, single traits do not explain the wide variability in vulnerability to s ...
