This research is about the performance of automated facial expression recognition. One of the goals was to examine whether an open source system can compete with a state of the art (and expensive) system. In order to ...

Similarity coding is dominant in the human lexicon. The educational game MindSort is based on this idea and therefore constitutes a psychologically plausible game for learning vocabulary. Not only words, also letters are ...

To explain the mechanics of decision making strategies, Gigerenzer, Todd, and the ABC research group (1999) put forth a model they called the adaptive toolbox. The tools in this adaptive toolbox are heuristics. Each of ...

Local field potentials (LFPs) are the low-pass filtered portion of the extracellular electrical recordings reflecting the sub-threshold activity within a small radius around the cells. The goal of this study was to explore ...

While different ERP markers of response inhibition have been documented in the literature, these are usually identified by comparing either executed- versus inhibited responses (the Go/NoGo task) or correctly inhibited- ...

In an existing particle filter tracking system at Thales Research & Technology it is required for a deep neural network to perform person re-identification on image pairs, maximizing the TPR and minimizing the FPR, in a ...

Tract tracing is a technique to show pathways of connections in the brain. The technique is invasive and therefore very costly and time consuming. Furthermore, not all results obtained with the technique are perfect. ...

The readiness potential (RP) and the event-related desynchronization (ERD) are neural signals that build up over the motor cortex 1.5-2 seconds prior to movement onset. Bai et al. (2011) were amongst the first to reliably ...

Goal directed behaviour requires selective attention, the process of biasing perception in favour of task-relevant information. Prior knowledge in the form of experience-based expec­tations heavily infiuences this function. ...

Rabobank aims to have an excellent customer experience. This thesis explores various facets of modeling the opinion of each individual Rabobank customer. A qualitative research is done to find potential applications of ...
