Unraveling behavior and cortical signals to guide the development of soft neuroprostheses for auditory restoration and spreading depolarization

Neuroprostheses have been used clinically for decades, to help restore or preserve brain functions, when pharmaceutical treatments are inefficient. Although great progress in the field has been made over the years to interface with the nervous system, surf ...

Protected Attributes Tell Us Who, Behavior Tells Us How: A Comparison of Demographic and Behavioral Oversampling for Fair Student Success Modeling

Tanja Christina Käser Jacober

Algorithms deployed in education can shape the learning experience and success of a student. It is therefore important to understand whether and how such algorithms might create inequalities or amplify existing biases. In this paper, we analyze the fairnes ...

Ant behavioral maturation is mediated by a stochastic transition between two fundamental states

Paolo De Los Rios, Matthias Rüegg

The remarkable ecological success of social insects is often attributed to their advanced division of labor, which is closely associated with temporal polyethism in which workers transition between different tasks as they age. Young nurses are typically fo ...

Modeling and analysis of parts and devices of genetic regulation

Yves Berset

DNA encrypts the composition of the cellular material that is synthesized through transcription and translation. Never-theless, gene regulation mechanisms determine the final amount of transcribed and translated material. Transcription factors (TF) are a c ...

Dimensional Crossover in a Charge Density Wave Material Probed by Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

Matthias Wolf, Helmuth Berger, Christophe Berthod

High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data reveal evidence of a crossover from one-dimensional (1D) to three-dimensional (3D) behavior in the prototypical charge density wave (CDW) material NbSe3. In the low-temperature 3D regime, gaps ...

The Subjective Sensation of Synchrony: An Experimental Study

Pierre Magistretti, Delphine Preissmann, Joan Llobera Mahy

People performing actions together have a natural tendency to synchronize their behavior. Consistently, people doing a task together build internal representations not only of their actions and goals, but also of the other people performing the task. Howev ...

Quantitative single-cell analysis of S. cerevisiae using a microfluidic live-cell imaging platform

Johannes Becker

Genome-wide manipulations and measurements have made huge progress over the last decades. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a well-studied eukaryotic model organism, homologous recombination allows for systematic deletion or alteration of a majority of its gene ...

Evolution of division of labor in artificial societies

Pawel Lichocki

Natural and artificial societies often divide the workload between specialized members. For example, an ant worker may preferentially perform one of many tasks such as brood rearing, foraging and nest maintenance. A robot from a rescue team may specialize ...

Specification, estimation and validation of a pedestrian walking behavior model

Michel Bierlaire, Gianluca Antonini, Thomas Robin, Javier Cruz Mota

We propose and validate a model for pedestrian walking behavior, based on discrete choice modeling. Two main types of behavior are identified: unconstrained and constrained. By unconstrained, we refer to behavior patterns which are independent from other i ...

Audio-visual detection of multiple chirping robots

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy

Design, study, and control of mixed animals-robots societies are the fields of scientific exploration that can bring new opportunities for study and control of groups of social insects and animals and, in particular, for improvement of welfare and breeding ...

AtSGP1, AtSGP2 and MAP4K alpha are nucleolar plant proteins that can complement fission yeast mutants lacking a functional SIN pathway

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the onset of septum formation is signalled via the septation initiation network (SIN) involving several protein kinases and a GTPase. Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus proteins homologous to fission yea ...
